Dawson's first year of life

This video was Jeff's idea but I asked to do it since this song means so much to me personally. During the first few days after diagnosis, Jeff had played this song and I just went to tears. This song touched me so much during the days of uncertainty, anger, confusion, and sadness. This song made me realize that I had to turn it over to God and He would take care of everything. I then felt calm and knew that Dawson, that we, would be okay. God is in control and he is the calmer of this storm and we are all okay...Dawson is okay.

Tomorrow, September 4th, is a very special day for us. It's Dawson's birthday and as parents we couldn't be more proud. Please join with us as we celebrate his first year of life.

• When everything is wrong


• The day has passed and nothing's done


• And the whole world seems against me


• When I'm rolling in my bed, there's a storm in my head


• I'm afraid of sinking in despair.

• Teach me Lord to have faith


• In what you're bringing me will


• Change my life and bring you glory

• There on the storm I am learning to let go


• Of the will that I so long to control


• There may I be in your arms eternally


• I thank you Lord, You are the calmer of the storm

• You rebuke the wind and the waves


• Once again I find I'm amazed by the power of your will


• 'Cause I'm a child of little faith


• I feel the wind and forget your grace


• And you say " Peace be Still."

• Teach me Lord to have faith


• In what you're bringing me will


• Change my life and bring you glory

• There on the storm I am learning to let go


• Of the will that I so long to control


• There may I be in your arms eternally


• I thank you Lord You are the calmer of the storm.

• Oh when the torment blows


• The middle of the sea


• May I never trust, never trust in me


• 'Cause there in your arms I find


• No tragedy.

• There on the storm I am learning to let go


• The white wave's high, it's crashing o'er the deck


• And I don't know where to go


• Where are you Lord, is my ship going down?


• The mast is gone so throw the anchor


• Should I jump and try to swim to land?

• There on the storm, teach me God to understand


• Of your will that I just cannot control.


• There may I see all your love protecting me


• I thank you Lord, you are the calmer of the storm
