Remembering Etta James

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of soul singer, Etta James. She was a living legend and an inspiration to me and so many singers. Her music has touched so many lives and will continue to.

No more suffering, Ms. James. Rest now. May you rest in peace!

=============================================

AS I CLOSE THE DOOR

Dear Lord, as I close the door on the old year,
I ponder the things I've done...
the things I've said and the joys I've had
I wonder, have I lost or won?

I've thought of new friends I have made,
and the old ones, staunch and true...
the paths of the old year made easier, Lord,
because I have walked them with You

I think of all the many times,
when my burdens were so heavy to bear,
and how my faith slipped away from me
but somehow You were always there

Now, as I open the door to this New Year,
and carefully peep inside,
I wonder what it holds for me...
but I'll throw the door open wide.

Whatever it brings to me and mine,
I'll meet it with a heart so true...
I know that, Lord, whatever it may be,
You'll be there to carry me through!
