PEDESTAL BY SHERRI YOUNGWARD
transcribed by Jason Henry email: orion7@ptinet.com
This song really spoke to my heart; we need to be careful to not let
others take God's place in our lives, and if we really love them like
we think we do, we need to be willing to let them go in Christ, to love
and know them as God would have us to, for only He knows our hearts and
our true needs. God bless you all!
