Ten Thousand Reasons


Where have I been?
My source of strength is right here with me all these times
What is it that upsets me?
That I forget to count my abundant blessings
Have I been distracted from my ultimate goal?
That I let the worries of the world haunt my sleeps at night
Oh what a shame, my soul…
You just fell for the umpteenth time
It’s indeed some rocky roads…
Yet worry not my soul
For His arms are never too far to reach you
Just in time…
And so I bend down my knees
To worship His kindness
And for ten thousand reasons He is worthy of
He, who puts His faith in me
Even in my darkest moments

A Priest Walks into a Bar

Lucifer                  : Please tell me you didn't come out here to talk to Him.
Father Frank         : God?  This is as good a spot as any.
Lucifer                  : (laughs) Right. Does He, uh... does He ever talk back?
Father Frank         : I don't need to hear Him to... hear Him. If you know what I mean.
Lucifer                  : Well, yes, He never talks to me, either. Listen, um... sorry about the altar boy. Surely you know you're not to blame. I mean, some people are just... beyond saving.
Father Frank         : That's where you're wrong. There's still hope for him.
Lucifer                  : He shot up your church, he's most likely running a drug ring behind your back, and, oh, yes, killed a man.
Father Frank         : I don't believe that.
Lucifer                  : Look, what if it's true?
Father Frank         : Then he needs me even more.
Lucifer                  : How can you still have faith in this boy?
Father Frank         : God has faith in him. In all of us. Even in our darkest moments.
Lucifer                  : Oh, you really believe that.
Father Frank         : I do. Why don't you?
Lucifer                  : Because He didn't have faith in me.
Father Frank         : I felt that way once, too. But now I know, deep in my heart, God has a plan for me.
Lucifer                  : Oh, His plan for me was quite clear.
Father Frank             : How do you know it's finished?
