MY LAST POST

It's been quite a year and so there have been fewer blog posts than usual.  In April we received the news that we would be returning to the UK and now here we are surrounded by boxes and embracing a new ministry in North London.  This will be my last post on this blog and so I thought I would share with you our moving song.  I think all Pastors kids should have a moving song.  A. and I composed this together a few weeks before we moved and I sang it to him so much that it drove him mad - it helped me and I think it helped him! The words should be sung to the all too familiar tune of, 'Let it go', from the film Frozen.  I wasn't brave enough to post a recording of me singing it so here are the words:

The sun shines on the apartment tonight
It's almost 30 degrees.
A city full of people and we've been here for 6 years.
God told us to come here and we just had to obey.
Could not say no, heaven knows I tried.

They let us in, they gave us visas, CPF-e and RNE.
We ate the rice, feijao and pao.......de queijo    But we have to

Go, got to Go
Got to go back to England now.
Got to go, got to go
I really have to go.
Here I stand, but not for long
Gotta get that plane
- I never liked mosquitos anyway.

(music)

It's funny how travelling all this distance
Makes everything seem small.
The fear that once controlled me can't stop me anymore.
Jesus, we've seen what you can do when we give our life over to you.
The Spirit makes us free in Li......berdade.

Got to go, got to go
Got to go back to England now.
Got to go, got to go
I think I might just cry.
Here I stand, but not for long
Gotta get that plane...(music)

I really want to stay because I could be
The most amazing footballer you have ever seen.
There's Neymar and Kaka but I'll never play
In the World Cup, for Brazil one day.....

Got to go, got to go
Gonna arrive at the break of dawn
Got to go, got to go
Following God's call.
We love Brazil but we love God more
So we're moving on.....
We're glad that we came anyway.
