Les Miserables: Bring Him Home

,

This song from Les Miserables is my favorite from that entire production. Once, Jodi and I were fortunate enough to obtain amazing seats (something like 4th row off center) in Chicago. I distinctly remember tearing up at this song. There's just something about the scenario of a father (which I am) praying (which I do) for the husband of a daughter (which I've been doing since before our girls were born...even though right now my daughters are FAR, FAR, FAR...FAR away from the age of courtship).

I appreciate and resonate with the simplicity and humility of the prayer song. An honest request to God for healing and blessing from one generation to another.

12 Days like you've never heard beforeLes Miserables: Epilogue...another favorite!

It was actually written for a woman praying for someone in the 1st world war trenches
