Melissa's Song

I just finished Jeremy Camp's book, I Still Believe, and was just overwhelmed with how radiant Jesus was in his love story, Melissa's (his late wife) battle with cancer and the faith he clung to as he walked the rocky path toward healing. Such an inspiring testimony. Below is a song written by a Christian artist and friend of Jeremy & Melissa Camp. Read it and be blessed, friends. Love, Jen

It has been two years since Melissa went to be with her precious Lord Jesus and yet, her testimony lives on and still speaks to me today as loud as it did two years ago! I can still see her, lifting up her hands toward the sky, as we all worshiped Jesus in her's and Jeremy's living room, just a few weeks before February the 5th 2001. That is when God gave me this song. Remembering Melissa will always inspire me to be a worshiper of Jesus, to love God no matter what, to give him everything, my whole heart and to trust that He is in control. Melissa, I love you sister and, I look forward to see you again in heaven soon...We all miss you here but, the sweet memory of you causes us to want to live and love Jesus all the more and to "hasten the day" of His return... 2 Peter 3:10-13 says: But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. NKJV Blessings to all of you! P.S. Please pray for the Hennings, Jeremy and his family today! Lift them up before the Lord, that He would fill each one of them with a peace that passes all understanding...

- Jean-Luc.

Melissa

I know sometimes it’s hard to smile
But even through your pain
I see Jesus
Every time I see you
It’s His love that shines
And everyone believes He lives in you

I can see Jesus on your face
And I can see He’s real by how real is your faith
And in the hard times
Your faith remains so true
O Melissa
I wrote this song for you

O Melissa, O Melissa
How we know
He’s praying for you
O Melissa, sweet Melissa
We all know
Jesus ‘s carrying you

You know I keep praying for your strength
And your need to find God’s hope along the way
His everlasting arms are holding you
Even when strength has failed
He’ll carry you through

O Melissa, O Melissa
How we know
He’s praying for you
O Melissa, sweet Melissa
We all know
He is carrying you

When you are hurting
When in pain
You don’t hesitate to speak His name
He knows your name
He feels your pain
He knows it all
So rest in the shadow of his wings

Alleluia, Alleluia
Now we know
He was right there with you
O Alleluia, Alleluia
Safely home
He has carried you through

How we know
He was praying for you
O Alleluia, Alleluia
You’re in His love
In His care, Allelu…

Alleluia
He loves you, yes He loves you
He loves you more than words can say….
