Elmer's Brother

Thanks Heather and Craig, for reminding me of Bruce. His songs remind me of my father, so I’ve often avoided listening to him. Still, I needed a dose.

If you want some more of Bruce, check him out here.

My favorite song is

I Know Where I Stand

Vince Gill was a guest singer

Just like an actor, unsure of my lines
I lived my life for other people, one lie at a time
Desperate for approval, always tryin’ to look good
Never sure of who I was or where I stood
Till You came into my heart, and exposed me with Your light
Till You touched me with Your love, and You healed me with Your life.

I know where I stand, strong and secure
I finally know who I am, I’m myself and I’m Yours
Gonna stand on Your promise, I always stand tall
Even when I fall, I know where I stand

So good to be real now, to know and be known
Resting in Your perfect love, my heart is finally home
Completely forgiven of all that I’ve done
Now I’m living my life for an audience of one
Finally sure of who I am, and I’m sure of who I’m not
The insecurity is gone, because I live on the Rock

I no longer live my life by what other people say
But I only live for You, ’cause Your love will never change
And though people let me down, You’ll never turn away
No You’ll never turn away, that’s why
