    Just for Fun: A Song

    Hey, fam. I wrote this song last night and got a chance to record it this morning. My voice has changed a lot because of my vocal cord injuries (self-inflicted--I extubated myself twice in the ICU). I'm definitely an alto now :) and I have been enjoying the personal side of relationship with Jesus recently. So, that is what this song is about. It's called "Jesus Tender" which IS NOT, in fact, a piece of chicken wrapped in Jesus. But I do enjoy a good poultry joke.  The words:  Jesus tender, you're my refuge Jesus, my friend, you are my joy Jesus, here, I'm secure I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid Jesus And I sing for you're near me And I cry, tears roll down my face in laughter And I love your smile, bright as the sunrise You are my one heart's desire, Jesus You are enough for me You are my joy You never leave me I am safe, safe here with you Jesus Peace,  ~Amanda
