When Liliana was two years old and beginning to form her words well, every night as we laid her in bed and said a goodnight prayer, she would conclude by saying, “Amen, Jésus, Amen.” She first called Jesus by His French name. We are trying to raise our girls bilingually, so hearing her sweet voice say “Jésus” brought joy to our hearts.
It is precious to consider that Christ’s children from around the globe call out to Him in their native tongues and He hears. He responds. He carries out the Father’s will in and through our lives. This Savior we serve is international. He is universal. He is all and in all (Colossians 3:11).
Below is a song written for Lillie that speaks of Christ’s Lordship.
AMEN, JÉSUS, AMEN
For Lillie

I realize how small I am
And I can’t comprehend how big You are
And Lord, I know not a day goes by
That You don’t occupy Your throne
Chorus
Your will be done in the daytime
Your will be done when the stars shine
For then, for now, and for all of time
Oh Amen, Jésus, Amen
Oh Amen, Jésus, Amen
You hold all things in the palm of Your hand
And I can’t understand why You hold me
For You are King, Lord of space and time
If You’d not think of me, I’d cease to be
The universe cannot contain
The glory due Your name and all You’re worth
And my small heart is captured by Your grace
And I will fill this place with Your praise
Chorus 2
Que ta volonté soit faite la journée
Que ta volonté soit faite la nuit étoilée
Pour aujourd’hui, pour l’éternité
Oh Amen, Jésus, Amen
Oh Amen, Jésus, Amen
