00:26 You let a boy die
00:30 Help each other
00:22 They taught us that no one who loves the way of grace
00:18 He's in God's hands now
00:30 Toscanini
00:34 Help me not to sass my dad
00:11 Your mother's naive Whoa
00:30 Do you trust in God
00:31 We'll be rich
00:05 That's where God lives
00:28 Light of my life
00:34 I see the child that I was
00:35 Job imagined he might build his nest on high
00:05 Tell us a story from before we can remember
00:10 The world lives by trickery
00:04 Who are we to you
00:26 Is there some fraud in the scheme of the universe
00:28 He sought that which is eternal
00:12 Mother
00:04 He was sitting next to me at the piano
00:19 How did I lose you
00:05 You'll be grown before that tree is tall

00:08 To have its own way
00:23 I didn't know how to name you then
00:12 Left What are you doing
00:19 What I want to do I can't do

00:24 You're all I have You're all I want to have
01:11 Where were you
00:06 Why was he born

00:33 Keep us

in trouble...

00:12 Bless this food to our use.
00:20 Brother
01:17 Brother
02:57 Brother
00:20 But does not also the one see God's hand who sees that...
00:28 Can you pass the butter, please?
00:22 Come back here, son. Stay out of there.

00:30 Do you trust in God Job too was close to the Lord
00:23 Get her! Get her!
00:19 Grace does not try
to please itself.
00:15 He was in God's hands the whole time.
00:19 He says, 'Don't put your elbows on the table....
00:06 He sends flies to wounds
that He should heal.
00:06 He'd sit next to me at the piano and I
criticized where...
00:13 Help me be thankful
for everything I've got.
00:18 He's in God's hands now
00:06 Hey, dad.
I'm sorry I said what I said.
02:06 How did you come to me
00:20 How did I lose you
00:11 How do I get back
00:14 How do you like it?
00:17 I can't see!
I can't see!
00:21 I didn't know how to name you sin
00:21 I didn't know how to name you sin.
00:08 I found it. I found this old bone.
00:06 I just feel like I'm bumping into walls.
00:20 I love you all three the same.
00:08 I made him feel shame.
00:06 I never got a chance to
tell him how sorry I was.
00:13 I see my brother.
00:34 I see the child that was
00:19 I shall fear no evil.
00:21 I think about him every day. I just
shouldn't have said...

00:09 I'm sorry.
