Last night at Celebrate Recovery we had a real celebration. We had a great pot luck dinner to comemerate our two year anniversary.
After our dinner and fellowship time our great little C.R. Praise Team led us in a few songs, beginning with a couple of surprises.
First song, think back to 1982ish and see if you can remember where these words come from:
Making your way through the world today
Takes everything you’ve got.
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot.
Wouldn’t you like to get away?
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
And they’re always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same.
You wanna be
Where everybody knows your name.
Recognize those words? It is the theme song from the TV show Cheers. Hope no one is offended by that, but the words are perfect for C.R. That is exactly how we feel about coming to C.R. where we know each other and are always glad to get together.
Now, for the next song, first you have to get the tune in your head. Back to the early 80’s again. Kool and the Gang…Celebration. Now, sing these words to that tune:
Yahoo! It’s a celebration Cel-e-brate Re-cov-er-y! Cel-e-brate Re-cov-er-y!
There’s a party goin on right here. A celebration that’s lasted two years. So bring your heartaches, and your hangups too We’re gonna celebrate recovery with you, come on now
Celebration..Let’s all shout aloud “He’s setting us free!”
Celebration…Just let Him love you—that’s the way to be.
It’s time to come together, It’s up to you—life a treasure Where everyone is Family, come on
Yahoo! It’s a celebration Cel-e-brate Re-cov-er-y! Cel-e-brate Re-cov-er-y!
Thanks to Les Maxwell and the C.R Praise team for two great new songs!
