Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am yours

My heart dropped when I heard ‘thud’. I threw everything I was holding on to the floor and rushed to their side. But I was equally helpless. As Sharon was shouting for Tommy, all I could see was Jojo with his mouth wide open on his almost purplish face, with tears streaming down. Then I saw blood and I tried to clean the wounds. She had missed a step and fell with Jojo in her arms, and her hands couldn’t protect his tiny head from hitting the ground. Tommy’s face grew pale too. For the first time in my life, that expression on his face scared me. I knew somehow that he was worried and angry, all at the same time. But it was an accident, yes, an accident. The thought of it now still makes me feel very uneasy. I could almost still hear her screams and the scene flashed again.
I saw how a mother apologized frantically and asked her son for forgiveness. I saw how she wailed frantically for her husband. If anything were to happen to Jojo, I know she will never forgive herself. Sharon told me that she would have died if… … My heart was in great pain at the thought of this. And all I could do was to pray and cry then. I even called Michelle up and the floodgate just opened. They hold a very soft spot in my heart. Yes. I was blaming myself then. I should have stopped them from using the unfamiliar route. I should have walked in front and warned them of the steps ahead. I should have… Thank God, everything is alright now. Sharon had a fractured foot and baby Jo is still able to dance and play with us. Really, I thank God.
