Happy He Cares Anniversary!!

Kuya Joe Dean finally got to live his dream.

He's always wanted to have a little acoustic Christian bar-restaurant where people can gather to relax and listen and sing along to live Christian music. Last night, the He Cares garage/feeding area was transformed into just that - and Kuya the Christian-folk singer/guitarist got to take center stage. But actually Someone else was the acknowledged Star of the evening: the Love of our lives, the Reason for our being, the One who truly cares for us. As He Cares celebrated the actual day of its "inception," August 10, ten years ago, we worshipped and thanked and jammed with Him who loves us unlike any other. Acoustic, unplugged. :-)

And I got to sing No Greater Love again, after what seems like ages - accompanied by no other than Kuya Ben S. Catering (a Spanish menu!) of course provided and presented with much love and personalized detail by C+C, which was born through and will always stand side-by-side with He Cares. For Christ Cares, if we haven't mentioned it enough yet :-)

No Greater Love
(One of my very favorite praise/worship songs, one of the very first I learned in the renewal, thanks to Momma Dave - miss you)

You loved me, when I was so unlovely
You sought me, when I was lost
You showed me how much You really loved me
When you bought me at the highest cost

There's no greater love than this
There's no greater love than this
That a man would give his life for a friend
There's no higher sacrifice, than a man should give his life
You have paid a precious price for me

You chose me, when I was so unworthy
You cleansed me, with Your own blood
You clothed me with righteousness and mercy
And You crowned me, with Your steadfast love
