“Love Them Long”
02.04.08
I wrote this song after Grace was born and sang it at her dedication service at Northeastern. I hope it encourages you to do the hard work of raising and training the next generation to love and serve the Lord.
I know my folks would go to the ends of the earth to make sure I lived for Christ. I am committed to loving my kids as long and as far as I have to. I will never, ever give up on them. They have been given back to God and regardless of the struggles they may face, I will love them as long as it takes.
What a wonderful song! It brought tears to my eyes as I listened and touched my heart. Thank you for a very nice reminder of how important it is to raise our children to know God.
I wish you all the best with your music!
God Bless,
Laura

Nate,
I don’t remember hearing this song, it made me cry. I know, that is such a shock! I am so proud to call you “son,” keep living and writing songs for Him!
Love you,
Mom Giehl
I wrote it to sing the night we dedicated Grace to the Lord before the church. It will be on my next vocal CD with Levi’s song, “Man of the Cloth.” (If the Lord wills, probably 2011 after I finish my degree.)
Hi Nate,
I really like this one. Thank you for posting.
