All of Me...Matt Hammitt

I was driving home several months ago from the gym at 6am and I was listen to KLove, which I normally do. They asked if everyone would keep the Hammitt family in their prayers today as their son, Bowen, was about to have his first of several open heart surgeries. Bowen Hammitt is the son of Matt Hammitt, the lead singer of Sanctus Real (a Christian Group). Of course, this touches my heart deeply after all we have and continue to go through daily. By the time I got home, I could not remember the blog, go figure that is my brain for you. A few weeks later they talked about it again and this time, I pulled over to write it down. I had been trying to find the blog since the first time I heard about it, but for some reason could not. I guess, God knew how much I had been praying for them and how greatly Bowen had already touched my heart.

Bowen has Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). HLHS is when the left ventricle is hypoplastic, meaning it is underdeveloped or not functioning. The prodecures to help correct this are very similar to what Natalie is going and has gone through, just on the oppositve side of the heart.

Matt Hammitt wrote this song for his son Bowen. It is not our yet, but will be on the next album...


All of Me...


Afraid to love something that could break


Could I move on if you were torn away?


I'm so close to what I can't control


Can't give you half my heart and pray He makes you whole


You're gonna have all of me


You're gonna have all of me


You're worth every falling tear


You're worth facing any fear


You're gonna know all my love


Even if it's not enough


Enough to mend our broken hearts


But giving you all of me is where I'll start


I won't let sadness steal you from my arms


I won't let pain keep you from my heart


I'll trade the fear of all that I could lose


For every moment I'll share with you


You're gonna have all of me


You're gonna have all of me


You're worth every falling tear


You're worth facing my fear


You're gonna know all my love


Even if it's not enough


Enough to mend our broken hearts


But giving you all of me is where I'll start


Heaven brought you to this moment


It's too wonderful to speak


You're worth all of me


You're worth all of me


Let me recklessly love you


Even if I bleed


You're worth all of me


You're worth all of me


World News interview the Hammitts around Thanksgiving. I have posted the link to the page, which also has a link to Matt singing his song. What a testimate to faith!




I ask you all to say a prayer for all the congential heart defect children and their families and for all the children and the families of the children who have gone to Heaven to be with our Lord and Savior...
