I can remember how Jeremiah's songs could lift me up when nothing else could. He must have written over a hundred songs and we still sing many of them today. One of my favorites was, "I know a Dove". It's happy, cheerful melody made me feel good all over. (see words below) Jeremiah was the one where Dad said, "The kind of people that we want to have in the Family, are the kind you can't get rid of." Meaning that, he wasn't a quitter. Jeremiah was one of those "sinning saints", but when I was a babe, I really needed to have people like that around me. For example, I remember one day I was particularly depressed. I never seemed to "come up to the average" especially when it came to memorizing. I had had a serious problem with drugs before joining the Family and my brain had pretty much been fried. So memorizing was tough and the result was that I would get really down and feeling like a total failure. Then one morning, I heard a lot of laughter coming from one of the tables in the dining room at TSC. There, in the middle was Jeremiah. Everyone around him had a smile on their face. I drew closer. I needed some sunshine that day. As I edged nearer I could hear that he was talking about memorizing. I cringed. But then he said, "Hey, I was feeling really proud of myself! I memorized 25 verses in 3 days, 20 more 3 days later and on and on. After about a month I suddenly realized I had now a huge review system and I hadn't even looked at it!" He let out a mock howl of fear and everyone roared!I walked off feeling relieved. "Whew! There's hope for me." At TSC, all of the older brethren took turns giving devotions and I'll never forget this one morning when Jeremiah's turn came up. He started talking about self-righteousness, so I braced myself for a bout of condemnation. To my surprise, he was using himself as an example! He brought up many points that helped me (as we say) "see the lightning without feeling the bolt". Again, I felt relieved, "Wow. What an honest person. I want to be like that!" Jeremiah was an inspirationalist. An emotional and sensitive person. Such people usually have problems while in this life. I know that Jeremiah had some real rough times later on and his life ended all too soon, but I know for sure that there was once a little diamond of dust that shone very brightly on my sad and fearful heart. The light from that diamond helped me to keep plodding ahead. His songs still reverberate in my heart and in the hearts of all those who are touched by them. God bless you, Jeremiah, you have done what you could and we love you. (written by Gabriella) Here are the words to: I know a Dove by Jeremiah I know a dove. He's with me all the time. And when I'm confused, He gives me peace of mind. And when I do wrong, He punishes me, But he always gives me a song, so I can sing the victory. So, Make peace with my Dove. Receive Him today. You know He's God's love and there is no other way, He wants to come in and sup with you You just have to confess your sin, and you'll know Jesus too. Here are the words to the music you are listening to. Amazing Grace, shall always be my song of praise For it was grace that brought me liberty I do not know, just why He came to love me so He looked beyond my fault and saw my need I shall forever lift mine eyes to Calvary To view the cross, where Jesus died for me How marvelous, His grace that caught my falling soul He Looked beyond my fault and saw my need.

Here are the words to: I know a Dove by Jeremiah
And when I'm confused, He gives me peace of mind.
And when I do wrong, He punishes me,
But he always gives me a song, so I can sing the victory.
So, Make peace with my Dove.
Receive Him today.
You know He's God's love and there is no other way,
He wants to come in and sup with you
You just have to confess your sin, and you'll know Jesus too.
Here are the words to the music you are listening to.
For it was grace that brought me liberty
I do not know, just why He came to love me so
He looked beyond my fault and saw my need
I shall forever lift mine eyes to Calvary
To view the cross, where Jesus died for me
How marvelous, His grace that caught my falling soul
He Looked beyond my fault and saw my need.
