God is Still Good

This post is more like I planned to write for the holiday, but then I wrote more than I could possibly put in one post.

So when life is whirling all around you and nothing makes sense - there is one truth to hang on to, one truth which holds in any storm life throws your way. When we have an anchor, we may get tossed overboard and feel we are going under, but it stays the course and keeps us safe.

This song was about all I could cling to when our world went black. Perhaps it will give you a glimmer of hope as well.

 

You turn the key
Then close the door behind you
Drop your bags on the floor
You reach for the light
But there's darkness deep inside
And you can't take it anymore

'Cause sometimes living takes the life out of you
And sometimes living is all you can do

Life is hard, the world is cold
We're barely young and then we're old
But every falling tear is always understood
Yes, life is hard, but God is good

You start to cry
'Cause you've been strong for so long
And that's not how you feel
You try to pray
But there's nothing left to say
So you just quietly kneel

In the silence of all that you face
God will give you His mercy and grace

Jesus never said
It was an easy road to travel
He only said that you would never be alone
So when your last thread of hope
Begins to come unraveled
Don't give up, He walks beside you
On this journey home and He knows

Life is hard, the world is cold
We're barely young and then we're old
But every falling tear is always understood
Yes, life is hard, but God is good
