I have a family member who is going through a really rough season, and when it looks like it could get better - another hard day comes at her, so I wrote this for her
And it reminds us all that on the hard days- He is still here...He has always been there, and He will remain ...right here. And for me personally, if He seems far away, it's because I've moved. And when life is painful for us, don't think for a second that His heart doesn't break for us...He is our Father, and He loves us so
I remember a time back when
life was easier than this mess I'm livin in
My days were filled with laughter and with smiles
these days are gone with once upon a time
Just when I think I have come up for air
Life has beat me down again
My journey's long and my journey is tough
When will my Lord say I have hard enough?
(Chorus)
Then I reach for you to hold me
and I close my eyes and you are here
I feel your hand brush against my cheek
and you gently wipe away my tears
and I know You are here
And now I go to the source of strength
b/c the strength in me is gone
I would cry but I have nothing left
I'm empty, Lord, I'm empty
Come and rescue me
(Chorus)
-You’ve never left me, Lord
I know that You are here
Always by my side I know that You are Here
I’ll close my eyes and know that You are right beside me
