Our Hope Endures...

I recently heard this song by Natalie Grant and boy, could I ever identify with the lyrics! It's called "Our Hope Endures"...

You would think only so much can go wrong
Calamity only strikes once
And you assume that this one has suffered her share
Life will be kinder from here

Sometimes the sun stays hidden for years
Sometimes the sky rains night after night
When will it clear
But our hope endures the worst of conditions
It's more than our optimism
Let the earth quake
Our hope is unchanged

How do we comprehend peace within pain
Our joy at a good man's wake
Walk a mile with a woman whose body is torn
With illness but she marches on

Sometimes the sun stays hidden for years
Sometimes the sky rains night after night
When will it clear
But our hope endures the worst of conditions
It's more than our optimism
Let the earth quake
Our hope is unchanged

Emanuel, God is with us
El Shaddai, all sufficient
Emanuel, God is with us
El Shaddai, all sufficient
Emanuel, God is with us
El Shaddai, all sufficient

We never walk alone
This is our hope
Our hope endures, the worst of conditions
It's more than our optimism
let the earth quake
let the earth quake
let the earth quake
Our hope is unchanged

I think the words to this song are particularly important to remember....we are never alone - God truly is always with us! I take great comfort in that and you can too.

  6. The words to this song brought tears to my eyes. There is much thinking, praying and hope going on in my heart right now.

    Thank you for this post. I still owe you a letter - I haven't forgotten! I have, however, been blessed with a house full of company for about the past month or so. I will write to you soon.

    I hope you have a wonderful, happy and HEALTH New Year!

    Hugs and love to you,
