For the broken hearts

There are moments in life when the pain seems almost unbearable when you are so broken you are barely breathing. When its hard to get out of bed or to sleep or to eat or to just function normally.  I'm writing this song for people experiencing those moments.  Though it can be any loss tragedy or trial I specifically had in mind women who have experienced the death of their husband or divorce or a severe breakup.  Losing someone you love after a deep relationship can be the most painful moments in life but we really do come out on the other side and the pain does subside and we do heal and live and breathe and laugh freely again in time.  Though I don't know how people get through it without God.  He is truly our grace and our help in time of need.  

This song isn't finished but I wanted to post it anyway.  

I see your heart there in a million pieces

I've been there before too

When all your hopes And all your dreams

Come crashing down around you 

You've never felt pain like this

And now you're questioning all his promises

You're gonna have to fight Like you've never fought before

But you're gonna win Cause he's fighting for you even more

You're gonna make it through this

There is a light on the other side of the night

You're gonna make it through this

Right now he's holding you so tight

So don't give up and don't give in

You're gonna make it through

Right now it feels like the pain will never end 

But that is just a lie

Even now your heart is on the mend

It really will all be better in time

Even the memories will fade

And light will break forth with a brand new day

You will have joy you will laugh again

You will lift your hands and give thanks for what is and what has been

You're gonna make it through this

There is a light on the other side of the night

You're gonna make it through this

Right now he's holding you so tight

So don't give up and don't give in

You're gonna make it through

My Provider.

Trusting God to provide can be a tough place.  Whether it is for a hearts desire or finances waiting is not easy.  Patience according to gods word literally means waiting in joyful expectation.  That is the place of real trust in our Father but how easy it is when the waiting seems too long that we begin to experience despair and lose sight of the promises of God.  Sometimes I think the waiting is according to the size of the blessing.  Abraham was given such a huge promise from God but He had to wait for it.  How often we create Ishmaels In our lives because we don't have patience.  Hold on to hope.  Wait for the promise.  He is faithful.  

This is a song I wrote several years ago that I've been singing some lately!  Just a reminder that HE IS FAITHFUL.  I wrote this song after I came through a very hard season and began to see Gods blessing in my life.  It was like the dawn finally came but I wrote it as a reminder to myself that even in the hard times the desert places we can know without a doubt that the morning is coming!  Hold on to hope! 

As I wait for the fulfillment of His provision and promises in several areas of my life, I am reminding my soul to hold on to hope- the expectation of good things- and to be patient- to wait in joyful expectation! He is good!  He is faithful!  

"Though the sorrow may last for the night, joy comes in the morning!" - ps. 30:5 

Jehovah

When my life is like a desert

Lord You are my oasis

When I'm down to barely living 

You sustain me

When it seems all hope is gone

Ill look forward to the dawn

For I know 

The Lord my God

He is faithful

Jehovah jireh

My Provider

Jehovah Rapha

You're healing me

Jehovah Nissi

You go with me

You are you are 

My Jehovah God

In the presence of my enemies

You prepare a table before me

And you lead me through 

the valley of the shadow

In the middle of the darkest night

Oh I can see the light

For I know The Lord my God

He is faithful

Jehovah jireh

My Provider

Jehovah Rapha

You're healing me

Jehovah Nissi

You go with me

You are you are 

My Jehovah God
