You Never Let Go

It has been one of those weeks.

In the last week I’ve:

Got locked out of my house
Broke down in the middle of no where
Had a mishap with my bank
Been sick
Found out a person from my childhood passed away
Lost power
Much more that I’m sure I’ve just blocked out of my mind – LOL

It seemed that each day as I thought the week would turn around, something would happen and it would just continue to go downhill. Every day I found myself going to God and giving over my frustration and praying that the next day would be better. It just seemed that no matter what or how optimistic I tried to look at the situation – things never improved.

I must say that through it all God provided people along the way to share in my experiences. I guess it is true that misery loves company. So I can’t say it was all bad at least I was with people that I enjoy being around.

All week, I would occasionaly have a song run through my head. Just thought I should share it and hope it brings others encouragement as it did me.

You Never Let Go
Matt Redman

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I’m caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won’t turn back
I know you are near

And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?

(Chorus:)
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me

And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We’ll live to know You here on the earth

(Chorus)

Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You

(Chorus 2x’s)

Have a great weekend everyone. Hopefully mine will turn around.

Later,
