Along Came a Song

Every now and again, a song comes a long at just the right time. In this case, it is more like I have been reintroduced to a song at just the right time. I had a good conversation with my friend, Enuma, over the weekend about my spiritual life. I have been wrestling for a long time with God about a number of different things. This weekend, I finally took some time to revisit what I have been avoiding for so long. There is a journey that I need to take and I am not sure if I am ready. In the midst of my current confusion, I reminded that God is there waiting patiently for me. Today, one of the students I worked with in KY posted a few of the lyrics from this song:

Your Hands by JJ Hellard

I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn't there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That You would take my pain away
That You would take my pain away

I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crookedly lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands

When You walked upon the Earth
You healed the broken, lost, and hurt
I know You hate to see me cry
One day You will set all things right
Yea, one day You will set all things right

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands

Your hands
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave You when...

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave...
I never leave Your hands
