Song on my mind

[jesusfreakdc]

There are times that we don’t know how to describe our feelings and somehow a song that isn’t quite saying it all will describe our situation pretty accurately. When things aren’t going well, Rom 8:28 tells us that God will work all things for good. He will bring beauty from pain. I just wish that no one would ever have to feel like this, but James 1:2 tells us to count it all joy when you face trials of all kinds. Joy isn’t a fake happy smile, but a trust and deep down contentment in the Lord and his word despite what the circumstances look like. Here is that song.

Beauty From Pain by Superchick
The lights go out all around me
One last candle to keep out the night
And then the darkness surrounds me
I know I'm alive
But I feel like I've died

And all that's left is to accept that it's over
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made
I try to keep warm but I just grow colder
I feel like I'm slipping away

After all this has passed
I still will remain
After I've cried my last
There'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today
Someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

My whole world is the pain inside me
The best I can do is just get through the day
When life before is only a memory
I wonder why God let me walk through this place

And though I can't understand why this happened
I know that I will when I look back someday
And see how You've brought beauty from ashes
And made me as gold purified through these flames

Here and I am at the end of me (at the end of me)
Trying to hold to what I can't see
I forgot how to hope
This night's been so long
I cling to your promise there will be a dawn

Hope everyone has a good day.

Love in Christ
