Today was one of those days where I got lost in the past. And this time it hit me hard...I wanted to give up. And just when I was about to throw my hands in the air, the towel in the bucket, and peace out...a song came on Pandora that I hadn’t heard before.
I promise you it was one of those ‘cliche’ moments where I turned up my music for no reason and it was precisely what I needed to hear. And it’s those moments where I know I have to listen because it’s no coincidence.
When Tears Fall by Tim Hughes
“I've had questions without answers
I've known sorrow, I have known pain
But there's one thing that I cling to
You are faithful, Jesus You're true
When hope is lost
I call You Saviour
When pain surrounds
I call You Healer
When silence falls
You'll be the song within my heart”
It reminded me of one of my favorite Old Testament passages: Lamentations 3. It may seem a bit morbid at first for being a favorite passage but wait until you get to verses 16-24.
It’s been a passage of comfort to me in many times, reminding me that God’s faithfulness does not change no matter the circumstances.
Rest of the Lyrics:
In the lone hour of my sorrow
Through the darkest night of my soul
You surround me, You sustain me
My defender for ever more
When hope is lost
I call You Saviour
When pain surrounds
I call You Healer
When silence falls
You'll be the song within my heart
And I will praise You
I will Praise You
When the tears fall
Still I will sing to You
I will praise You
Jesus praise You
Through the suffering
Still I will sing to You
[repeat]
When the laughter fails to comfort
When my heart aches, Lord are you there?
When confusion is all around me
And the darkness is my closest friend
Still I'll praise You
Jesus praise You
