Life has been anything but easy over the last month or so.
I have thought many times about what my next blog post should be, what I should share, what I should leave out… I have started to write so many times, and just didn’t have the energy, or the focus, or the time to do it justice.
Tonight is much the same, but I heard an old familiar song start to play in my mind earlier, and it brought me comfort. I wanted to share this song with y’all, in case someone else needs to hear it too. I pray that it gives you the peace you need to face any trial in your path.
When I am able, I’ll write more. Until then…
Because He Lives:
God sent His Son, they called him Jesus,
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died, to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride, and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
And then one day I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain;
And then as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
Blessings,
Emily
