music monday// little light

sometimes we just need others to tell us they understand what we're going through you know. that it's hard, yes, but that there is hope. this is a song from me to you reading that i know how life can be-frustrating, painful, agonizing, seemingly hopeless. but there is always light at the end of the struggles, beyond the pain and darkness.

little light~ rachel platten

looking for a little light to illuminate the truth and the stillness after everything is blown away.

life fades in the cuts and the struggles, i just need a light at the end of the tunnel.

look up, do the lines on your face cut a little bit deeper? i know you're not feeling very young.

so tired, stuck in this place like you don't wanna be here. 

i know voices call you in the night- come away, come away.

just looking for a little light to illuminate the truth and the stillness after everything is blown away.

life fades in the cuts and the struggles, i just need a light at the end of the tunnel.

hey now, from the wells of your eyes comes a deep frustration. sometimes it can seem so hard to try.

everyday is a need for money, you bleed. you're lonely when there's someone beside you.

i know that in these arms you'll find all of this will pass.

cause everybody needs a harbor in the tempest,

a reason to believe you're more than what you have,

even more than what you had, cause all of this will pass.

"many are saying of me, 'God will not deliver him.' but You, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high." psalm 3:2-3 

"in  all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. these have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith- of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire- may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed."1 peter 1:6-7 

"...and we boast in the hope of the glory of God. not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." romans 5:2-5

we'll always find redemption if we hold on to Jesus especially in the tough times. this too shall pass. hold on to the glimpses of hope God has placed around and within your heart.
