music monday// He is with you

life. such a little word-a four letter word yet it holds so much. it's up and down, joy and grief, peace and anxiety, a smooth, calm sea and a turbulent, high tide ocean. it ebbs and flows. in the midst of all of these, my anchor, my sure rock, has, is and will continue to be Jesus. the Word in flesh.

as i sail through this uncertain sea of life, i hold His promises close to my heart, and i cling to Him for dear Life- the life filled with deep joy even in the most disturbing situation, and the life that awaits me for eternity! He is the anchor of my soul. He is with me and He assures me of it.

 i love this song cos of how it captures snapshots of different kinds of people and what they may be facing.

He is with you~ mandisa

there's a time to live and a time to die,

there's a time to laugh and a time to cry

there's a time for war and a time for peace, 

there's a Hand to hold in the worst of these,

in the worst of these.

He is with you when your faith is dead and you can't even get out of bed

or your husband doesn't kiss you anymore.

He is with you when your baby's gone and your house is still,

and your heart's a stone crying "God, what'd You do that for?"

He is with you.

there's a time for yes and a time for no,

there's a time to be angry and a time to let it go.

there's a time to run and a time to face it.

there is Love to see you through all of this,

through all of this.

He is with you in the conference room when the world is coming down on you

and your wife and kids don't know you anymore.

and He is with you in the ICU when the doctors don't know what to do

and it scares you to the core. He is with you.

we may weep for a time, but joy will come in the morning, the morning light.

He is with you when your kids are grown,

when there's too much space and you feel alone

and you're worried if you've got it right or wrong.

yes, He is with you when you've given up on ever finding your true love,

someone who feels like home. He is with you.

when nothing else is left and you take your final breath, He is with you.

He is with you.
