There's Always a Song

I am so thankful that there is always a song out there by an artist who can express exactly how we feel during a given time. Sometimes we feel these things on a daily basis, for an extended period of time or just for a moment. 

Jeremy Camp's new album, I Will Follow, has a song called "He Knows." God knew that I would need to hear this album, these songs, these words-at this moment in my life. Here are the words that have resonated with me so deeply since I first heard them a few days ago: 

all the bitter weary ways

endless striving day by day

you barely have the strength to pray

in the valley low

how hard your fight has been

how deep the pain within

wounds that no one else has seen

hurts too much to show

all the doubt your standing in between

and all the weight that brings you to your knees 

He knows, He knows

Every hurt and every sting

He has walked the suffering 

He knows, He knows

Let your burdens come undone

Lift your eyes up to the One

Who knows

He knows

we may faint and we may sink

feel the pain and near the brink

but the dark begins to shrink

when you find the One who knows

the chains of doubt that held you in between

one by one starting to break free

every time that you feel forsaken

every time that you feel alone

He is near to the brokenhearted 

every tear

He knows

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. ~Psalm 147:3 (HCSB)
