A Sister sent this to me yesterday knowing I would like the song, the singer, the violinist, and the deep truth of it. She and her Sisters had used it at an anointing for one of theirs who was having surgery later on that day. I admit I began crying the moment I heard the first words and continued throughout. This is what it is like to know and be known by God in Christ; it is what it is like to have a Director who lives from that same relationship and embodies the truth of it in her own life and work. It is the reason I can be a hermit and insist solitude is not isolation or do the deep inner work I have done over the past three years. It is the reason I can truly be myself and live ever more fully the life God gives me. He is always there for me; to come to know this deeply and unshakeably is such a tremendous grace! Thanks be to God! (The lyrics are also included below.)
Always There
And I just can't face the day
When darkness falls around me
And I just can't find my way
And I stumble through it all
You, I lean upon, you keep me strong
And you rise me when I fall
You are there so constantly
You come shining through, you always do
You are always there for me
When my back's against the wall
You are standing there right with me
Just to keep me standing tall
You don't weary, you don't rest
You are reaching out to carry me
And I know I'm heaven blessed
You are there so constantly
You come shining through, you always do
You are always there for me
You are there so constantly
You come shining through, you always do
You are always there for me
There so constantly
You come shining through, you always do
You are always there for me
