Hold us together (Hope Mix). . .

I will trust in You

and know that You are with me
Forever I'll confide in You, '

cause You're the only answer that matters

There might be very few people that you can actually trust as much as you trust in a higher power. How can you rely on someone to be there fully for you when you are in your hour of need? That's the thing with trust and being able to confide in someone - having that peace of mind that you will be protected and nurtured when the situation requires. We will often need to block out the noise that threatens to consume us, overwhelm us, try to confuse us. When you can block out the noise and focus very carefully on the stillness that you need, answers will be revealed to you that you can begin to trust and know that it comes individually wrapped for you.

Even in the darkness You will be my light

Even when I'm hopeless You will be my guide

I will not be shaken, I will not be moved

Even in the chaos, I know that You're good

To be in darkness can be a dangerous place. To be without hope is a dangerous state. If you are continually subjected to experiences and situations that continue to thrust you in harm's way, it may not be that you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Instead, these are opportunities (hard to see that when you are in the thick of it) but yes, they are opportunities for growth in places of darkness, in places of hopelessness because that's when you grow the most if you allow yourself. Never allow yourself to be shaken so much that you forget who you are. Never forget the purpose you were born to fulfil. Never forget that you are not alone. even when you are on your own.

You're the keeper, protector

It is You that holds us together

When everything else fails us

It is You that holds us together

I have always felt protected when I needed to feel it the most. The times when I have felt most vulnerable has been because I needed to hurt, I needed to bleed in order to test my own ability to heal. We cannot always only hope for good things. Bad things happen to us because they are sent to us to learn. Bad situations are presented to us to allow us to test our mettle, our character and how we will rise above the challenges and threats that want to bury us, speak death into us - even when it is our own selves that self sabotages from time to time. Recognise your own pitfalls, your own shortcomings, your own foibles and weaknesses that prevent you from moving forward, moving ahead, just move.

I will trust in You

Your thoughts and plans of they are good

And I will wait on You,

I know that You will see me through

I hope that even though your faith is continually tested in all of the situations in your life, just know that you will be able to get through it all. It may never seem like it at the time, because you are so embroiled in what you are in, you cannot see out of the situation, you cannot see any respite from your trauma. Just know that these troubled times will not last for you. There are greater plans afoot where your name is spoken in rooms where you have yet to set foot. There are greater destinations in store for you, even when you can't see yourself rising out of your own bed. Remember there are those who do love you, respect you and want the best for you. Trust in those who want what is good for you. These are the gems that God sends to not only decorate our lives, but teach us about the generosity of the human spirit and what is precious in life to help hold us together. . .

God provides. . .

There's no more need to fight. . . God provides, so why do I worry about my life When you come to my rescue a thousand times Every other voice it is a lie God provides It is easy to worry about your life. It's what humans are built to do. We worry about so many things. What people think of us. How we act towards said people. We worry about things that we cannot control, things we cannot hold. We spend far too much time worrying about things that we shouldn't be worrying about. When we think that nothing can come from anything, that's when God provides, above all else. How many times have you been rescued? Did you ask to be rescued? Did you ask to be placed in those situations that required God to step in and save you? Maybe yes. Maybe no. But one thing that I've come to know is that God has never lead me to a place that I couldn't get through, that I couldn't understand why I was lead there, that I di...

Closer. . .

I was cruising down the street with my head in the sky Going nowhere fast trying to stay high oh, oh Windows down my arms are waving Oh Lord I can't feel ma face no no, no no, aye, Sister please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free Brother please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free The original version of this song is upbeat. I prefer this acoustic version as it resonates more with me, something about it going deep down in my soul (or it could just be the piano accompaniment). We might think we are heading nowhere fast because we keep comparing ourselves to our peers, our contemporaries and the timeline that we set for ourselves to complete all of our dreams and goals. We forget that life happens and things outside of our control, start to take control - and this is where the real work begins within ourselves - whether we have the right support systems of brothers and sisters to sing us songs of freedom - what can we collectively do toge...

You look so much better when you. . . I dedicate this song to recession Depression and unemployment This song's for you When you think about songs that have dedications at the beginning during the introduction, how does it contribute to the song? I often think about how those dedications speak to my own situation. We may all be going through some trials at the moment and nobody around us is none the wiser. I've often spoken about it to friends when we do that usual - how are you? The expected answer is - I'm good. But really we're not. Why do we do that to ourselves? We don't want to burden others with our problems or issues. Sometimes the flip side might be true and you have friends who dump their problems and issues onto you, but don't reciprocate. I hope people get to know you and what you're about. They need to see that they might be potentially ruining the friendship or connection by doing that. Today's a new day but th...
