Even if

Music has been such a balm for my heart. One of my favorites right now is "Even if" by Mercy Me.  "Even if you don't, My hope is you alone. Oh give me the strength to be able to sing, It is well with my soul." We prayed so hard on the day that Josh died for the doctors and God to save Josh. And yet, he died. Grief has made me realize how much faith is so much a decision, a resolution to love and honor God no matter the circumstances, no matter the pain, no matter the joy. To seek him with all my heart, mind and soul for comfort, peace, and care no matter what storm and pain life brings. For to Christ alone I look for all hope.

It's easy to sing
When there's nothing to bring me down
But what will I say
When I'm held to the flame
Like I am right now
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
They say it only takes a little faith
To move a mountain
Well good thing
A little faith is all I have, right now
But God, when You choose
To leave mountains unmovable
Oh give me the strength to be able to sing
It is well with my soul
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
I know the sorrow, and I know the hurt
Would all go away if You'd just say the word
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
You've been faithful, You've been good
All of my days
Jesus, I will cling to You
Come what may
‘Cause I know You're able
I know You can
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
I know the sorrow, I know the hurt
Would all go away if You'd just say the word
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

  2. Also, do you know the song "I Have this Hope" by Tenth Avenue North? I heard it the other day and thought of you. In this madness and pain, you have hope in the depths of your soul, you have a God who won't let go.
