Beauty from Pain

This is one of those moment..... you know when God gives you not only what you need to hear, but when you hear it .... it brings you to your knees in tears.

Im going to have to talk to him about doing that when Im driving though....

By Superchick


The lights go out all around me
One last candle to keep out the night
And then the darkness surrounds me
I know i'm alive but i feel like i've died
And all that's left is to accept that it's over
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that i made
I try to keep warm but i just grow colder
I feel like i'm slipping away

After all this has passed, i still will remain
After i've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today,
Someday i'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

My whole world is the pain inside me
The best i can do is just get through the day
When life before is only a memory
I'll wonder why God lets me walk through this place
And though i can't understand why this happened
I know that i will when i look back someday
And see how you've brought beauty from ashes
And made me as gold purified through these flames

After all this has passed, i still will remain
After i've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today,
Someday i'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

Here i am, at the end of me
Tryin to hold to what i can't see
I forgot how to hope
This night's been so long
I cling to Your promise
There will be a dawn

After all this has passed, i still will remain
After i've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today,
Someday i'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

This is for you, Cynay.


How long has it been

Since you talked with the Lord

And told Him your heart's hidden secrets?

How long since you knew

That he would answer you

And would keep you the long night through?

How long has it been

Since your mind felt at ease

And you knew that your soul held no burden?

Can you call Him your friend..

How long has it been

Since you knew that He cared for you?


Love ya,



Sherry

IO you are such a blessing.

It has only been moments.... only moments.

I have had alot, well a HUGE amount of pain in the last 4 years, just one thing after another. Im not whinning but the night before I heard that song was laying awake having a chat with God about how I was feeling... I guess I was having a pitty party and only invited him.....

That song gave me such a moment of peace, I felt that he was acknowledging that I have been through alot, that I did not have to point it out to him cuz he knew.... and that he was giving me a promise. There is a reason for it all.... and I so needed that.
