This is what I cling to...

I don't have any special words today - I'm sorry for that...

I chose this song for today's Music Monday because it speaks to my heart, through the grief.

Always ~ Building 429

Lyrics

I was standing in the pour raining
One dark November night
Fighting off the bitter cold
When she caught my eye
Her face was torn and her eyes were filled
And then to my surprise
She pulled out a photograph
And my heart just stopped inside
She said He would have been three today
I miss his smile, I miss his face
What was I supposed to say

But I believe always always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all hope is gone
God knows our pain and His promise remains
He will be with you always

He was living in a broken world dreaming of a home
His heart was barely keeping pace
When I found him all alone
Remembering the way he felt
When his daddy said goodbye
Fighting just to keep the tears
And the anger locked inside
He's barely holding on to faith
But deliverance is on its way

'Cuz I believe always always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all hope is gone
God knows our pain and His promise remains
He will be with you always

Friend I don't know where you are
And I don't know where you've been
Maybe you're fighting for your life
Or just about to throw the towel in
But if you're crying out for mercy
If there's no hope left at all
If you've given everything you've got
And you're still about to fall
Well hold on, hold on, hold on

Cuz I believe always always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all faith is gone
God knows our pain and His promise remains
Always, Always
He will be with you always
He will be with you always
He will be with you


My Sweet Hubby and I saw Building 429 in concert years ago when they opened for Casting Crowns. We were front row center...and Building 429 was *loud!* From that night on, my Sweet Hubby was adamant that they were responsible for his hearing loss! That concert is a precious memory...

"Do not forsake me, O Lord; O my God, do not be far from me!" Psalm 38:21

God is always holding our hand no matter what. Praying for you today.

What a beautiful song gigi that is the first time i have ever heard that one. I know that it is really hard to hang on with only our faith, but in the end the reward will be great. In the meantime God please give gigi as well as each one of us the strength to hang on with our faith in the power of your Holy Spirit until the very end.

love you sister :)

Very touching song, Gigi. I don't believe I've heard it on the radio. It's hard sometimes to see God's plan, when things around us seem to fall apart. But in the end, you'll be glad you held on to Him. :)
