God Understands

Another post from the archives of the Barnabas Blog for the 6th day of February: 

Several weeks ago the Lord gave me the melody to a song as I drove home from Toronto.  I couldn't wait to get to my mother's home to play it on the piano to "lock" the tune into my mind.

A few days later these words came to me. I trust they will be a blessing to you. Come and hear me perform in Carnegie Hall in New York City to hear the melody. Dream along, David!
 

Here are the words and, as you read them, remember that God really does understand the circumstances and nuances of our complicated lives.

GOD UNDERSTANDS

Have you been struggling? No peace can you find

Life is so barren and dry

Darkness surrounds you and friends seem to fail

Clouds always cover your sky.

Chorus:

Hold to His hand,

He’ll understand

He’ll be your refuge and strength

When all around you brings heartache and pain

God will restore and sustain.

He’ll give you joy once again. (after 3rd verse)

When you’ve decided that life is too hard

Worry and fear brought you down

Lift up your eyes to the Savior, my friend

He always cares for His own.

When clouds have lifted and sunshine breaks through

Darkness and gloom pushed aside

You can point others to this Friend divine

And in His arms safely hide.
