Music has always been very healing to me. It has a way of speaking to me in the deep places of my heart and soul and I consider it to be one of God’s greatest gifts to us. I have several friends who have sent me songs over these last 3 weeks and they have been so soothing to me. The lyrics are filled with truth and hope and the Holy Spirit uses them to keep me focused on my Savior and His love and care for me as opposed to the places my mind tries to make me go.

My mom sent me this song this morning. It’s one I’ve heard before but this was the first time I’ve listened to it since Justin died. As I posted a few days after his death, there are so many things I don’t know right now. I don’t know how to maneuver this life without the person who’s been by my side for over 30 years. So I have to focus on what I do know. And I know my God. He has been by my side for the whole of my life, even before I knew Him as my Lord, and I do not for one second have to worry that He will not be here now. Read the lyrics of this song and see if it doesn’t also bring you comfort and security, knowing this is the God we have on our side.

I KNOW by Big Daddy Weave

You don’t answer all my questions but You hear me when I speak
You don’t keep my heart from breakin’ but when it does, You weep with me
You’re so close that I can feel You when I’ve lost the words to pray
And though my eyes have never seen You I’ve seen enough to say

I know that You are good I know that You are kind
I know that You are so much more than what I leave behind
I know that I am loved I know that I am safe
‘Cause even in the fire to live is Christ, to die is gain
I know that You are good

I don’t understand the sorrow but You’re calm within the storm
Sometime this weight is overwhelming but I don’t carry it alone
You’re still close when I can’t feel You I don’t have to be afraid
And though my eyes have never seen You I’ve seen enough to say

On my darkest day, from my deepest pain
Through it all, my heart, will choose to sing Your praise
