Songs and my Savior

My heart responds to music. The same great council given without the beautiful instruments and piano in the background, just isn't the same. As I have been pleading for answers. Begging for someone, somewhere, to bend down and grab my hand and pull me from this despair encircling me.

How ironically that my Savior would provide answer after answer, via Pandora music station. For hours on end, each song spoke directly to my heart. The order, the lyrics, the beautiful music, contained one sweet message after the next. The messages were definitely from the divine Savior.

As one of my favorite songs from Josh Groban played, tears fell. My Savior assured me that the hurt I feel, the weakness in my life, the need for help, is ok. Because all those emotions. All the feelings of loneliness and emptiness and heartaches, each moment of misery, those feelings drive me closer to my Savior.

Josh Groban --You raise me up

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be

There is no life - no life without it's hunger
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly
But when you come and I am filled with wonder
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be

 Then one of my favorite songs from Hilary Weeks came on with these beautiful lyrics.
He'll Carry You Lyrics

He knows your heart
He knows your pain
He knows the strength it took just too simply breathe today
He sees the tears that you cry
He knows your soul is aching to know why
He hears your prayers each humble word
When you said you couldn't face another day he understood
He knows the path that you will find
Though you felt alone he's never left your side

Chorus:
He knew there'd be moments when no earthly words
Could take away your sorrow
And no human eyes could see what you're going through
When you've taken your last step and done all that you can do
He will lift your heavy load and carry you

He'll bring you peace and leave you hope
And in the darkest night he'll comfort you
Until you know the sun will rise and each new day
You will have the strength to live again

Chorus:
And when there are moments when no earthly words
can take away your sorrow
And no human eyes could see what you're going through
When you've taken your last step and done all that you can do
He will lift your heavy load and carry you

He hears you when you're crying in the night
He hears you when your soul longs to find
Till the morning will come
And the light of the dawn reassures

Chorus:
That in the moments when no earthly words
can take away your sorrow
And no human eyes could see what you're going through
When you've taken your last step and done all that you can do
He will lift your heavy load and carry you
