Our Song

God and I have a song.

I heard this for the first time on the radio a couple weeks ago when I was discouraged and felt very alone. These lyrics describe so much of what I've been through and experienced over the past 2 years. So it was deeply meaningful to me to have the Lord single out a song to communicate His love for me. And the funny thing is that several times since that day, when I've felt unloved or alone, I'll pour out my heart to the Lord. Then I'll turn on the radio and guess which song is playing? Ha! That's right. So here it is -- the lyrics to our song:


"You're Not Alone"


by Meredith Andrews


I searched for love,
When the night came and it closed in
I was alone,
But you found me where I was hiding.
And now I'll never, ever be the same,
It was the sweetest voice that called my name,
Saying,


"You're not alone, for I am here.
Let Me wipe away your every fear.
My love, I've never left your side.
I have seen you through the darkest night.
And I'm the One who's loved you all your life,
All of your life.


You cry yourself to sleep,
'Cause the hurt is real and the pain cuts deep.
All hope seems lost
With heartache your closest friend, and everyone else long gone.
You've had to face the music on your own,
But there is a sweeter song that calls you home,
Saying,


"You're not alone, for I am here.
Let Me wipe away your every tear.
My love, I've never left your side,
I have seen you through the darkest night.
And I'm the One who's loved you all your life.
All your life, Faithful and True forever,
My love will carry you.


You're not alone, for I am here.
Let Me wipe away your every fear.
My love, I've never left your side.
I have seen you through the darkest night,
Your darkest night.
And I'm the One who's loved you all your life,
All of your life."
