On Saturday, we pray for those who have lost loved ones through death. This song below was written by a man whose family suffered an unthinkable tragedy when his 5-year-old daughter was killed in an accident involving her brother who didnt see her behind the car when he was pulling out of the driveway. Who could add words to lyrics like these? They are God-inspired and written by a man who has paid his dues through pain and heartache, yet he sings on. How many of us will do the same? It starts off: Here we stand, here we are With all our wounds and battle scars From all the storms and all the wars we’ve weathered together We had no way of knowing when We started way back there and then How the road would twist and turn and bend We just knew we belonged together And if it wasn’t for God’s mercy and His grace There’s no way we would be standing in this place But because He has been faithful Every step along the way Here we are together. Yet on the day that we pray for those who have lost loved ones, we acknowledge that some of us are not together. Many people are grieving those they love that they have lost through death or even addiction. I am acquainted with many special people who grieve daily and I pray for these brothers and sisters that the Lord, strong and powerful, yet tender and merciful will come alongside them and comfort them. Poignant to me is: And we’ve crawled on our hands and knees Through valleys cold and dark and deep Sometimes not even sure if we could make it out alive together. And if it wasn’t for God’s mercy and His grace There’s no way we would be standing in this place But because He has been faithful Every step along the way Here we are together, together. I am so grateful that the Lord allows people to take the pain that they have suffered in life and create a beautiful song of hope to heal the brokenhearted. That is my prayer for today, hearts be healed, families by restored, and sweet comfort be given. Today!
