I Can Relate...

A month or so ago, I prebought the new Barlow Girl CD. I picked it up today on my lunch, and by the end of the second song, I was about in tears. With everything that happened in my life over the past few years, I started slipping away from Christ. While everything is not yet back to the way it should be, I've come a long way and the following lyrics from their new CD really describe where I'm at right now....

I Believe in Love

How long will my prayers seem unanswered

Is there still faith in me to reach the end

I'm feeling doubt I'm losing faith

But giving up would cost me everything

So I'll stand in the pain and the slience

And I'll speak to the dark night

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining

I believe in love even when I don't feel it

And I believe in God even when He is silent

And I. I believe

Though I can't see my stories ending

That doesn't mean the dark night has no end

It's only here that I find faith

And learn to trust the one who writes my days

So I'll stand in the pain and the silence

And I'll speak to the dark night

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining

I believe in love even when I don't feel it

And I believe in God even when he is not silent

And I. I believe

No dark can consume Light

No death greater than this life

We are not forgotten

Hope is found when we say

Even when he is silent

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining

I believe in love even when i don't feel it

And I believe in God even when he is silent

And I. I Believe.
