I'm With You

~Nichole Noordeman and Amy Grant

I’m With You

~Nichole Nordeman & Amy Grant

Love is a hurricane in a blue sky
I didn’t see it coming, never knew why
All the laughter and the dreams
All the memories in between
Washed away in a steady stream

Love is a hunger; a famine in your soul
I thought I planted beauty, but it would never grow.
Now I’m on my hands and knees
trying to gather up my dreams
trying to hold on to anything

And we could shake a fist in times like this
When we don’t understand
Or we could just hold hands

You and me, me and you
Where you go I’ll go too
I’m with you, I’m with you
Until your heart, finds a home
I won’t let you feel alone
I’m with you, I’m with you, with you

You do your best to build a higher wall
To keep love safe from any wrecking ball
When the dust has cleared, we will
See the house that Love rebuilds
Guarding beauty that lives here still

It’s you and me, me and you
Where you go I’ll go too
I’m with you, I’m with you.
Until your heart, finds a home
I won’t let you feel alone
I’m with you, I’m with you.

Who can say I’m left with nothing
When I have all of you, all of you, yeah?
In the way you’ve always loved me,
I remember: He does too!

It's you and me, me and you
Where you go I’ll go too
I’m with you, I’m with you.
Until your heart, finds a home,
I won’t let you feel alone;
I’m with you, I’m with you.
(We’re gonna make it through)

You and me, me and you
Where you go I’ll go too
I’m with you, I’m with you.
Until your heart, finds a home
I won’t let you feel alone
I’m with you, I’m with you,

With you.

Saturday's Sayings

Companionship in Grief

What I Have Learned

I`ve learned that you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I`ve learned that learning to forgive takes a lot of practice.

I`ve learned that friends may become strangers, and strangers become friends.

I`ve learned that ignorance isn't an excuse for lack of compassion.

I`ve learned that some people will never, ever, "get it".

I`ve learned that the community of sorrow is the strongest of all.

I`ve learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I`ve learned that your life can be changed in a matter of minutes.

I`ve learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you ever see them.

I`ve learned that love isn't measured by the amount of time you have with someone.

~Thank you, Pearl, for sharing this!

Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.

God is closest to those with broken hearts.

Walk With Me

Walk with me…

Walk in my shoes

for one single day.

Then you’ll see why

I need to pray.

Come live in my home

for a week or two

and then remember

I am just like you.

I didn’t ask for the things I was given

I didn’t choose this road I have taken

Walk a mile with me hand in hand

Then perhaps you will understand.

I’m not really complaining

about the stress in my life,

I know that we all have

some toil and some strife.

But walk with me, when you think

I am wrong, walk with me

and you’ll start to belong.

Embrace my sorrows,

like they are your own,

And then you will know me

And see I have grown.

The journey I take

is different from yours

My life took one of those

unexpected detours,

But this road that I travel

is not really so long,

If the people who watch me

will join in my song.

Listen to my footsteps

and watch how I dance

And then you will know me

and give me a chance.

Take heart and remember

It can happen to you,

who knows where my pathway

will cross over to you?

So speak to me softly

if you can’t understand

Remember I once stood

right there where you stand.

And walk with me gently

when the day is at end.

And then I will know

I can call you my friend.
