Everything Falls

On the night that Christopher was born a friend brought me a CD with instructions to listen to track 5. After everyone left we popped it in and became entranced by the words of the song that seemed to pull our thoughts out of our heads and pinpoint how we were feeling. I cannot find words that better describe God's providence for us in this time. We listened again on our way home from the hospital. And again on our way to the funeral home, (and again and again...) each time it just brought so much comfort. A while later, I was having a rough day and really wanted to hear the music, but the CD had found a home in Craig's truck and was at work with him. A little disappointed, I turned on my computer to check my e-mail. Lo and behold, another friend sent me a link to the same song on facebook with a note that said that she had been listening to some music and wanted to share it with me.

Here are the lyrics to Everything Falls by Fee:

You said, You'd never leave or forsake me
When You said, this life is gonna shake me
And you said this world is gonna bring trouble on my soul
This I know

Chorus:
When everything falls apart Your arms hold me together
When everything falls apart You're the only hope for this heart
When everything falls apart and my strength is gone
I find You mighty and strong, You keep holding on
You keep holding on.

When I see the darkness all around me
and I see that tragedy has found me
I still believe Your faithful arms will never let me go
and still I know

CHORUS

Sorrow will last for the night
but hope is rising with the sun, it's rising with the sun
There will be storms in this life
But I know You will overcome, You have overcome.

CHORUS X 2.

I simply cannot state it any better...
