You Are Not Alone

I'll never forget the moment. It was shortly after my husband had left our home. I was still reeling from shock, anger, bitterness, and insecurity. 

My sons and I attended church together that morning. Even though I was surrounded by people, and even though my sons book-ended me with loving protection despite their own pain, I felt so alone.

As the worship team began singing the following words, an overwhelming feeling of love washed over me. I wept, and wept, and wept right there in church.

Every single word in these lyrics spoke to me. This is me. This is my life. And I am not alone. 

If you're going through a difficult season in your life and you're feeling all alone, I urge you to listen to this song. 

Close your eyes. Savor every single reassuring word. Let the message comfort you. Then listen to it again.

When I walk through deep waters

I know that You will be with me

When I'm standing in the fire

I will not be overcome

Through the valley of the shadow

I will not fear

I am not alone

I am not alone

You will go before me

You will never leave me

In the midst of deep sorrow

I see Your light is breaking through

The dark of night will not overtake me

I am pressing into You

Lord, You fight my every battle

And I will not fear

You amaze me

Redeem me

You call me as Your own

You're my strength

You're my defender

You're my refuge in the storm

Through these trials

You've always been faithful

You bring healing to my soul

Until next time...
