"We Carry On..." Song for a Sunday, and every other day!

7/2/2017

For my friends and their friends...
​
who are carrying heavy loads that they didn't necessarily choose, 
who can't see the end from here,
who can't imagine a good outcome to their present situation,
who have exhausted their resources for this day, this month, this season of their lives but still have miles to go before they sleep,
who don't know what's next,
who are waiting for the dawn... 

We Carry On
(group - For a Season)
Faith wasn't meant, meant for the faint of heart
This road that we walk will take us through canyons so dark,
Haunted by fear and the shadows that wait up ahead.
We don't know what's next, 
Still we take that step - 

We carry on, 
​though the night it feels so long, 
this is the hope that keeps us strong-
We know the One who breaks the dawn. 
We carry on.

There will come days, days we feel paralyzed.
And the lies are so loud, stealing our will to try.
But there's peace in our hearts, knowing You're faithful and true.
Don't know what else to do - we fix our eyes on You.
​

We carry on, 
​though the night it feels so long, 
this is the hope that keeps us strong-
We know the One who breaks the dawn. 


We carry on, 
when we feel our strength is gone,
Out of darkness comes a song, 
We know the One who breaks the dawn. 

We carry on. 

In Your handsYou hold all that we still call unknown,
Through the highs and the lows,
Lord we know we're not alone. 

We carry on, 
​though the night it feels so long, 
this is the hope that keeps us strong-
We know the One who breaks the dawn. 


We carry on, 
when we feel our strength is gone,
Out of darkness comes a song, 
We know the One who breaks the dawn. 

We carry on, 
We carry on,
We carry on.

Out of darkness comes a song - we know the One who breaks the dawn...we carry on.

    I'm finding my way beyond the maze of the "middle" years
    (if I'm gonna be 100 and something someday...) 
    ​living life as a country woman who is a
     writer, gardener, wife, mom,  nature observer,  teacher,and most of all a much loved child of God.
