when we walk through the dark

I was just listening to a CD from my time at Briercrest. It's probably one of my favourite CDs because it brings back memories of my time there. But, that's not the reason for this post.

I was stopped in the middle of what I was doing as I listened to one of the songs. The lyrics to the song just struck me. They so describe a journey many of us go through in life and one that is definitely familiar to me.

When I Walk Through the Dark
(Brad Guldemond)

When the pain seems like too much to take
When my heart can't stand another break
When the battle's wearing down on me
Stay by my side to comfort and guide me

When my feet don't know which step to take
When my heart's not sure which choice to make
When my eyes are blind to sights that lead
Help me to know You're right beside me

Hold my hand when I walk through the dark
Speak my name so I know where you are
With You close I will not wander far away
When I walk through the dark

When the clouds block out the light of day
When summer skies return to grey
When the rain pours down and I can't see
Stay by my side and come through this with me

Hold my hand when I walk through the dark
Speak my name so I know where you are
With You close I will not wander far away
When I walk through the dark

Cover me with Your love
I don't want to lose my way and give up all the good here for me
You have planned what's best for me
So I want to be faithful to You

You are here as I walk through the dark
And Your voice says, "Child, I know where you are"
With You close, I will follow the path You made
And walk on through the dark

Just a simple song declaring trust in God - even when things are dark. I don't know if you needed that reminder today, but I did.
