Sometimes I get so weighted down in me, in circumstance, in the death that clings to so much of this world that I forget that my God is bigger. That He has seen everything before. Nothing is new to Him. That my life, that the world I see, He has always seen it. And that there is life more powerful than death. And that as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, that my God is with me. And times like these, I thank God for giving me life abundantly with such seemingly small blessings like Itunes, like repeat buttons, like music full of His promises at my fingertips, constant reminders that He never changes. That He has already overcome. And that He loves me. He is on my side. He fights for me.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I’m caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won’t turn back
I know you are near

And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?

Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me

And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We’ll live to know You here on the earth

Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You
still I will praise You
