My life has been a mix of intense personal trial and joy all at the same time. tonight at church we sang a song that reflected so much of what I have been doing, or trying to do, which is lifting my eyes to my God at the foot of a mountain I cannot climb on my own, clinging to a healer and comforter, to God who knows me and my thoughts, feelings and my life. He does not and will not desert me despite my failings and experiances-Praise Him!
The strength that I draw to get through any trial or joy is by continually fixing my eyes on my Lord and Savior. I hope you enjoy and relate to the lyrics just as I did. My friends, remember as His beloved son or daughter we are held in the arms of the One who holds the world in the palm of his hand. May I encourage you to repose, to rest, in the promise of His love, His strength, power. Please don't go through life thinking that he doesn't want a relationship with you because He does. He wants for you and me to lift our eyes to Him and seek Him out, to shout to Him, not only in the midst of trial but also for daily life-the good and not so good as he is the Calmer of the storms of life.
P.S. I hope to be able to get the video of this song by Bebo Norman up soon also.

I Will Lift My Eyes-Bebo Norman
God, my God, I cry out
Your beloved needs You now
God, be near, calm my fear
And take my doubt
Your kindness is what pulls me up
Your love is all that draws me in
I will lift my eyes to the Maker
Of the mountains I can't climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer
Of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer
Of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You
God, my God, let Mercy sing
Her melody over me
God, right here all I bring
Is all of me
Your kindness is what pulls me up
Your love is all that draws me in
I will lift my eyes to the Maker
Of the mountains I can't climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer
Of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer
Of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You
'Cause You are and You were and You will be forever
The Lover I need to save me
'Cause you fashioned the earth and You hold it together, God
So hold me now
I will lift my eyes to the Maker
Of the mountains I can't climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer
Of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer
Of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You
God, my God, I cry out
Your beloved needs you now.
