Always

More soul-crushing news from the adoption agency today. Another delay. More waiting. More uncertainty. All I want to do is fall apart...curl into a little ball...cry my eyes out...hide from the world. Though I'm not feeling it right now, I know the words to this song by Kristian Stanfill are true, and I'm holding onto them tonight. For now, this is my prayer and my lifeline.

My foes are many, they rise against me
But I will hold my ground
I will not fear the war, I will not fear the storm
My help is on the way, my help is on the way


Oh my God, He will not delay
My refuge and strength always
I will not fear, His promise is true
My God will come through always
Always

Trouble surrounds me, chaos abounding
But my soul will rest in You
I will not fear the war, I will not fear the storm
My help is on the way, my help is on the way


Oh my God, He will not delay
My refuge and strength always
I will not fear, His promise is true
My God will come through always
Always


I life my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord...
