Story behind the song
I just found out the other day, that Pamela R. Hannah, my friend for over 20 years, who had cancer passed away on Christmas Eve in 2007. The shock,
to say the least, has been profound, as David, Michael and I were in Gatlinburg,
TN on that date.
She was the best friend I ever had that, in many ways,knew me better than I knew myself
...and when I discovered she had cancer, it challenged my beliefs in a way I'd
never had to face.
But my faith in the Lord is and was NOT shaken, although I don't always understand why He does what He does..He plainly states His thoughts are higher
than our thoughts, His ways are higher than our ways..and some things we are
not meant to understand, only believe that He knows best.
This song was written back in 2005 with a great deal of hope; but you know,
though she has passed away, there was no failure...as death is a type of healing...
she is out of all the pain and suffering now, and I'm still here in a world that
grows worse by the day and year.
You don't find friendships like these just anywhere, this was a once in a lifetime
friendship..I'll never know or have another friend like her.
I miss her very much.
Lyrics
When life has brought you down and leaves you shattered,
You're at the point where nothing, really matters.
You wonder if there's more,
But your back's against a door,
That just won't open.
I know someone who'll help you get the pieces,
Of your life back together, and give you reason,
To start living again,
And His help never ends,
So trust in Him.
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
You'll never be alone...
No matter what you face,
God will walk with you, anytime, anyplace.
All you need to do is call,
And just say the word.
He'll come and stand by you,
And you will win this war....
Between you and the Lord.
At times you feel that you are, really falling.
And so afraid that you will, reach the bottom.
He's watching over you,
This trial He'll bring you through,
His hands will catch you.
So many days you've had your, times of crying
But staying on your feet, 'cause you're still fighting.
Oh, He's held you when you've cried,
And He's never left your side,
Believe it's true.
(Chorus)
Bridge:
At times, the situation seems too much,
That's when He comes to bless you,
With His touch!
