Believe

Well on the way to work this morning, the first song I turned on really brightened my day; partially because I am IN LOVE with Stephen Curtis Chapman, and partly cuz the song I heard just made me feel happy. Plus Mac Powell has THE best voice EVER =]

It's funny how music can really affect my mood. I think it's because it's like these singers/songwriters are able to put what I am feeling into words better than I ever could.

This is evidenced by the fact most of the time people (especially my old therapist) are like 'How are you today?' and I'm like 'I don't know...' Haha. I seriously don't know how I would survive without music.

Seriously, it's what keeps me from going insane at work, or when I was in high school doing 14 chapters worth of book notes for Mrs. Hejl over Christmas Break (grumble, grumble).

"Believe Me Now" - Stephen Curtis Chapman
I watch you looking out
Across the raging water
So sure your only hope
Lies on the other side
You hear the enemy
That's closing in around you
And I know
That you don't have the strength to fight
But do you
Have the faith to stand?
And...

[Chorus:]
Believe Me now
Believe Me here
Remember all the times I've told you loud and clear
I am with you and I am for you
So believe Me now
Believe Me now

I am the One who waved my hand
And split the ocean
I am the One who spoke the words
And raised the dead
And I've loved you long before
I set the world in motion
I know all the fears you're feeling now
But do you remember who I am?
Do you...

[Chorus:]
So believe Me now
Believe it's true
I never have, I never will abandon you
And the God that I have always been
I will forever be
So believe Me now

I am the God who never wastes a single hurt
That you endure
My words are true
And all My promises are sure
So believe me now
Oh, believe me now
