My God is Faithful

I am currently taking an evangelism and discipleship course here at Gordon. One of the assignments for that course is to take a 48 hour spiritual retreat, during which you spend intentional time with God and disconnect from everyone else. I did my retreat this past weekend. I wanted to share with all of you something that came out of that time spent in close communion with God. He inspired me to write a song, something I have never done in my life. This song is extremely personal and tells of the tragedy I experienced in Spain. Here are the lyrics and below is a recording of me singing the song.

Crack on the pavement,

I didn't know 

Until I heard her screaming, 

Antonio! 

My stomach drops, 

I run down the stairs 

As Dioni's screams

Echo through the air

Come around the corner 

I see him there

How did this happen?

He'd grabbed a chair

I'm so confused 

What do I do?

Fear not my child

I'll see you through

My God was there

His arms were around me 

And He provided 

Strength within tragedy

Que quieres hacer?

How should I know?

Conoces alguien?

I think so...

Thanks to the body

of Christ that day

I had support 

and a place to stay. 

My God was there

His arms were around me

and He provided 

Strength within tragedy

My God is faithful 

He's still here with me 

and He's providing 

Healing in tragedy

So now I'm home

Broken and bruised

He's making something new 

That He can use...

If anyone knows how to put this to music, please let me know! And thanks for listening to a piece of my healing process.
