No Matter What

Life does not turn out for most of us exactly as we would have planned it. Honestly, I would have imagined some things differently with my own life, had it been my way. As Christians we know God's holy will for our lives is the absolute best, but that does not mean we do not struggle with grieving as we let go of the life we once planned for ourselves. I love the song "No Matter What" by Kerrie Roberts for so many reasons, not the least of which is that I identify on a very personal level. I hope you will too. I definitely suggest you listen to it and watch an amazing music video (click here) if you have a spare moment! Here are the beautifully raw lyrics.

Lyrics:

I’m running back to your promises one more time,
Lord that’s all I can hold on to.
I gotta say this has taken me by surprise,
but nothing surprises you.
Before a heartache can ever touch my life,
it has to go through your hands,
and even though I, I keep asking why, I keep asking why,

No matter what, I’m gonna love you,
no matter what I’m gonna need you,
I know that you can find a way to keep me from the pain
but if not, if not, I’ll trust you...no matter what, no matter what.

When I’m stuck in this nothing-ness by myself,
I’m just sitting in silence.
There’s no way I can make it without your help,
I wont even try it.
I know you have your reasons for everything,
so I will keep believing.
Whatever I might be feeling,
God you are my hope, and you'll be my strength.

Anything I don’t have you can give it to me,
but it’s ok if You don’t.
I’m not here for those things,
the touch of your love is enough on its own,
no matter what I still love you and I’m gonna need you.
