Disclaimer: I don’t own this song, I’m just a fan. As some of you have already heard, ten years ago my Mom suggested that I sing this song for church sometime. I responded with an emphatic, “No Way”. I wasn’t ready. I was too shy and cited arguably many reasons why I didn’t want to and shouldn’t. Several months later, my Mom was diagnosed with cancer and three weeks later she was gone—and I regretted being afraid and saying no so readily, and I also ended up singing it at her funeral. 10 Years Later and this song has become a major theme in my life. While I don’t sing it often, I do reflect on the words that have continually helped me to live life with the sure and steadfast hope that God is not absent and disinterested. As anyone who is acquainted with grief will tell you, whether it is someone close being gone, dreams dying, expectations shattered, relationships gone bust, or even all of the above and more, there are many many many difficult nights and days going through the pain and not running from it. Yet through all of that I’ve come to the conclusion that He is good. He is enough for me to deal with the pain of the past, the problems of the present, and whatever may come in the future. And…there is and will always be joy in the midst of it too. This I believe, therefore, I have hope. So enjoy, feel free to message me if you have questions or comments, And Expect a Miracle.

We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things
