Hold On (Love Will Find You)

Yeah, I know I post alot about being down and out and being lonely. And I also know that I post alot about my Christian faith. One thing I want to make clear is this: Being Christian makes me no less human. I still make mistakes, frequently. I still feel pain and hurt and loneliness...

...and all those things can, like the reverse, be a very real force in my life. That's why, even when I'm frustrated with my church, I still end up going each Sunday. And this set of song lyrics I'm about to post is the reason that I keep going to the same church, despite its faults. And after all, the church, like all else in this world, is made of humans just like you and me.

And I know for sure I'm not going to find alot of churches who have the nerve to use songs like this in a Sunday morning church service. This song is powerful. And it really relates what I truly, deep inside, believe, no matter how I might try to deny it.

Hold On
(Nichole Nordeman)
For Meredith and all I wish I'd said)

It will find you at the bottom of a bottle
It will find you at the needle's end
It will find you when you beg and steal and borrow
It will follow you into a stranger's bed

It will find you when they serve you with the papers
It will find you when the locks have changed again
It will find you when you've called in all your favors
It will meet you at the bridge's highest ledge

So baby don't look down, it's a long way
The sun will come around to a new day

So hold on
Love will find you
Hold on
He's right behind you now
Just turn around
And love will find you

It will find you when the doctor's head is shaking
It will find you in a boardroom, mostly dead
It will crawl into the foxhole where you're praying
It will curl up in your halfway empty bed

So baby don't believe that it's over
Maybe you can't see 'round the corner?

To hang between two thieves in the darkness
Love must believe you are worth it
