Always

I heard this song this morning called "Always" by Building 429. It really put some things in perspective about a friend who is going through some terrible circumstances. It is something I never want to go through or could not even imagine having to go through something as terrible as what she is going through. It just reminds me of how thankful I am for my family and friends. I am also thankful for all the people that are helping her through this ordeal. Through this experience I feel like the faith of my friend has really been an inspiration to others through her contacts with the doctors, nurses, co-workers, friends, etc. God has given her much needed strength in this journey, that no mother should ever have to experience. I praise you Jesus in this storm.
Building 429 - AlwaysFrom the album Building 429

I was standing in the pouring rain one dark November night
Fighting off the bitter cold when she caught my eye
Her face was taught and her eyes were filled, and to my surprise
She pulled out a photograph and my heart just stopped inside
She said, "He would've been three today
I miss his smile, I miss his face"
What was I supposed to say, but
CHORUS
I believe always, always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all hope is gone
God knows our pain and his promise remains
He will be with you always
He was living in a broken world, dreaming of a home
His heart was barely keeping pace when I found him all alone
Remembering the way he felt when his daddy said goodbye
Fighting just to keep the tears and the anger locked inside
He's barely holding onto faith
But deliverance is on its way, cause
CHORUS
I believe always, always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all hope is gone
God knows our pain and his promise remains
He will be with you always
Friend, I don't know where you are and I don't know where you've been
Maybe you're fighting for your life or just about to throw the towel in
But if you're crying out for mercy, if there's no hope left at all
If you've given everything you've got and you're still about to fall
Well hold on, hold on, hold on, cause I believe always, always
Our savior never fails
Even when all faith is gone
God knows our pain and his promise remains
Always, always,
He will be with you always
