Here With Me (Acoustic) - Phil Wickham

It's been a long time since I've written a blog. I've not made this a priority, and I can tell that my own mental health is suffering because of it. So here's to self care/soul care or whatever you want to call it... because for sure listening to new worship music and reflecting on it is good for me, and not something I've done a good job of doing. This feels like a fitting song for that.

    When darkness deepens, the path unsure
    The sun is hidden by the storms

The last few years journeying through the conflict and tension of covid have felt like this for me. A darkness surrounding, the sun hidden. What do you do when this happens? Where do you turn?

    I look to heaven and cry to thee
    Oh God, be here with me

So much of covid involves isolation. Isolation as a family when we were in lock down. Isolation from someone in the family when they have tested positive. Isolation from extended family due to not travelling, or not wanting to risk getting someone else sick. How do we combat that isolation? How do we know we are not alone. Oh God, be here with me.

    In every breath, every joy and tear
    Every passing hour, let me know You're near
    In life, in death, for eternity
    Oh God, be here with me

Today I make this my prayer - that in every breath, every joy and tear I would know He is near. I am not alone. Oh God, be here with me.


When darkness deepens, the path unsure
The sun is hidden by the storms
I look to heaven and cry to thee
Oh God, be here with me

In every breath, every joy and tear
Every passing hour, let me know You're near
In life, in death, for eternity
Oh God, be here with me

When faith is shaken, when fear surround
My feet will stand on solid ground
In every season, my song will be
Oh God, be here with me

And in that moment we're face to face
I will not need these eyes of faith
Forever after, God I will see that
You've always been with me
Oh, You've always always been with me
