“The hour is dark
And it’s hard to see
What You are doin’ here in the ruins
And where this will lead
Oh, but I know
That down through the years
I’ll look on this moment and see Your hand on it
And know You were here
And I’ll testify of the battles You’ve won
How You were my portion when there wasn’t enough
And I’ll testify of the seas that we’ve crossed
The waters You parted, the waves that I’ve walked
Singing, oh-oh-oh, my God did not fail (Yeah)
Oh-oh-oh, it’s the story I’ll tell
Singing, oh-oh-oh, I know it is well
Oh-oh-oh, it’s the story I’ll tell”
-The Story I’ll Tell by Maverick City Music
These words have been running nonstop through my mind for a few weeks.
It is so hard to see what Father is doing when you are in the middle of a mess. A mess can be overwhelming and distracting but this song has been reminding me that He is with me in the mess. He’s never left me. He is my portion when there isn’t enough. It’s His promise found throughout scripture– He’ll never leave, never!
And oh, what a story we will be able to tell when it is finished!! We know our God will be victorious.
If you look, you will see the light at the end of the tunnel.
He is the light. Look to Him.
-Mary Elizabeth A.
