it's alright

it felt good to be back in church on sunday, after being absent for 2 weeks. i remembered saying a short prayer before entering the sanctuary... to be refreshed, to just meet with Hm. that morning had been a cranky one and i felt weary at the end of the week, knowing that i needed to meet with Him in the secret, quiet place and i was looking forward to worship the most, the medium that God often uses to encourage and comfort me. and He did just that.

the Ottos, an australian band visited my church and the songs they sang just brought tears to my eyes.. such heartfelt and most tenderly written lyrics. it reminded me so much of His promise and of above all, His overarching love.



it's alright
He's by my side
and He'll take good care of me

it's alright
He's on my side
and He knows
my every need

He said
O you of little faith
see the sparrows in the sky
unencumbered by the cares of the world
I feed even them
clothe the lilies in the field
how much more to Me are you worth then these?

it's alright
i'm by your side
and i'll take
good care of you

it's alright
i'm on your side
and i know
all that you go through

He said
when you're at your lowest of lows
I want you to know
I think more of you
then what you could yourself

My love is deeper than the oceans
wider then the valleys
higher than the mountain tops
I gave my Son for you

i said
You formed then fought for my heart
O Father how great thou art
i know all that You are
seems too good but it's true

You made me then saved me
love me unconditionally
Father of mine
how did You give up Your Son for me?
