Same All the Time

There are times in our lives
When nothing seems stable
Everything around us waivers with change
But my God is alive and He makes me able
When every single ounce of my strength has waned
Though disappointment takes it's toll
My faith's foundation holds
To everything I've heard in His Word

'Cause I know that
Sometimes the things that we think are for sure
Fade like the ending of days
Sometimes the things that we think are secure
Pass away
I know that sometimes the things that we seek and we find
Break both our hearts and our minds
But Lord You are the same
The same all the time

There are promises sure our Father has made to us
That He swore to us would never be changed
If we simply endure, obey and learn to trust
We will be repaid for all of our pain
Though sometimes sorrows pierce our soul
My Jesus will console
Every aching heart, torn apart

'Cause I know that
Sometimes the things that we think are for sure
Fade like the ending of days
Sometimes the things that we think are secure
Pass away
I know that sometimes the things that we seek and we find
Break both our hearts and our minds
But Lord You are the same
The same all the time

I was listening to this song tonight. I hadn't listened to it in several years. I remember crying whenever I would listen to this because it seemed to describe my situation so accurately. I so desperately wanted to find the consolation that only Jesus Christ can give, but I didn't think it would be possible because the pain seemed so much greater than any possible consolation

I was wrong.

Sometimes you have to go through having the bottom fall out, to discover that underneath are the Everlasting Arms.

They were always there, and they will always be there.
