With God: Never alone, never forgotten, or an afterthought!

Two posts today…I just had to share this.

I picked up a few CDs the other day (it’s weird to by music that way…most everything is from iTunes now days) – one of them was Jadon Lavik’s Life On The Inside. This CD is from 2006 and I’ll admit that I had not heard of him before…not sure how I missed his music, but this CD is GREAT!  I actually bought this without a pre-listen, since the bar code on the listening system was not working – the cover looked interesting!

Anyway – every once in a while I’ll hear a song where the lyrics hit a chord in me and I immediately press the repeat on the iPhone, letting the lyrics wash over me and just sink in (this doesn’t happen too often, but when it does – wow).  What a sweet time of worship on Monday’s drive home and today’s drive in. The song below brought to mind these promises of God:

“Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.” – Isaiah 49:15-16

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
– Jeremiah 29:11

“…in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” – John 16:33

“…for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” -Hebrews 13:5-6

Thank You Lord – Praise Your Mighty and Faithful Name!

Never Alone
Jadon lavik

This world can sometimes paint a hopeless picture
With only glimpses of what could be
But I believe these are perfect plans
By the God who will redeem
So I’m left to face the trials
All my hope is fixed on you
I’m so thankful for your spirit that guides me
In this world that I walk through

And I am never alone never forgotten or an afterthought to you
Oh and I am never alone not left to my own strength to make it to make it through

He has made with us a promise
Built on the most amazing grace
Found in the childlike surrender
Just the smallest seed of faith
Blessed assurance hopeful future
Peace to calm the mighty storm
When it seems like nobody else cares
Yes my God he will be there

And I am never alone never forgotten or an afterthought to you
Oh and I am never alone not left to my own strength to make it to make it through

And I will never have to fear my god is here right here
Spoken words of truth from the God that never fails you never fail

And I am never alone never forgotten or an afterthought to you
Oh and I am never alone not left to my own strength to make it to make it through

And I will never have to fear, you’re right here
