Cool lyrics

I came across a song this morning while contemplating what I was going to write about for Day 2 in my "30 day" blog challenge. While this may not be my particular taste in music, I love the lyrics! I never heard of Erik Hassle, but then...I'm "over the hill". It's called "Bump in the Road" (apropos, don'tcha think?)

We all must go through it sometime
You were not the first, you know
You stick your head in the sunshine
Don't expect the worst, though
If a bird can sing with a broken wing
You'll learn to bend when the wind blows
The leaves may fall, but the trees stay tall
This is a bump in the road
Don't give up, you will make it
Don't give up, you will make it
We all must go through it sometime
You were not the first, you know
Love got more hooks than a fish line
Believe it hurts, oh-ooh
If a bird can sing with a broken wing
You'll learn to bend when the wind blows
The leaves may fall, but the trees stay tall
This is a bump in the road
Don't give up, you will make it
Don't give up, you will make it
Out of the dark
Into the light
Over the edge
Over your life

I had a "spell" last evening...started to worry about not being able to find a job, how to pay the bills, blah, blah, blah. Have you ever gotten really tired of YOU? Man, the saying "wherever you go, there you are" is so true. Obviously Jesus knew this, since He tells us so many times NOT TO WORRY. I'm glad I have many wonderful resources to help kick me in the pants when I "go there".  My husband is an encourager; sometimes I really don't want to hear it even though I know he's right. Some days I just get tired of stubbing my toes on the "bumps in the road". But He is my hope!

"When you pass through the waters,

I will be with you;

and when you pass through the rivers,

they will not sweep over you."

"When you walk through the fire,

you will not be burned;

The flames will not set you ablaze."

For I am the Lord, your God,

the Holy One of Israel, your Savior...

Isaiah 43:2-3

We're gonna have bumps in the road, but He will be with us always. Ahhhhhh.
