it's gonna be alright, child...

it's gonna be alright, child
even through the darkest night, child
i'll even use the darkness to teach you how to hear me
it's gonna be alright now
even if you don't see how
i'll even use your failure to help you to draw near me

so hear me
i am calling
child, come falling deeper in love with me
trust me
you must let go
or you will never know any deeper love in me

it's gonna be alright here
if you will let me hold your heart near
i'll even use your sorrow
to teach you how to love me
it's gonna be alright, child
i'll hold you really close and tight, child
i'll even use your woundings
to help you know more of me

so hear me
i am calling
child, come falling deeper in love with me
just trust me
you must let go
or you will never know any deeper love in me

why do you hold onto the things of your past?
let go and cling to me and love that will last
how can you know me if you do not trust my love?
let go, you'll find my love is more than enough

oh, hear me
i am calling
child, come falling deeper in love with me
oh, trust me
you must let go
or you will never know any deeper love in me
letting go will set you free

it's gonna be alright, now
even if you can't see how
i'll even use your failure to help you to draw near me.

Dennis Jernigan came and spoke/led worship at chapel yesterday. (If you don't know him, he wrote "You are my all in all").  It was an amazing time of worship.  He sang the song that you see above... this song really touched me and I could tell it had the same effect on the other people in the room.  God knew that it was just the thing I (and many other people) needed to hear.  The song is beautiful and I hope it will touch you as much as it touched me.
