Remind me You’re here

Every so often, a song comes along that perfectly captures how I am feeling. Jason Gray is one of my favorite song writers and singers who tells ‘our’ story so eloquently and transparently.

I had been trying to express to a loved one going through a hard time why I have stopped asking why when I face a diffcult situation or season.

Because being held, not knowing all the answers, is my priority when life is hard. Knowing God is walking beside me makes all the difference for me.

May this song bless you too as you seek His presence this Christmas.

🎶REMIND ME YOU’RE HERE – Jason Gray

“None of my pain has ever caught You by surprise.
Still, it’s hard to trust You when I’m lost in the wonderin’ why.
But I’ll trade every question just to lay down and rest in Your heart, and I’ll reach for Your hand though You led me here into the dark.

And I won’t ask You for reasons
’cause a reason can’t wipe away tears. No, I don’t need all the answers, just be here beside me. Father, remind me You’re here.

If it’s random or providence neither are a comfort to me.
Are You cruel if You planned it, or weak if You allowed it to be?
Half of me’s still believin’, the other half is angry and confused. Oh, but all of me is desperate and longing to be held by You.

So I won’t ask You for reasons
’cause a reason can’t wipe away tears. No, I don’t need all the answers, just be here beside me. Father, remind me You’re here.

Get me outta my mind and into Your arms, where hope comes alive and fear falls apart.

And I won’t ask You for reasons
’cause a reason can’t wipe away tears. No, I don’t need all the answers, just be here beside me. Father, remind me You’re here.”
