Y Not I

This week I have decided to rock out and one of my favorite bands to rock out with is Barlow Girl. They have a new album coming out in a few weeks, so it will be great to have some new music from them to listen to. For this week, an older song, “Never Alone”. For the video I decided not to chose the actual video the band did. You can see that here. Instead I really liked this version done by them live in a studio, because they really rock on this.

Here are the lyrics:

I waited for you today
but you didn’t show no no no
I needed you today
So where did you go?

You told me to call
Said you’d be there
and though I haven’t seen you
Are you still there?

I cried out with no reply
and I can’t feel you by my side
so I’ll hold tight to what I know
You’re here, and I’m Never Alone

And though I cannot see you
and I can’t explain why
such a deep deep reasurrance
You’ve placed in my life
OH!!

We cannot seperate
you’re part of me
and though you’re invisible
I’ll trust the unseen

I cried out with no reply
and I cant feel you by my side
so I’ll hold tight to what I know
You’re here and I’m Never Alone

We cannot seperate
you’re part of me
and though you’re invisible
I’ll trust the unseen

I cried out with no reply
and I can’t feel you by my side
so I’ll hold tight to what I know
You’re here and I’m Never Alone

Instead of just giving a Bible verse, I have something more, a teaching based on the song, by Derek Lehman. He wrote about this song not too long ago, and it was a very good teaching based upon the lyrics, so when there is great application already created, the power of the web says link to it. And here it is. As Derek states:

So, are we right to feel abandoned sometimes. I would say so. Is there hope?

David always thought so. He was more honest than most about God disappearing. Yet his complaints always ended in statements of trust. As he wrote songs, prayers about his troubles, his spirit resolved within him. He worked to a place of resolution. He saw the truth.

�The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord has accepted my prayer,� he believes (Psalm 6:9). �The Lord is King forever and ever . . . O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted,� he assures himself (Psalm 10:16-17). �I will sing to the Lord, for he has dealt bountifully with me� (Psalm 13:6).

So no matter where you are take comfort in that G-d is there, no matter how alone you may feel. Shabbat Shalom. B”H .
