Gather Little by Little

Picture by angela7dreams

My faithful readers know the that last year of my life started with a huge personal crisis followed by 12 months of ups and downs but life is slowly returning to normal. I rely both on the word of God and Christian music for inspiration and renewal. Over the past year, one of the songs I’ve continually turned to inspire me and give me me hope is Mountain of God by Third Day.Here are the lyrics, and if you are currently in the valley, hopefully the words will inspire you as well.

Thought that I was all alone, broken and failed
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me

And I didn’t even know that I had lost my way
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me

Til You opened my eyes, I’d never know
That I couldn’t ever make it without You

Even though the journey’s long
And I know the road is hard
Well, the One who’s gone before me
He will help me carry on
After all that I’ve been through, now I realize the truth
That I must go through the valley to stand upon the mountain of God

As I travel on the road that You have lead me down
You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me
I have need for nothing more
Oh, now that I have found that You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me

I confess from time to time, I lose my way
But You are always there to bring me back again

Sometimes, I think of where it is I’ve come from
And the things I’ve left behind
But of all I’ve had, what I possessed
Nothing can quite compare with what’s in front of me
With what’s in front of me
