Never Alone

Grief, sorrow, pain, loss, disappointment, fear, anxiety...no one escapes these feelings. Sometimes we can become so consumed by them and we feel alone.  At one point in my life I felt so heavy and burdened, I couldn't sleep, I felt like I couldn't breathe, I could hardly function... I was listening to inspirational music to try and find comfort and healing one sleepless night. This song came on and oh how the tears flowed! It spoke to my soul and so deeply captured the feelings of my heart. I played it over and over for days. It was the beginning of my healing. It brought me out of my despair and helped me to recognize that I truly am never alone...




Never Alone by Hilary Weeks

Why did this happen
Do you know what's happened to me
And Heaven were you watching
Were you watching over me
Cause the way that I've been feeling
Well I'm feeling so alone

So if you hear this prayer 
And if I'm not alone
I need to know
I need to know you're there
I need something to hold on to
I need someone who will care

Carry me on
And Carry me through somehow
Make sense of this pain 
And show me the way

Cause when the darkness comes 
I'm a prisoner to my fears
Although I'm listening the doubt is all I hear
Then I reach for your hand 
and feel you reaching back
And the light returns

And I begin, I begin to understand
My soul can feel the mercy 
And the love in your plan
And when I let go
And turn all the hurt and sorrow over to you
The burden is light
And trusting I find

Though the storms roll in 
And the winds of change may blow
I know you'll let them come 
So that I can learn and grow
And when I reach for your hand 
I feel you reaching back
And that's how I know
I am never alone
