Always

Can I have a moment of your time
And leave this far behind
Can you find the time to take a chance
Just walk with me tonight

Even though the rain must fall
Baby that will pass
Listen to the words I say
I've saved them just for you

You're safe with me tonight
And Always
As sure as this full moon
And Always

Lets sit around and shed those lonely tears
While days turn into years

Even though the rain must fall
Baby that will pass
Listen to the words I say
I've saved them just for you

You're safe with me tonight
And Always
As sure as this full moon
And Always

Nothing lasts not the good times or the bad
They all just become the past
Sometimes your heart can turn on dime
What made you cry will one day make you smile

You're safe with me tonight
And Always
As sure as this full moon
You're safe with me tonight
And Always

These lyrics come from a song of the same name, on a CD entitled "Two Shots" by the Toronto Jazz singer, Matt Dusk.

I was really blue, in a real "Mood Indigo," one night, feeling lonely and teary and everything a single girl feels when she's overtired and awake at one in the morning. I was asking God for help to go on, wondering why I was/am still single and feeling oh-so-lonely, when this song came on. Now I'd listened to this CD quite a few times before and never particularly noticed this song, but that night, it became mine, my love song from God.

I knew that through this song God was asking me to really spend time in relationship with Him and reminding me of His constant protection. The assurance and love was overwhelming and I just broke down in full out sobs of gratitude.

And I have to remind myself that His love is even surer than the "full moon" since He is the one who created it in the first place.

Now more than two years since I originally posted this on my From the Wilderness blog, it still holds true.
