It’s one of those times in life when so many people I know are facing difficult times. Illness, personal and relational struggles, financial challenges and more. Their journeys are hard, and answers and relief seem far away.

I heard this song yesterday.  It’s a good one. It’s a song about resolve in the middle of the storms and the tempests and the trials. And it says it much better than I ever could.

Be encouraged.

May your journey bring a blessing. May you rise on wings of faith.

Jesus draw me ever nearer,

As I labour through the storm.

You have called me to this passage,

And I’ll follow, though I’m worn.

 

Jesus guide me through the tempest;

Keep my spirit staid and sure.

When the midnight meets the morning,

Let me love You even more.

 

Let the treasures of the trial,

Form within me as I go.

And at the end of this long passage,

Let me leave them at Your throne.

 

Chorus:

May this journey bring a blessing,

May I rise on wings of faith;

And at the end of my heart’s testing,

With Your likeness let me wake.

 

“Jesus Draw Me Ever Nearer”
