I discovered a new band, it’s called “By The Tree”. One of the people I subscribe to on YouTube (kidforgod) uploaded a video of one of their songs (Your Arms) and in the video description it has the lyrics. I’ll add the lyrics to the end of this post because I think they are so amazing. The song is all about going to God when things are falling apart in your life. It’s about how confidence, hope, strength and acceptance is found in Him. God is their to comfort us in hard times. He isn’t there to take it away. The Bible tells us that we will go through trials and hard times. Jesus’ disciples were killed because the lifed for Jesus (except John who lived to old age). Jesus said, “blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me.” God is more concerned with our character than us living a cozy life. It’s so easy to fall away when God allows us to go through hard times but if we were to go to God and find strength, hope, comfort, love and so much, then maybe the hard times would be easier to endure. Maybe then teenagers would stop causing themselves harm. Maybe then we wouldn’t have as many suicides.
When surrounded by my doubts
Here am I turning inside out
I remember my confidence
It comes from you
This I can depend on
My hope
It comes from you
My strength
Is found in you
When I’m lost
I come running to your arms
And I’m found
I’m found in you
Far beyond these thoughts I feel
Something greater I hold on to
It lifts me up to a higher place
To your arms I will fly away
And you hold me just a little longer
Till my fears subside
And take away the lonely pain
Till my tears run dry
You let me know forever more
Your arms are open wide for me
My hope
It comes from you
My strength
Is found in you
