Courage, Dear Heart


Psalm 27:14 English Standard Version (ESV)

14 Wait for the Lord;
    be strong, and let your heart take courage;
    wait for the Lord!

Isaiah 41:13 English Standard Version (ESV)

13 For I, the Lord your God,
    hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Fear not,
    I am the one who helps you.”

“Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid.”

― Frederick Buechner, Beyond Words: Daily Readings in the ABC's of Faith


Often times it's a mystery to me to discover what song God wants me next to upload.  It starts with an image that makes me pause then there's the song.  This week it was "Daylight" by J J Heller.  Her inspiration for the song was her own battle with panic attacks.  I believe there are many hurts both physical and emotional that can keep us on the inside looking out.  It's scary out there but we are kept by a big, courageous and loving God.  Battle on, warrior, battle on.

Daylight - J J Heller

Lord, I’ve been afraid for so long
I’ve prayed so many times to be strong
I sit here in the desert making circles in the sand
But you’re telling me you’re the promise land

There is an inch of daylight underneath the door
It’s enough for me to fill up my canteen
Food and water are only buying time
If I want to live, Your love is what I need

I’m scared to death of taking the wrong turn
Peace is something nobody can earn
There’s no chance now of losing when you’ve given me Your love
You healed the disease I was dying of

There is an inch of daylight underneath the door
It’s enough for me to fill up my canteen


Food and water are only buying time
If I want to live, Your love is what I need

Be near me
Be near me now
Be near me
Be near me now

There is an inch of daylight underneath the door
It’s enough for me to fill up my canteen
Food and water are only buying time
If I want to live, Your love is what I need
If I want to live, Your love is what I need
