But I’ll sing of your glory now I’ll sing of your glory now
I’ll sing of your glory now and forever
“but.”
in other words: despite everything, i’ll sing of Your glory.
…because at this rate, that’s all i have. and really, what else is there?
When all I thought was sacred was shattered in the fallout
And my feet of clay the weight can no longer carry
is nothing sacred? especially to those who claim to be a child of the King, to those who place their desires – their foolishness – ahead of truth and righteousness and honor. think about what it’s doing to those closest to you. to Him.
Lord knows i’m not perfect. right now, i can barely stand. all i thought was sacred, all i had thought i had a firm grip on, now i find myself with no strength to fight for at all.
When love is not a feeling
And hope feels like a cop-out
The ground beneath my feet a sudden shift and I’m buried
i cling to His promises and the hope of them coming true, but my problem is that i can’t allow myself to hope beyond what is written in black and white. anything beyond that isn’t worth my hoping for, no matter how strong the desire, no matter how affirmed it has been in my life (yes, i know…that savors strongly of disappointed “hopes,” doesn’t it?).
His Word is truth, and nothing else is assured.
Hold tight the sacred ties that bind this weary soul
and that’s all i have to cling to. that is all that is holding me together. in the disappointment. in the hurt. in the recovery. in the reality. in the desires that i’ve boxed away. in that urge to run away. in the masking of emotions.
oh, i know this all sounds so pitiful, i know. i can hear their voices in my head: get up. this is not ok. dust yourself off. move on. don’t let it get to you. get over it. you’re letting them win. smile.
and so i will…tomorrow.
Hold tight the sacred ties that bind my weary soul
O God of light, of ancient skies, I sing it out, You’re aliveI’ll sing of your glory now
I’ll sing of your glory now
I’ll sing of your glory now and forever
because giving Him the glory is what holds me together.

sing of your glory, by bebo norman
love twisted. Love Defined 
When all is said and done, “We will sing, sing, sing, and make music with the heavens, we will sing, sing, sing, grateful that You hear us.
When we shout your praise, lift high the name of Jesus!”
Rough season, my friend. Remember: It’s but a season.
God will use this season for your good, so that you will not depend too greatly on anyone else, but Him.
Your hope is in Him, and that is reason to sing!
I love you,
Daphne
I know this all too well. Beautiful words.
As you look at the day before you, you see a twisted, complicated path, with branches going off in all directions. You wonder how you can possibly find your way through that maze. Then you remember the One who is with you always, holding you by your right hand. You recall My promise to guide you with My counsel and you begin to relax. As you look again at the path ahead, you notice that a peaceful fog has settled over you, obscuring your view. You can see only a few steps in front of you, so you turn your attention more fully to Me and begin to enjoy My Presence.
The fog is a protection for you, calling you back into the present moment. Although I inhabit all of space and time, you can communicate with Me only here and now. Someday the fog will no longer be necessary, for you will have learned to keep your focus on Me and the path just ahead of you.
