Yesterday’s post obviously struck a chord. Is it just knowing that we’re not alone? Is it the profound nature of God’s grace? Is it confronting the subtle lie that “You are Enough” because we know it rings hollow? I’m not sure but I do know that a lot of you commented, liked, and shared the post so something definitely resonated down deep. (It wasn’t even some of my best writing so… I don’t think that was it.)
In light of your response, I wanted to share this song with you. It’s by one of my all-time favorite songwriters, Andrew Peterson. (Rick calls him my music crush, rivaling only Fernando Ortega.) I only discovered him a year or so ago but I love the storytelling in his songs. You should go check him out yourself – here or here.
One of the repeated lines in the song? “This life is not long but it’s hard.” So, yeah, it seems relevant. If you’re in a season of treading water, I hope it encourages you and becomes a prayer of yours as you move through your days.
Love Andrew Peterson….also love Ortega’s “Grace and Peace”. That song has always moved me.
I just love good storytelling in lyrics and Peterson does that so well! I do love that one by Ortega and also his Just Give Me Jesus. They are two artists where I think I have purchased everything they’ve ever done 🙂
Thank you. Beautiful and relevant.
