Sometimes it's more than a song...

Over the past few days, I've listened to Aaron Shust's "My Savior, My God" on my way to work. The lyrics really speak to my soul:

I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed, what God has planned
I only know at his right hand
Stands one who is my savior

I take him at his word and deed
Christ died to save me this I read
And in my heart I find a need
For him to be my savior

That he would leave his place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my savior

My savior loves, my savior lives
My savior's always there for me
My God he was, my God he is
My God he's always gonna be

Yes, living, dying; let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring
That he who lives to be my king
Once died to be my savior

That he would leave his place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my savior

My savior loves, my savior lives
My savior's always there for me
My God he was, My God he is
My God he's always gonna be

It just tells me that no matter what obstacles stand in my way, or how impossible and confusing life can be, God has a plan. The trials of life can make us stronger and can empower us in faith if only we trust in Him...
