Story Behind The Song

I've been through a lot of storms in my life and through the ups and downs there were friends who stood by me whenever they could. However I had to spend a huge chunk of time in pain - alone. During this time it was my Lord Jesus who stood by me and reassured me, comforted me through His Word, His loving presence in my life. This song portrays what Jesus said and did for me during those toughest times in my life. I owe my life and all that I am... will ever be to Him! This song is my tribute to my Lord Jesus!!! I am glad to say that this song has got me the Finalist position in the UK Songwriting Contest!

Song Description

We are often faced with situations that break us and wear us down. Most of these times we find ourselves alone without family or friend... During these times when we find there is nowhere left to turn it is all the more precious to hear words that soothe our heart... touch us and mend us where we are hurting. This song is a refuge for those who are hurting inside because it expresses the loving heart of the Saviour Jesus who is calling out to them and telling them that He cares and that He will be there for them... He loves them. His words are not just reassuring, but also encouraging the hurting person to carry on and finish this journey of life... He is telling them to not give up hope and that this race can be run!

Lyrics

I can see there's so much hurt inside
Neath the smile that you are trying to hide
Hope is crushed, dreams all fade away
And you think, don't wanna live another day.

Chorus:
Pick up your cross and follow Me,
There's so much good for you to see
Throw all your burdens in My Hands
Even if you don't understand
Just know, I care,
I'm there,
Forever I'll be true,
That's how much I love you.

Yes, they hurt, they cause a lot of pain,
And you tried, all your efforts were in vain,
For every deed of kindness you were hurt
And you thought that you had just no worth.

Chorus

You wonder how you will see the sun,
You're tired how can this race be run?
Can't you see that though they tried their worst
You're standing still, and you won't bite the dust.
