"He'll Carry You"

Sometimes prayers are answered so quickly and mercies are in the works before you even ask for them. I just have to share how my prayer was answered on Sunday. Sundays are hard days for us. Jason thinks they are his worst day of the week. It's difficult to be surrounded by so many people when your feelings are still SO on the surface (however; our ward is AMAZING and I know they are totally there for us). Sunday morning I was really dreading going to church - I know that's bad of me, please don't judge me. :) But, we went of course, and I am so glad I did. During the Sacrament I remember telling Heavenly Father, "Please don't let me feel alone today. Please give me some type of comfort." Well, a new family just moved into our ward and they were the Sacrament Meeting speakers. As they started speaking they talked about their little girl who passed away from some severe birth defects - kind of like the ones Gavin had. At once I realized Heavenly Father knew my prayer and requests before I even asked for them. He knew I needed to hear from someone who understood what I was going through. But most of all . . . the musical number hit home for me. I am such a sucker for music. I just think the lyrics are so beautiful. All of us have our own struggles - some are very obvious to the outside world and there are some that no one can see. All are equally challenging. I just thought we could all benefit from the words of this song - so I posted them below. Oh - and I love this picture!
"He'll Carry You"

He knows your heart
He knows your pain
He knows the strength it took just too simply breathe today
He sees the tears that you cry
He knows your soul is aching to know why
He hears your prayers each humble word
When you said you couldn’t face another day he understood
He knows the path that you will find
Though you felt alone he’s never left your side

Chorus:He knew there’d be moments when no earthly words could take away your sorrow
And no human eyes could see what you’re going through
When you’ve taken your last step and done all that you can do
He will lift your heavy load and carry you

He’ll bring you peace and leave you hope
And in the darkest night he’ll comfort you
Until you know the sun will rise and each new day
You will have the strength to live again

Chorus: And when there are moments when no earthly words can take away your sorrow
And no human eyes could see what you’re going through
When you’ve taken your last step and done all that you can do
He will lift your heavy load and carry you

He hears you when you’re crying in the night
He hears you when your soul longs to find
Till the morning will come
And the light of the dawn reassures

Chorus:That in the moments when no earthly words can take away your sorrow
And no human eyes could see what you’re going through
When you’ve taken your last step and done all that you can do
He will lift your heavy load and carry you
