the solid rock

if God didn't exist, i would have no hope.
if God didn't exist, i would be a complete and total wreak.
if God didn't exist, i would have endless and unanswerable questions.
if God didn't exist, i would be overwhelmed with pain unspeakable.
if God didn't exist, i would not have the strength to go on.
if God didn't exist, i would see things for face value.
if God didn't exist, i would not understand.
if God didn't exist, i would have no peace.
if God didn't exist, i would be lost.
if God didn't exist, i would not know what to do.
if God didn't exist, i would not be able to face the next day.

this list continues exhaustively, but these thoughts immediately surface to my mind. thankfully He does exist. and more than that, God is still the same loving, caring, righteous, holy, merciful, kind, gracious, compassionate God He always was. things still don't make sense to me. but it's okay, God knows what He's doing. He's still in control. He knows what's best for us. He's still sovereign. He's still the almighty God He always ways. i forever will place all of my hope and trust in Him, because it's in Him, that i am strong. "my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." (2 cor 12:9 [NIV])

who is man to question God? who is man to demand answers from God? as if we could even minutely comprehend the Godship of God and His reasons for things to happen.

without You i would have no hope i'd be all alone without You without You i could not be strong i could not go on without You without You

who would i be if You didn't love me
who would i be without You
who would i be if You didn't save me
who would i be without You

without You life would make no sense
dreams would always end without You
without You spring would not appear
storms would never clear without You
without You
