Shane and Shane just put out a new album on their website, and I just stinkin love them. Seriously, they're incredible songwriters and talented musicians. One of the songs just hit me. I know it's hard to post lyrics on a blog and expect them to speak to everyone else who reads them, especially if you aren't listening to the song.. but I'm going to post them anyway..

I can walk through the storm.
I can walk by faith when my sight is gone, just as long as You are here with me.
I can gain everything but what do I have if I don’t have the King?
Oh I need to know You’re here with me

Here I am, calling out, Father. Can you hear me? I don’t wanna go without You.

Here I am, can You talk a little louder so I can hear You. I wanna hear You.

I don’t wanna move without You.

Even though I believe You’ve taken up a home inside me and You’ll never leave
I still need to know You’re here with me

Here I am, I’m calling out, Father. Can You hear me?

I don’t wanna go without You.

Here I am, can You talk a little louder so I can hear You. I wanna hear You.

I don’t wanna move without You.

If Your presence goes, I don’t wanna stay. If Your presence stays, I don’t wanna go

I need You.

Here I am, I’m calling out, Father. Can You hear me?

I don’t wanna go without You.

Here I am, can You talk a little louder so I can hear You. I wanna hear You.

I don’t wanna move without You.

Right now, I'm in this weird place, trying to figure out and discern God's will for my life. I'm trying to be obedient to the call He's placed on my life... but to be honest, things are just hard right now. They're really hard, and it's difficult not to be discouraged in a lot of the things going on. BUT in the midst of a difficult time in my life, the Lord places so many reminders throughout my day, to assure me that He's still near. I'm blessed beyond measure. I need to remember that, even on the tough days.

If Your presence goes, I dont wanna stay. If Your presence stays, I dont wanna go. I need You...
