I've come through many hard trials
Through temptations on every hand
Though Satan's tried to stop me
And to place my feet on sinking sand
Through the pain and all of my sorrows
Through the tears and all of my fears
The Lord was there to keep me
For He's kept me in the midst of it all
Not because I've been so faithful
Not Because I've always obeyed
Noo, It's not because I trust him
To be with me all of the way
But it's because He loves me so dearly
He was there to answer my call
He was there always to protect me
For He's kept me in the midst of it all

Gotta love Yolanda. Probably one of the first gospel singers I was ever introduced to, back in '94. I dodged this female employee of mines at the time. But after being unable to run any longer I sat and listened to her express her love and my need for this wonderful gospel singer in my life.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could go back to Milwaukee, find the woman and thank her.
Dear Be Still {the blog} I admire your blog so much that you are one that I would like to pass the "Superior Scribbler" award on to. You can visit my page for any rules to follow on the award. I love your poetic and creative and touching writing. Best Regards.
ReplyDelete@ Don: I remember the first time I heard Yolanda Adams. She made me appreciate the whooping and hollering I grew up with in church. It finally touched me... Now, when I go from a relatively tame worship service at school to a tear up throw down revival in SC, I smile and thank God for the diversity.
ReplyDelete@ McCaffery: Thank you so much for reading. And the award is so appreciated. My apologies for catching this so late. :O)
