Even When

I am back on the horse. I put on a Jeremy Camp CD... Restored. I just listened... both to the music and for the voice of the Lord. What happened? I heard His voice calling to me. I felt His Spirit washing over me. Everything is going to work out. No matter the outcome, I am part of His family. He wants to comfort me. He wants to restore me... and He will stick by me no matter the road. Now that road isn't guaranteed to be smooth. Its certainly not guaranteed to be easy... But I am guaranteed to have a partner to hold onto every step of the way.

Even when I stumble, even when I waste my inheritance, even when I throw a fit at the way things are and take my ball and go home... even when I close His Book, stop praying for a week, mope around listening to old U2 CDs... and feel sorry for myself... even after that... He's right there ready to pick me up and return me to his fold.

He is the best friend I have ever had. He is the only one that waits and waits and loves and loves... Even when I am weak, He is more patient than me. Even when I am a fool, He is smarter than me. Even when I doubt, He stands steadfast. He is my best friend.

Even When
Jeremy camp

you know and you see

the times of my defeat

when i fail to realize

your kindness reaches

through all my fragile fears

of wasting any years

and i see you go beyond

my silent feelings

even when i wrote my life away

you still receive me

even when i wrote my life away

you still receive me
