"Reason to Sing"

So I've recently discovered the band All Sons & Daughters, and can I just say I'm convinced they've been following me around and also reading my mind.

Yeah.

The first song I heard was "Reason to Sing":

"When the pieces seem too shattered

to gather off the floor

and all that seems to matter

is that I don't feel you anymore" 

I've been broken a lot lately. Everything I thought I knew keeps falling apart. I've been striving to feel God's love like I used to because sometimes He just feels so distant.

"When I'm overcome by fear

and I hate everything I know

if this waiting lasts forever 

I'm afraid I might let go" 

I've been in what seems like an eternal waiting room for a while now. I've been stuck fighting the same battles over and over again, scared that if I fail one more time it will be one time too many.

"I need a reason to sing

I need a reason to sing

I need to know that You're still holding

the whole world in Your hands

that is a reason to sing."

Remind me that You're in control, Lord. You're still holding on to me even when I let go of You. You are always my reason to sing.
