There You Will See Christ.

I have a friend who lost a sister quite suddenly.  She was young, had a couple kids, and it did not seem fair.  I can't imagine how hard it is to lose someone you love so suddenly.   What that lady's family went through is something I selfishly hope I never have to experience, even though I know death is a part of life.

One Sunday during ward/stake conference, my friend fell asleep and had a dream about this song.  She woke up, wrote everything she remembered about it - lyrics, music, everything.  Completely inspiration.  I can't tell you how many times this song has given me strength, like right now.  The song is called There You Will See Christ.

Here are the lyrics.

When your heart is filled with trouble and you don't know where to turn,

There is One who's watching over you, there are lessons to be learned,

If your soul is full of sorrow, and you need some deep repair,

just open up your heart to Him and I'm sure you'll find Him there,

There will often be those times, there will often be those days

When you feel you might have lost your way and you just can't take the pain,

There are blessings to be felt, there is love that will abound,

When you look into your life there you will see Christ.

If your heart seems to be shattered He'll put the pieces back again,

If you feel so torn and tattered he can make you whole again,

When you lose someone you love so dear and you just don't understand,

If you ask Him you can feel His peace and know He's got a greater plan,

There will often be those times there will often be those days,

When you feel you might have lost your way and you just can't take the pain,

There are blessings to be felt, there is love that will abound,

When you look into your life there you will see Christ.

I've been broken and defeated and not had the strength to stand,

but when i looked there for his mercy then I saw his outstretched hands,

I have often had those times and I've often had those days,

When I felt that I had lost my way and I couldn't take the pain,

There were blessings that I felt, and I felt His love abound,

When I looked into my life there I found Him, Christ

When I looked into my life, there I found Him, Christ.

Beautiful isn't it?

For some reason, I've been having a really rough time of it today.  I'm just emotional out the wahzoo.  I felt so alone and so sorry for myself, and then I listened to this song.  It didn't fix everything, but it did make me feel a lot better.  I have to just remind myself all the beautiful things I have been blessed with in my life to be grateful for!! Especially right now.  Scared? Yes.  Alone? No.  Never forget who is watching over you.
