Fail Us Not

I had intended to post today about fruit crisp or the sewing I did this weekend. Maybe about the pie I'm making this afternoon. But those posts will be coming later this week. I have other things on my mind for today. :)

I have always turned to worship music during the times I am struggling and I need to hear God. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy worship music during other times as well. Used to be all I listened to and it is still playing in the background more often than not. But during those times I am really seeking God, it seems to be my portal. I have never been a good quiet prayer type gal. Way too overactive of a brain for that. And I always seem to doubt if I am really hearing God's voice or if I am just thinking what I want and attributing it to God because I want it. But He speaks volumes to me through worship. When I first graduated college and I wasn't sure what it was He wanted from me I can remember night after night of putting on headphones and just being curled up on the floor crying out to Him as I sang along. During times I have really struggled with depression, this is what has gotten me through. And there always seems to be a song that He really uses to speak to me again and again. A song that brings me back to the word He has for me.

Fail Us Not (1000 Generations) is that song for this season of my life. This song reaches to me in the midst of my doubt, in the darkness of my struggles and shame, in my hiding my face from God. This song reminds of God's love for me. Of the fact He.Is.God. For real. And there is nothing that He can't do and nothing that is too big for Him. He is here for me. No, he is here beside me. There are times I get so drug down by the idea "I cannot do this. This is too big for me. I hurt too much. My mistakes cannot possibly make God still want me or want to use me." But then this song finds me.

I have really been struggling with doing what I feel God wants me to be doing lately. Everyone seems to think I should be doing one thing, but I just have this conviction that God wants to show me and others what He can do with a life that trusts Him. Even when it doesn't make sense. Even when the pain is crushing and I could run from it. He tells me if I trust in Him, he will not fail me. This song really says it better than I can say it. I hope it speaks to you as much as it has to me.

Fail Us Not

Failure doesn't faze you.

Worry doesn't win.
Lost doesn't leave you afraid to start again.
Our sin doesn't shock you.
Our shame doesn't shame you at all.

Mistakes do not move you.
Terror doesn't tame.
Death doesn't doom you to life in the grave.
Our suffering doesn't scare you.
Our secrets won't surprise you at all.
At all.

There is nothing above you.
There is nothing beyond you.
There is nothing that you can't do.


Whatever will come, we'll rise above.
You fail us not, You fail us not.
No matter the war, our hope is secure.
You fail us not, You fail us not.
You fail us not.

Hatred doesn't hide you.
Evil doesn't ail.
Despair can't disguise you and tell you that you fail.
Our doubt doesn't daunt you.
Our darkness won't defeat you at all.
At all.

There is nothing above you.
There is nothing beyond you.
There is nothing that you can't do.

Whatever will come, we'll rise above.
You fail us not, You fail us not.
No matter the war, our hope is secure.
You fail us not, You fail us not.
Whatever will come, we'll rise above.
You fail us not, You fail us not.
No, You fail us not.
You fail us not.

You're bigger than the battle.
You are bigger than the battle.
You are bigger than the battle has ever been.
Ever been.

Whatever will come, we'll rise above.

You fail us not, You fail us not.
No, You fail us not.

You fail us not.
No matter the war. Our hope is secure.
You fail us not.
Whatever will come, we'll rise above.
You fail us not.
No, you fail us not.
