Song Notes

I had been feeling unwell on and off for about a year. It seemed that I had been suffering from one virus after another. Eventually I was diagnosed with “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome” or “ME” as it is sometimes called. This makes me feel very weary at times and it is difficult to make plans as I am never certain how well I will be feeling.

One morning, I had been spending some time with Dee, talking about weariness and the stresses of life. As I was driving home, this new song began to play in my head – I remember “listening” for and trying to grasp the new chorus as I sat at some traffic lights waiting for them to change from red to green. By the time I got home, the song was just about complete, and I was able to phone Dee and sing it to her.

This song is a promise to me that, however weary I may feel, I am safe in my Father’s arms. The ME continues and the roadway has been “rocky” at times, but I have always known the security of my Father’s love and His strength helping me face each new day.

I pray that others may be encouraged, as they hear this song, to face the dark clouds and the rocky pathways of their life, confident that :

“The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” Deuteronomy 33:27 NIV
