"Shadows Stay"

Verse 1
The house won’t move, but the air feels thin,
Every step I take, I trip where you’ve been.
Your chair’s still warm in the quiet place.,
I keep the lights low, in this blue space. 

Verse 2
Your watch still ticks on the bedroom shelf,
I wind it up, but it won’t help.
The calendar froze on a winter day,
The ink of your handwriting won’t fade away.

Chorus
You’re gone, but the shadows stay,
They whisper in a crooked way.
I keep on talking, but no one replies,
Just the sound of my breath, and the sound of goodbyes.

Verse 3
Some nights I dream you’re walking near,
Your coat on the rail, your voice in my ear.
I wake to nothing, just the ceiling’s stare,
And the heavy reminder that you’re not there.

Chorus
You’re gone, but the shadows stay,
They whisper in a crooked way.
I keep on talking, but no one replies,
Just the sound of my breath, and the sound of goodbyes.

Verse 1
The house won’t move, but the air feels thin,
Every step I take, I trip where you’ve been.
Your chair’s still warm in the quiet place.,
I keep the lights low, in this blue space.

Chorus
You’re gone, but the shadows stay,
They whisper in a crooked way.
I keep on talking, but no one replies,
Just the sound of my breath, and the sound of goodbyes.

Final Chorus
You’re gone, but the shadows stay,
They haunt me in a tender way.
I reach for your hand, but it slips through the night,
And I’m left with the dark, and the absence of light.

02 O Love, That Wilt Not Let Me Go

Christ Only Always

There's A Man In The Glory

It's just the 5th month of 2020 yet I feel like a year has passed because of the many things that have happened and are currently still going on. Natural calamities here and there, and now, a pandemic has debilitated us in many ways than one; it's quite a challenge not to feel any form of anxiety these days. I for one had some bouts with anxiety quietly. I have always been the kind to keep things to myself but it's also exhausting. Many nights I've stared at my bedroom ceiling, wondering where this could take us. I know God has a will, for sure, but Mr. Anxiety creeps in every now and then, trying to shake my faith. Uncertainties have their way of messing with our mind.

However, I was reminded of this hymn during one of those contemplative nights, and the last line has always struck me since I learned this song, but it has truly become such a huge source of comfort and conversation with the Lord these days in particular.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
If you're feeling lonely 'cause nobody cares,
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus is there.
If trouble, confusion, puts your life in night,
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus is light.

If you turn to Him
From within,
Burdens He'll share;
It matters not who you are,
Jesus will be there.

So don't wait for answers from someplace, somehow.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, it's now.

If you call on Him
From within,
You just can't miss!
And when problems torment you,
Just remember this:
In all situations this world can afford,
Jesus is Lord!

Enjoy!

If You're Feeling Lonely 'Cause Nobody Cares    (Sel. 328)
