even if...yes, even if

Psalm 100:4-5, "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name.  For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations."

There is a new song out by Mercy Me called "Even If".  Yesterday...and Sunday truth be told, much to the chagrin of my husband and daughter, "Even If" has been played on repeat specifically as a young man in our church fights for his life because of an adverse reaction to the anethesia he received during a routine wisdom tooth extraction.  It has given me pause to try to wrap my head around that poor momma/family. Please, please pray for them.

Even in these times, we enter His gates with thanksgiving.  We don't always get to understand His ways.  He is God and we are not.  But, I know He is good and His love endures forever.  He has been faithful and will be faithful and gives us the peace to say "It is well with my soul," even in the hardest times. 

The lyrics that have slayed me:

It's easy to sing
When there's nothing to bring me down
But what will I say
When I'm held to the flame
Like I am right now

I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone

They say it only takes a little faith
To move a mountain
Well good thing
A little faith is all I have, right now
But God, when You choose
To leave mountains unmovable
Oh give me the strength to be able to sing
It is well with my soul
