Louisiana
Navigating Shadows: A Journey of Faith in Louisiana
Lyrics
I've never felt fear like I did that night
I experienced an intense fear on that particular night.
In a dark Louisiana hotel room by my wife
In a dimly lit hotel room in Louisiana, alongside my wife.
It was all I could do to bring Your word to my mind
I struggled to recall and focus on Your teachings.
But the morning couldn't come soon enough this time
Anticipation for the morning was heightened this time.
You were there but we couldn't see You
You were present, though we couldn't perceive Your presence.
Guiding us though we couldn't feel You
You guided us even when we couldn't sense Your guidance.
You were there making sense of all the pieces
Your presence helped make sense of the challenges.
You were there just like all the other seasons
Just like in previous seasons, You were there for us.
You were there
A declaration of the continuous presence of the divine.
You were there
Reiteration of the constant presence of the divine.
I can't say I had joy with the morning light
Despite lacking joy, I was grateful for the new day.
Yet thankful for the day and the passing of night
Expressing gratitude for the passing of the night.
I still tried to flow Your words like a river through my mind
Attempting to immerse myself in Your teachings throughout the day.
But already the day was strained and the road was rough this time
The day started with challenges and a difficult journey.
You were there but we couldn't see You
Your presence was there, though not visibly evident.
Guiding us though we couldn't feel You
You guided us even when we were oblivious to Your guidance.
You were there making sense of all the pieces
Your presence brought coherence to the fragmented aspects of life.
You were there just like all the other seasons
Similar to previous experiences, You were present.
I know You said I'll never leave you nor forsake you
Recalling the promise that You will never abandon or forsake.
Trust in Me the enemy won't overtake you
Encouragement to trust in You, assuring victory over the enemy.
I'm your very present help in time of need
A reminder that You are a constant source of help in times of need.
So come on now just trust in Me
An urging to trust in You in the face of challenges.
I know You said I'll never leave you nor forsake you
Reiterating the commitment to never leave or forsake.
Trust in Me the enemy won't overtake you
Reinforcement to trust in You for protection against the enemy.
I'm your very present help in time of need
Reminder of being a present help in times of need.
So come on now just trust in Me
An encouragement to trust in You in challenging times.
Trust in Me
An emphatic call to place trust in the divine.
Trust in Me
A repetition emphasizing the importance of trust.
I know You'll be there all through the night
A conviction that the divine presence will endure through the night.
I know You'll be there all through this life
Confidence in the perpetual presence of the divine throughout life.
