It is currently 4;14 AM and it’s another sleepless night. I was pondering around on YouTube and stumbled across a song titled Even When It Hurts by Hillsong. I felt almost compelled to create a blog post and share this song with some of my readers. Let me tell you, the live version brought me to tears. It takes a lot for me to cry, and this song did it. I sat for an honest 15 minutes crying and digesting what I’ve heard. What I’m gonna do is take the verses and choruses and dissect them to gain further knowledge on the song and it’s meaning.
Take this fainted heart
Take these tainted hands
Wash me in Your love
Come like grace again
Dear Father, I’m asking You to take me in my brokenness and make me new. I ask that You wash me in Your unending love, teach me who I am and who I need to be.
Even when my strength is lost
I’ll praise You
Even when I have no song
I’ll praise You
Even when it’s hard to find the words
Louder then I’ll sing Your praise
I praise You at all times. In my brokenness You show me the way. Through out all of the trials You’ve remained faithful, so I send You my everlasting love.
Take this mountain weight
Take these ocean tears
Hold me through the trial
Come like hope again
I ask that You make sure that the path I travel is the path You want me to travel. Guide me to where I need to be. Without Your love and guidance, I would be lost.
Even when the fight seems lost
I’ll praise You
Even when it hurts like hell
I’ll praise You
Even when it makes no sense to sing
Louder then I’ll sing Your praise
When I’m doubting Your love, I ask that You put me on the right path straight to Your heart. When I’ve fallen on my knees and need You, I know You’ll be there. When I’m stuck in my path, You’ll be there.
Now this is just some of the song, but I highly recommend you take a listen and let it speak to you. The song 🙂
My God is a God who never fails. He leads me through my trials and temptations, and always makes me new. For all that He’s done, I have but no choice to praise Him in the highest.
