Shoulders

Emma loves music. She knows the words to most of my music because we listen to it while we run. Her favorite song is 'Shoulders,' by for KING & COUNTRY, followed by Rend Collective's 'You Will Never Run, (oddly ironic considering how much Emma loves to run) and 'My Lighthouse.' The other day I noticed her singing all the words, even without the music. We also made up our own actions. It's so cute. Here are the lyrics, I think she is just singing the chorus:

  • When confusion's my companion
    And despair holds me for ransom
    I will feel no fear
    I know that You are near
    When I'm caught deep in the valley
    With chaos for my company
    I'll find my comfort here
    ‘Cause I know that You are near

    CHORUS
    My help comes from You
    You're right here, pulling me through
    You carry my weakness, my sickness, my brokenness all on Your shoulders 
    Your shoulders
    My help comes from You
    You are my rest, my rescue
    I don't have to see to believe that You're lifting me up on Your shoulders 
    Your shoulders

    You mend what once was shattered
    And You turn my tears to laughter
    Your forgiveness is my fortress
    Oh Your mercy is relentless 

    My help is from You
    Don't have to see it to believe it
    My help is from you
    Don't have to see it, ‘cause I know, ‘cause I know it's true
