When I was thinking of a name for this blog, the song “I’ve Witnessed It” by Passion & Melodie Malone immediately came to mind. Haven’t heard it? Let me do the honors… (And YES, the live version is worth the 7 minute listen)
I was about a year into my grief journey when I heard this song for the first time. In fact, I had just miscarried my sweet baby Parker. I was experiencing what felt like one loss after the other. Good things would happen, but all I could feel and see and remember was the bad. But when I heard these words, it was as if I could feel God starting to break the barriers I had built around my soul.
When I was lost and all alone,
Your presence was where I found home.
You were there, and You’re here right now.
In every high and every low,
You never left me without hope.
You were good, and You’re good right now.
God, even in my consuming pain, You are GOOD. God, even in my weakness, You are STRONG. God, even in my unsteady faith, You are CONSTANT. God, even in my anger, You LOVE. God, even in my brokenness, You HEAL. God, even in my sin, You SAVE.
How can I believe these words? How can I sing them with joy in my heart when so much of what I love has been taken away from me? It’s simple, really… I’ve witnessed it. Time and time again. On my highest mountain and in my lowest valley, I’ve witnessed the goodness of God. And I’m confident that I’ll see it again and again.
I've Witnessed It.
