It's the perfect time of the day. It's neither cold or hot, just still. The air is calm, my eyes are open bigger. I realize the mountains around our valley neither begin or end, but just surround. it's about 8:45, Ailee and I are out for a run. She comes with me on nights when she's not quit settled and ready for bed. The run rocks her right to sleep and seeing her little piggies hang right over the seat brings such hope to my journey.
And then it happened, the Mat Kearney song, "closer to love" came on Pandora.
here's the music video:
She got the call today
One out of the gray
And when the smoke cleared
It took her breath away
She said she didn't believe
It could happen to me
I guess we're all one phone call
from our knees
We're gonna get there soon
If every building falls
And all the stars fade
We'll still be singing this song
The one they can't take away
I'm gonna get there soon
She's gonna be there too
Cryin' in her room
Prayin' Lord come through
We're gonna get there soon
Oh it's your light
Oh it's your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love
Meet me once again
Down off Lake Michigan
Where we could feel the storm blowin
Down with the wind
And don't apologize
For all the tears you've cried
You've been way too strong now for all your life
I'm gonna get there soon
You're gonna be there too
Cryin' in your room
Prayin' Lord come through
We're gonna get there soon
Oh it's your light
Oh it's your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love
Cause you are all that I've waited for
All of my life
(We're gonna get there)
You are all that I've waited for
All of my life
You pull me closer to love hu huuh
Closer to love hu huuuh
Pull me closer to love
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love oh no
Closer to love
Closer to love
Pull me closer to love
My friend recently got that call. She lost her younger brother very tragically. The line,
"I guess we're all one phone call from our knees," really hurts. This life is so fragile. My heart breaks for you, friend. I have hope in the things we discussed. We'll continue to trust in our loving Father, and until we get to leave this earth, may you always feel His peace.
We're gonna get there soon...
