"It's Going to Be Alright"

My very good friend, Matt, of almost nine years (he and his family are like family to me), who resides in Carmel, Indiana, wrote out the lyrics to this song and sent them in a letter after a phone conversation I had with him months ago. I posted the written lyrics up on our home office 'note board,' and Doug and I have been reminding each other of these words whenever we need to hear it (you know.... on 'those days') :) It is comforting because it reminds us that in life, we can only do what we can do, and the rest we can surrender to God (it's liberating, actually). And, that, ulimately, when everything is said and done...."It's going to be alright."
I believe it really will.

Hopes these words also bring you peace today....

Happy Wednesday! Kate :)

Lyrics to It's Going To Be Alright
(Song & Lyrics by Sara Groves--my favorite lyrical songwriter).

It's going to be alright
It's going to be alright

I can tell by your eyes that you're not getting any sleep
And you try to rise above it, but feel you're sinking in too deep
Oh, oh I believe, I believe that

It's going to be alright
It's going to be alright

I believe you'll outlive this pain in you heart
And you'll gain such a strength from what is tearing you apart
Oh, oh I believe I believe that

It's going to be alright
It's going to be alright

When some time has past us, and the story is retold
It will mirror the strength and the courage in your soul

Oh, oh, I believe I believe,I believe I believe

I did not come here to offer you clichÈ's I will not pretend to know of all your pain
Just when you cannot, then I will hold out faith, for you...

It's going to be alright
It's going to be alright
