DIG DOWN

Dig Down

Snippet

The bigness of the world is redemption. Despair compresses you into a small space, and a depression is literally a hollow in the ground. To dig deeper into the self, to go underground, is sometimes necessary, but so is the other route of getting out of yourself, into the larger world, into the openness in which you need not clutch your story and your troubles so tightly to your chest.  Rebecca Solnit

Scripture

What I always feared has happened to me.

    What I dreaded has come true.

I have no peace, no quietness.

    I have no rest; only trouble comes.” Job 2:25,26 NLT

When hope and love has been lost

And you fall to the ground

You must find a way

When the darkness descends

And you're told it's the end

You must find a way

When God decides to look the other way

And a clown takes the throne

We must find a way

Face the firing squad

Against all the odds

You will find a way

Dig down

Dig down

Dig down

And find faith

When you're close to the edge

With a gun to your head

You must find a way

When friends are thin on the ground

And they try to divide us

We must find a way

We have entered the fray

And we will not obey

We must find a way

Yeah

Dig down

Dig down

Dig down

And find faith

When they've left you for dead

(Dig down)

And you can only see red

(Dig down)

You must find a way

Dig down

Dig down

Dig down

Find faith

We won't let them divide

(Dig down)

We will never abide

(Dig down)

We will find a way

Dig down

Dig down

Dig down

Faith

Dig down

Dig down

Faith

Sentence Prayer

Father

Give me the strength to dig down deep, to discover the steel will

to praise You whether it is sun or rain.  To live fearfully and obediently under Your mighty hand, no matter what may come.  Amen REM
