Through It All

Today is my birthday. The big 2 - 7. Seems like so much older than 26 for some reason. 26 was, "i'm still a young 20-something." 27 is "I'm pushing 30 with 2 kids and a receding hairline and I don't like how the teenagers are wearing 80's meets Tron styles and skinny jeans are not very flattering."

It makes a guy think about where i'm heading. How we're all dust just a breath away from joining the earth again.

Jesus promised this life would be full of trouble, and i've had my share. But through it all Jesus has been my constant hope, peace, and strength.

Through It All (by Aron Paul Kirk) February 2011

The years pass away.
I know that I can't stay.

I hope for the day

I'll see your face.

The wars never cease.

My heart still finds peace.

For you are with me through the grief

Of it all

And through it all-

Through the fire and the flood,

Through the tears and through the blood,

We have hope because of you

Through the darkness and the fears,

Through the trials of the years,

You're with us here

Through it all.

In the stillness of the night

You quietly hold me tight.

Your promise is the night

Of the dawn.

Now the morning starts to rise.

Your light finds my eyes.

I realize that I'm alive

After all.

And through it all-

Through the fire and the flood,

Through the tears and through the blood,

We have hope because of you

Through the darkness and the fears,

Through the trials of the years,

You're with us here

Through it all.

You hear me when I call.

You catch me when I fall.

You are there through it all.
