A new song

After a great day spent with friends, I sat down to a yummy dinner of fish tacos with my little family.  After dinner Dane played with Boston (I could hear constant giggles coming from the living room) while I cleaned the giant mess of a kitchen and as an extra treat Daddy decided he wanted to put Boston to bed.  I actually really enjoy rocking Boss before bed, but I also don't mind Daddy stepping in every now and then.  Now Dane is doing some work, while I sit in a spotless house (isn't that the best feeling?) with dessert cooking in the oven.  Poor Boss...he always misses dessert.

As I'm fiddling away on my computer an amazing song I've never heard, popped up on my Pandora (LDS hymns of worship station, in case you're interested).  This song speaks to me and it's something I'll store away for a moment when I really need to hear these words.

Perfect Peace by Laura Story

Stay close by My side,
Keep your eyes on Me,
Though this life is hard,
I will give you perfect peace,

In this time of trial,
Pain that no one sees,
Trust me when I say,
I will give you perfect peace,

And you'll never walk alone,
And you'll never be in need,
Though I may not calm the storms around you,
You can hide in Me,

Burdens that you bear,
Offer no relief,
Let Me bear your load,
Cause I will give you perfect peace,

Stay close by My side,
And you'll never walk alone,
Keep your eyes on Me,
And you will never be in need,
Though this life is hard,
Know that I will always give you perfect peace,
I will give you perfect peace...

For obvious reasons this song speaks to me.  Over the last couple years I've been learning to let the Savior bear my burdens with me, especially when I feel I can't take anymore on and I've found peace, even in unchanged circumstances, even in times of anxiety (which to me is the opposite of peace).  I'm glad I have that knowledge that the Savior is there whenever I need him.  Some people don't know that, or don't believe it, and I feel sad for them, because I don't know how they bear their burdens without that hope, and faith in a higher power. 

Here's a link to the song.
