“Yours”
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008This week Steven Curtis Chapman released his latest Single to radio. It is a song he wrote before Maria’s passing with an added verse he wrote after.
This was an amazing song when first released on the This Moment album back in October. Now with the new verse its heart breaking and uplifting at the same time.
In the 4 years since we placed Amanda in the arms of Jesus I have never been able to accurately express what that experience felt like. I am not a writer I search for the right words but they don’t always come out how I mean them to, or they seem to be missing something. Well in these few lines added to this song Steven has managed to put into words exactly how I felt and feel.
I’ve walked the valley of death’s shadow
So deep and dark that I could barely breathe
I’ve had to let go of more than I could bear
And questioned everything that I believe
But still even here
in this great darkness
A comfort and hope come breaking through
As I can say in life or death
God we belong to you.
Steven and Mary Beth Chapman will be on Good Morning America tomorrow morning and then on Larry King Live on Thursday night. Praying so hard for them this week as they open their aching hearts to the world.
