I woke up this morning hearing an unfamiliar song. I hummed it, and knew that I knew it, but I could not place it, so I prayed to know it and immediately the words began to play into my thoughts "When you try your best but you don't succeed...Lights will guide you home" and I envisioned (no I didn't see them) bright, round yellow lights representing God and his holy angels that guard me, as these symbolic lights of the song are indeed guiding me home to heaven. I envisioned myself being sweetly, and lovingly guarded today and all the days of my life. How thankful I am for spiritual musical moments.
Fix You
By Coldplay
When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
When you're too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from all my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I
I promise you I will learn from all my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Later this afternoon I was waiting outside Deseret Book in the rain. My 15 year old had gone in to see if her favorie book was in yet! (The 5 Kingdom Series). I was sitting there surrounding by giggling children in the back of the van, who were making sandwhiches out of different colored Laffy Taffy candies. But despite the joy of my 3 youngest children, and a neighbor friend ("my adopted daughter") I was feeling a great sense of betrayal and mistrust over external events in my life. My heart was beginning to ache and wonder how I can continue to face people that hurt me with their jealousy and gossip. The rain seemed to be crying the tears my heart feels. And, again, in a sweet spiritual moment a song played into my thoughts--- The Angel Carol. I got teary eyed, but I express thanks to God for the angels that attend to me night and day. I took comfort in knowing that I will never be alone, and I will always be understood, and that I have the Savior Jesus Christ, who is my guiding star in life. I was comforted.
1. Have you heard the sounds
of the angel voices ringing out so sweetly,
ringing out so clear?
Have you seen the star shining out so brightly
as a sign from God that Christ the Lord is here?
Have you heard the news that they bring from heaven
to the humble shepherds who have waited long?
Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Hear the angels sing their joyful song.
2. He is come in peace in the winter's stillness,
2. He is come in peace in the winter's stillness,
like a snowfall in the gentle night.
He is come in joy.
He is come in joy,
like the sun at morning,
filling all the world with radiance and with light.
He is come in love as the child of Mary.
In a simple stable we have seen his birth.
Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Hear the angels singing 'Peace on earth'.
3. He will bring new light.
3. He will bring new light.
He will bring new light to a world in darkness,
like a bright star shining in the skies above.
He will bring new hope.
He will bring new hope to the waiting nations.
When he comes to reign in purity and love.
Let the earth rejoice.
Let the earth rejoice at the Saviour's coming.
Let the heavens answer with the joyful morn:
Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Hear the angels singing, 'Christ is born'
May you keep your eyes on the light of Christ, and search diligently to find him even in your darkest hours. Hearts and minds, individual, families, and communities can be healed through His atoning power, of that I am absolutely sure. He will never betray or abandon me, or you! His love is endless!
