I will Rise

A few weeks ago I attended a choir concert here at USU.  I loved every minute of it.  But, they sang a song that has stuck with me and been on my mind literally everyday since I heard it. 
They sang to honor a young  man who clearly had touched many lives. 
And now his memory has touched mine too.

As I listened to this beautiful song, I felt My God.
I felt His spirit stronger than I ever have before.

 

Jesus has overcome

 

I used to think people were crazy for letting themselves hit rock bottom before they sought help

whether from the Savior or from loved ones.

but, I did that.

 

 

I hit rock bottom in the Provo Mall food court with my mom

back in April

I couldn't do it anymore

I finally came to her for help

I was lost, confused, hurt, and abandoned.

I didn't know how to crawl back out of the hole I had got myself in.

I needed her.

 

She told me 

"You will rise above this

You will get beyond this

but,

You have to turn to God.

Becuase he's felt this pain.

and he has overcome it

He's there for you.

Reach up

He'll help."

 

And He did

and He still is helping me

every day

 

I know that God lives

I know that my Savior Jesus Christ

suffered for my sins

I know that He died for me

and I know that He will come again

 

and when he does,

 

I will rise

when He calls my name

No more sorrow

no more pain.

 

And so will you.
