I've had this song on my iPod for a long, long time and yesterday it came on and I took time to listen to the words...and I was blown away.
Sometimes the journey makes you weary
Feels like a long and winding road
Sometimes this life can lose it's meaning
But you might be surprised to find some hope.
Maybe you're wondering where love is
You may feel it's far away from here
Maybe you're wondering where I am
You might be surprised to find I'm near
Chorus:
And when your life is tossed and turning
And you are on the raging sea
I'll come and pull you from the water
Then you will know that you are free
So if you're stumbling through the valley
Or if you're tempted to give up the fight
Reach out your hand and I will lead you
I will be your strong arm in the night.
Take time. Time for yourself. Take time. Time to look around and see if anyone close to you is in the 'sea' - and be the one to pull them out. I realize that this song has a double meaning. The first is that Jesus Christ is love and that He is ever near to those who love Him and He will pull you out and set you on the solid rock. The second is that friends and family love and they can show interest and attention, so that when "your life is tossed and turning", they can help :)
Here is the song if you want to listen:
