_you have me_

I may or may not be avoiding studying for Architectural History at this point.. but I was introduced to this band Gungor (thank you Abby!), and I am in love with this song. Perhaps because it is exactly the way I feel at this moment, and generally in Italy this semester. It is a beautiful, honest song.

And here are the lyrics:

Out on the farthest edge
There in the silence
You were there

My faith was torn to shreds
Heart in the balance
And You were there

Always faithful, always good
You still have me
You still have my heart

I thought I had seen the end
Everything broken
But You were there

I've wandered at heaven's gates
I've made my bed in hell
You were there still

Always faithful, always good
You still have me
You still have my heart

You have me, You have me
You have my heart completely
You have me, You have me
You have my heart completely

You have me, You have me
You have my heart completely
You have me, You have me
You have my heart

You have me, You have me
You have my heart completely
You have me, You have me
You have my heart completely


My heart at this point in the semester is this way. I have felt the silence of being without my close friends, my church, my family.. the normalcy of my life in the US. Sometimes I feel incredibly far away from God too. But through any mistakes, loneliness, adventures..all of it, God was there, and He still has my heart. Even though I may run sometimes, above all my heart is His. Forever.
