The video below is of a song that I had not heard until it was recommended by a friend of mine on his blog. I can’t pretend to understand exactly what he’s feeling being separated from his wife for training and deployment to Iraq, so I would just encourage you to read these posts that he wrote and watch the video below.
When I saw the video and read the lyrics I was touched by the weight of loss and loneliness that some people feel daily, and reminded that there are people out there, like my friend and his wife, who make daily sacrifices that most of us can only begin to understand by watching a video. I fully admit that I don’t know what it feels like to be separated from my spouse to fight a war that I would rather disagree with from the safety of my home, or what it feels like to be that spouse having the worry of safety for her husband. Daily. Just praying that that call will not come.
And so, I encourage you to remember those that you love who might be going through the darkest part of their lives, and to pray for them. Pray that the God of all comfort will light up their lives with His love and sustain them with His hope. And remember, that although His ways are too high for us to understand, the King is still in control. We can put our trust in Him knowing that He does good work.
Mountain High
Delirious
Was the longest day, was the loneliest day
Sorrow came to steal our hope away
Only tears can tell
Of this holy hour
This mountain’s high, too high for us
This mountain’s high, too high for us
Sorrow came quicker than a fire
Was the longest day, was the loneliest day
I feel your hand, the warmth, your sweetest smile
But you slipped away, through the great divide
This mountain’s high, too high for us
This mountain’s high, too high for us
Your ways are high, too high for us
Your ways are high, too high for us
