Washed By The Water by Needtobreathe

Even when the rain falls
Even when the flood starts rising
Even when the storm comes
I am washed by the water

Daddy was a preacher
She was his wife
Just tryin to make the world a little better
You know, shine a light
People started talking
Trying to hear their own voice
Those people tried to accuse my father
Said he made the wrong choice
Though it might be painful
You know that time will always tell
Those people have long since gone
My father never failed

Even if the Earth crumbles under my feet
Even if the ones I love turn around and crucify me
I won’t never ever let you down
I won’t fall
I won’t fall
I won’t fall as long as you’re around me

Over the past few weeks this song has really encouraged me. If you have known me for long enough you'll know that my family went through quite a rough time when my dad (who was a pastor) was required to resign from the church we had called home for years.

I remember so vividly what it was like when the rain was falling and the floods were rising. It was utter chaos. I didn't know where to turn. Thankfully the Lord cleansed us and we have seen so much fruit come out of my families sorrow.

I think that the what this song says is so true. It doesn't matter what is happening around us, we won't fall as long as the Lord is around us - and He has promised to never leave us nor forsake us.
