I included the lyrics at the bottom of the video, in case you have trouble making out the words.
I was standing in the pour raining
One dark November night
Fighting off the bitter cold
When she caught my eye
Her face was torn and her eyes were filled
And then to my surprise
She pulled out a photograph
And my heart just stopped inside
She said He would have been three today
I miss his smile, I miss his face
What was I supposed to say
But I believe always always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all hope is gone
God knows our pain and His promise remains
He will be with you always
He was living in a broken world dreaming of a home
His heart was barely keeping pace
When I found him all alone
Remembering the way he felt
When his daddy said goodbye
Fighting just to keep the tears
And the anger locked inside
He's barely holding on to faith
But deliverance is on its way
'Cuz I believe always always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all hope is gone
God knows our pain and His promise remains
He will be with you always
Friend I don't know where you are
And I don't know where you've been
Maybe you're fighting for your life
Or just about to throw the towel in
But if you're crying out for mercy
If there's no hope left at all
If you've given everything you've got
And you're still about to fall
Well hold on, hold on, hold on
Cuz I believe always always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all faith is gone
God knows our pain and His promise remains
Always, Always
He will be with you always
He will be with you always
He will be with you
I was standing in the pour raining
One dark November night
Fighting off the bitter cold
When she caught my eye
Her face was torn and her eyes were filled
And then to my surprise
She pulled out a photograph
And my heart just stopped inside
She said He would have been three today
I miss his smile, I miss his face
What was I supposed to say
But I believe always always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all hope is gone
God knows our pain and His promise remains
He will be with you always
He was living in a broken world dreaming of a home
His heart was barely keeping pace
When I found him all alone
Remembering the way he felt
When his daddy said goodbye
Fighting just to keep the tears
And the anger locked inside
He's barely holding on to faith
But deliverance is on its way
'Cuz I believe always always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all hope is gone
God knows our pain and His promise remains
He will be with you always
Friend I don't know where you are
And I don't know where you've been
Maybe you're fighting for your life
Or just about to throw the towel in
But if you're crying out for mercy
If there's no hope left at all
If you've given everything you've got
And you're still about to fall
Well hold on, hold on, hold on
Cuz I believe always always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all faith is gone
God knows our pain and His promise remains
Always, Always
He will be with you always
He will be with you always
He will be with you

Yes, It was worth it! Mike and I watched it the other day and were both blown away. Thanks for sharing it with us. I love you.
Hey sis, thanks for the lyrics to the "Always" song. I coudn't understand them and was going to try after the kids got on the bus and when I got here the lyrics were here. Like you were reading my mind. Freeky! Love you tons!
that video has been making its rounds, and for good reason. so beautiful and such an inspiration.
Question: you talk about going to work, what is your profession? I really enjoy your blog.
Praying for you. Thanks for the video...she can really sing. The looks on the judges faces said it all and the standing ovation etc. should change this woman's life.
May you feel the comfort of His presence today and may your day be filled with the Sonshine of His love.
OK...my AMW question is this...What should I do with Patrick?? He has been sent to the principls office three times this year today being #3. This time it was because he was disruptive in gym class...much better than the last time he was there (thank you God!!) But I just don't know what to do with him and I am afraid he is going to get worse as he ages, he's only 8 but does not like to follow rules. What ever wisdom you might have on this is needed, I got nothin!! Love you tons sis!
Dear Janine,
What do you think of middle schoolers taking summer courses for high school credit? Is is overzealous or a good idea?
