song ~ no matter what

No Matter What
by Kerrie Roberts

I’m running back to Your promises
one more time
Lord that’s all I can hold on to
I gotta say this has taken me
by surprise,
but nothing surprises You
Before a heartache
can ever touch my life
It has to go through Your hands
And even though I
keep asking why,
I keep asking why


No matter what,
I’m gonna love You
No matter what
I’m gonna need You
I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, if not, I’ll trust You
no matter what,
no matter what


When I’m stuck and there’s nothing else
by myself
I’m just sitting in silence
There’s no way I can make it
without Your help,
I won’t even try it
I know You have Your reasons
for everything
so I will keep believing
whatever I might be feeling,
God You are my hope
and You will be my strength


No matter what,
I’m gonna love You
No matter what
I’m gonna need You
I know You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, if not,
I’ll trust You
no matter what,
no matter what


Anything I don’t have
You can give it to me,
but it’s OK if You don’t
I’m not here for those things
The touch of Your love is enough on its own


No matter what
I still love You
and I’m gonna need You
No matter what
I’m gonna love You,
no matter what
I’m gonna need You
I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, if not,
I’ll trust You
I know You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, but if not,
I’ll trust You
No matter what
No matter no matter what
No matter no matter what
No matter no matter what

Day 3 - Proberbs 31 Challenge

10 Who can find a wife with a strong character? She is worth far more than jewels.  11 Her husband trusts her with all his heart, and he does not lack anything good.  12 She helps him and never harms him all the days of her life.  13 She seeks out wool and linen with care and works with willing hands. 14 She is like merchant ships. She brings her food from far away.  15 She wakes up while it is still dark and gives food to her family and portions of food to her female slaves. 16 She picks out a field and buys it. She plants a vineyard from the profits she has earned. 17 She puts on strength like a belt and goes to work with energy. 18 She sees that she is making a good profit.  Her lamp burns late at night.  19 She puts her hands on the distaff, and her fingers hold a spindle.  20 She opens her hands to oppressed people and stretches them out to needy people.  21 She does not fear for her family when it snows because her whole family has a double layer of clothing.  22 She makes quilts for herself.  Her clothes are made of linen and purple cloth.  23 Her husband is known at the city gates when he sits with the leaders of the land.  24 She makes linen garments and sells them and delivers belts to the merchants.  25 She dresses with strength and nobility, and she smiles at the future.  26 She speaks with wisdom, and on her tongue there is tender instruction.  27 She keeps a close eye on the conduct of her family, and she does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children and her husband stand up and bless her. In addition, he sings her praises, by saying, 29 ‘Many women have done noble work, but you have surpassed them all!’ 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty evaporates, but a woman who has the fear of the Lord should be praised.  31 Reward her for that she has done, and let her achievements praise her at the city gates.  [Gods Word translation]
 
My nuggets from today:
17 She puts on strength like a belt and goes to work with energy.
25 She dresses with strength and nobility.
