Songs and gloomy days

I have had a lot of low periods in my life, periods when I thought it was me against the world, No one else cared, I was the only one going through what I was going through,there was no way out of it, I was hopeless and helpless....and the list is unending. In these periods I am unreasonable, work myself up into an almost depressed state and once or twice even entertained suicidal thoughts..(I no get liver sha).

I have had such periods one time too many in my life. looking back now, I realise the one thing that got me through them were songs. I love music, especially christian contemporary music. They have a way of preaching to me like no Pastor can. They have an unassuming, unsuspecting way of bringing God's word to me, such that it sinks in. They have seen me through failure, heartaches, heart breaks and pain. One of such songs is "City on our Knees" by Tobymac. I will share the lyrics of the song with you and maybe, just maybe you can catch a glimpse of what I mean.


If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave

Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It’s all up tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave

Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It’s all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh

Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
Tonight could last forever
Ooh
Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
As family
We’re family
Oh Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
You and me
Ya, you and me
Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a glorious display
Cuz its all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
If we gotta start somewhere why not here
If we gotta start sometime why not now

Have a blessed day!!
