Sarah Groves is a singer/songwriter who sometimes says exactly what I need to hear. When we first came and I felt absolutely overwhelmed and inadequate I played her song, "You Are the Sun" over and over on my iPod as I walked around town. It reminded me that all that was required of me as a 'moon' was to reflect the light of my Sun. And that I needed to keep my face turned to Him! "Without You (Him) I'm a cold dark stone....."
The other day I heard another of her songs for the first time. It's the perfect song of someone who probably went expecting to give and ended up receiving so much more in return. It speaks my heart for the women that we serve here. They've inspired me and I will never be the same.
I saw what I saw and I can't forget it
I heard what I heard and I can't go back
I know what I know and I can't deny it
Something on the road
Cut me to the soul
Your pain has changed me
Your dream inspires
Your face a memory
Your hope a fire
Your courage asks me what I'm afraid of
And what I know of love ...........
...........I say what I say with no hesitation
I have what I have and I'm giving it up
I do what I do with deep conviction
Something on the road, cut me to the soul
Your pain has changed me
Your dream inspires
Your face a memory
Your hope a fire
Your courage asks me what I am afraid of
Your courage asks me what I am made of
Your courage asks me what I am afraid of
And what I know of God,
And what I know of God.
I Saw What I Saw by Sarah Groves
