A Song for Our Souls

There are lots and lots of things I love in this world, and one of the closest things to my heart that I love is the church that I go to. Highlands Church in Denver, Colorado is a place and a group of people that each and every time that I'm there shows me the love of God. Josh and I felt it the very first time we were there in September 2013 and each time since. In June 2015 we had my Surgery Blessingway Prayer Circle there and so many came to support me and pray for us before my mastectomy.

Before each service, someone reads our ethos:

Married, divorced or single here, it’s one family that mingles here.
Conservative or liberal here, we’ve all gotta give a little here.
Big or small here, there’s room for us all here.
Doubt or believe here, we all can receive here.
Gay or straight here, there’s no hate here.
Woman or man here, everyone can here.
Whatever your race here, for all of us grace here.
In imitation of the ridiculous love Almighty God has for each of us and all of us,
let us live and love without labels!

This summer the Worship Pastor has been on sabbatical and we had the opportunity to have an "Artist in Residence" at our church. How cool is that?! I first heard Heatherlyn's amazing voice and powerful music couple of years ago when she first visited our church. The words in her songs and poetry are so beautiful. The second time I heard her play this song, she invited all of us to participate by closing our eyes and sending this song energetically to someone (could even be ourselves) while she sang it. It was an incredible experience!

So... wherever you are at... whether you need this song sung over you... or you know of someone who needs this song sung over them... I encourage you to spend 4 minutes with this song and your soul.

You're Not Alone by Heatherlyn Music

You're not alone
You're not forgotten
You are protected and provided for

I know sometimes we're screaming inside
I know sometimes it feels like such a fight

But you're not alone
You're not alone

Let me hold you now as you sob it out
Let me hear you reason
til your tongue is as dry as your eyes
Let me close my arms around you
and your heart's open wounds
Nothing stays the same
It's got to pass sometime soon
But in the meantime
I will sing to you

That you're not alone
You're not forgotten
You are protected and provided for

I know sometimes you're screaming inside
I know somtimes it feels like such a fight

But you're not alone
You're not alone

As you're lying here on the floor
Let me tell you there's nothing
to be ashamed of anymore
Sometimes you got to break down
to finally break through
You took the trust fall
Now I'm catching you
And I will always, always catch you

Cause you're not alone
You're not forgotten
You are protected and provided for

I know sometimes you're screaming inside
I know sometimes it feels like such a fight

But you're not alone
You're not alone
