Lately, I've found myself thinking about the concept of "faithfulness," particularly in my relationship with Jesus

My friend Lori burnt me a CD the other day and I stumbled upon this song, track #17 on her cd, by a band called The Assemblie. I'd never heard it before but I was immediately captivated by the lyrics. It seemed as though they were communicating something I had never been able to find words for. Check it out.

DARKNESS FALLS

The battle rages on deep down within me
My flesh pulls one way
Your will pulls the other
This battle must be won
And it’s mine to fight
You know I long to be victorious

When the darkness falls
And I am at my weakest point
Let me be found faithful

As the years go by
And You look back on all I’ve done
Let me be found faithful

What good are my intentions without convictions
Come stir my inner being
Beyond all emotion
What good are my successes without holiness
I could gain the world and still be without You

You are brilliant
Shining like the stars
When You look down on me
I hope You’re pleased with me

You are brilliant shining like the stars
When I see Your face
I long to hear You say
Well done child, well done child
Well done child
You’ve been faithful

This is Lori. She and I both communicate
through the love language of music, which
is probably why we get along so well :)
