Your Love Remains

It's been a rough week for me. Emotionally drained and physically exhausted has been the order of the day. I often feel like I'm running and running but getting nowhere. I'm so absorbed in the next task (usually not the current one) that I lose sight of my hope. And then I end up miserable and broken. So this morning before I got out of bed, I got a phone call. I don't know what it is, but any time my phone is in my hand, I just have to check Facebook. Blah. Anyway, one of my friends posted a link to this video, which really brought me back to that moment at Faithwalkers when Steele was singing this, and I was right down by the front of the stage, and I put down my camera and broke down. This song can't be more true. When all my crap piles up and I can't see over the top of it and feel worthless, God's love for me is unchanged. When I am so distracted that I can't seem to do anything, God's love is as focused as ever. I am forever grateful for Steele. He is by far one of my most passionate, give-everything men I have ever met. His tender heart allows him to write songs like this. Songs that remind other people of God's unbelievable grace.



Your Love Remains
Words and Music by Steele Croswhite


When I don’t feel it
When I don’t give it
When I don’t want it…your love remains

When I don’t see it
When I am sinful
When I am winning…your love remains

When I am waking
When I am working
When I am resting…your love remains

When I am doubting
When I am fighting
As I do worry….your love remains

When I am tired
When I am broken
When I am resistant…your love remains

When I am lonely
Or when I’m surrounded
When I am uncertain…your love remains

When I am tempted
When I am mourning
When I am waiting…your love remains

When I am restless
When I am indifferent
When I am un-focused……your love remains

When you renewed me
When you restored me
When you redeem me…your love remains

When you come claim me
When this life is over
In your arms forever….I will remain
