I Still Believe

Thank you all for your prayers, words of encouragement, smiles, tears, flowers, and presence during this devastating time. I cannot begin to express how much we have felt God's love through all of our friends and family. Our lives will never be the same and we have never felt such loss but I know this: that my daddy is with our Jesus, that he is at peace, and that his love and devotion to us will be carried on through every second of our days ahead. We will never forget who he was, his love for our Lord, the depth of his character, and all that he gave to us. We still have many questions and I know God will surround us with peace, a peace that passes all understanding, but until then we will simply believe. "I Still Believe" -Jeremy Camp Scattered words and empty thougths seem to pour from my heart I've never felt so torn before seems I don't know where to start But it's now that I feel your grace falls like rain from every fingertip, washing away my pain I still believe in your faithfulness I still believe in your truth I still believe in your holy word Even when I don't see I still believe Though the questions still fog up my mind with promises I still seem to bear even when answers slowly unwind It's my heart I see you prepare but it's now that I feel your grace fall like rain from every fingertip, washing away my pain The only place I can go is into your arms where I throw to you my feeble prayers in brokeness I can see that this was your will for me Help me to know you are near Cause' I still believe in your faithfulness I still believe in your truth I still believe in your holy word Even when I don't see you, I still believe.
