Never Alone- Hillsong Part One
Sorry for the delay. I was experiencing technical difficulties attempting to post lyrics of two songs on the same post...
Another part of my rescue story is definitely the relationships I’ve made in the past year (separate post to come on some of that).
I've realized now that I'm a "communal living" type of person. I've never really LOVED being alone. Truth can hurt.
I believe now that God needed to get me into the desert alone. I was leaning on other relationships too much.
I don’t want to discount the good friends I’ve had for a long time. I’m so grateful for the many friendships I have. But there never seemed to be enough time for the real, heavy, deep stuff to come to the surface. We (as in society) are too distracted, busy, hurried, and searching for something somewhere else.
In the last year I’ve become closer to friends I already had and have met some new people that I can’t imagine my life without.
Walking into darkness, whatever it may entail, is usually a very LONLEY existence. It's supposed to be.
Maybe that’s why we want to leave the desert so badly and quickly... it hurts to be so lonely.
Gratefully, this desert has provided the time to develop some SERIOUSLY awesome/deeper relationships; with God, myself, my husband and others.
This next song is a newer one that my husband introduced me to. The first time I heard it I most definitely cried.
It really spoke to my heart reminding me that we were/are/will NEVER be alone no matter what is happening.
I could make a SERIOUSLY long post with Hillsong lyrics (too late??), so there will be part one and two...
I encourage you to listen to a few of their songs even if you don’t make it through all the lyrics here.

Another In The Fire -Hillsong UNITED
There's a grace when the heart is under fire
Another way when the walls are closing in
And when I look at the space between
Where I used to be and this reckoning
I know I will never be alone
Another way when the walls are closing in
And when I look at the space between
Where I used to be and this reckoning
I know I will never be alone
There was another in the fire
Standing next to me
There was another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
Of how I've been set free
There is a cross that bears the burden
Where another died for me
There is another in the fire
Standing next to me
There was another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
Of how I've been set free
There is a cross that bears the burden
Where another died for me
There is another in the fire
All my debt left for dead beneath the waters
I'm no longer a slave to my sin anymore
And should I fall in the space between
What remains of me and this reckoning
Either way I won't bow to the things of this world
And I know I will never be alone
I'm no longer a slave to my sin anymore
And should I fall in the space between
What remains of me and this reckoning
Either way I won't bow to the things of this world
And I know I will never be alone
There is another in the fire
Standing next to me
There is another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
What power set me free
There is a grave that holds no body
And now that power lives in me
Standing next to me
There is another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
What power set me free
There is a grave that holds no body
And now that power lives in me
