JOURNEY from MOURNING to JOY ~ SONG ~ A 1,000 THINGS

I chose this song, A THOUSAND THINGS to accompany my JOURNEY from MOURNING to JOY and also because it impressed upon me the truths shared by Ann V.(A Holy Experience) in her book, "One Thousand Gifts" and her weekly gathering of bloggers for Multitudes on Monday sharing their GRATITUDE to God ... just because there is more GRIEF and LOSS than a death.
Many have suffered loss or death of something other than a dear loved one dying... and we all grieve while we seek HOPE and COMFORT from the One, who is there in our midst...

A Thousand Things 
You’re gonna cry yourself to sleep   You’re gonna soak the pillow for many weeks You’re gonna cry  Why? Why me?  But in spite of the ache that doesn’t go away  You’ll be sharing your story one rainy day And at the next table somebody catches your words He hears a truth that he’s never heard  He takes it back to the marriage he’d given up on Hands it down to his daughter who writes it into song You didn’t know A thousand things are happening tonight

You’re gonna cry yourself to sleep
‘cause for the moment all that you can see 

Is what you’ve lost, lost

Why me?

But in the midst of the most exquisite pain 

You’re drawn into a peace that you cannot explain 

and the praises you sing of a sovereign God 

reach the girl whose last hope is gone 

she never thought there was purpose in anything here 

now the seed has been planted and it’s taking root there 

You didn’t know

Chorus 

A thousand things are happening tonight 

You’re gonna cry yourself to sleep 

A thousand miracles you’ll have to wait and see
