Where Could I Go But To The Lord

There are many people that I love who are going through some really bad times in their lives. I have a friend who lost her job, moved half way across the country and can’t find a job in her new state. I have a friend who recently lost her beloved husband to cancer. I have another friend whose son was badly burned in an accidental explosion. On my own I can’t help these dear friends of mine…where could I go but to the Lord.

I can talk with my friends, encourage them, weep with them, and be available when they want to talk but without the loving Father as my guide I can’t help them. How inadequate that makes me feel, yet I know that God will hear my prayers and their prayers and take all their troubles in his hands.

I have often wondered how people can survive life’s tragedies without God. While we can’t see him or touch him we have been taught by faith that he is with us every step of the way. Many times doubts and fears hinder our faith; I believe that Jesus understands our fears and doubts. In the scripture he blesses those that have not seen or touched him but are living by faith alone.

I can’t express how much I want to help my friends with loving words, encouraging thoughts and positive reinforcement to their wounded hearts. I am just a humble person that believes that in any situation I must ask “where could I go but to the Lord.”

Sincerely,
Sandy

Where Can I Go But To The Lord
Living below in this old sinful world
Hardly a comfort can afford
Striving alone to face temptation so
Now won't you tell me

Where could I go but to the Lord
Where could I go oh where could I go
Seeking the refuge for my soul
Needing a friend to save me in the end
Won't you tell me
Where could I go but to the Lord

Life here is grand with friends I love so dear
Comfort I get from God's own word
Yet when I face that chilling hand of death
Won't you tell me
Where could I go but to the Lord

Where could I go but to the Lord
Where could I go oh where could I go
Seeking the refuge for my soul
Needing a friend to save me in the end
Won't you tell me
Where could I go but to the Lord

Living below in this old sinful world
Hardly a comfort can afford
Striving alone to face temptation so
Now won't you tell me

Where could I go but to the Lord
Where could I go oh where could I go
Seeking the refuge for my soul
Needing a friend to save me in the end
Won't you tell me
Where could I go but to the Lord

Life here is grand with friends I love so dear
Comfort I get from God's own word
Yet when I face that chilling hand of death
Won't you tell me
Where could I go but to the Lord

Where could I go but to the Lord
Where could I go oh where could I go
Seeking the refuge for my soul
Needing a friend to save me in the end
Won't you tell me
Where could I go but to the Lord
