Lord You are always here with me

Back in the days where I was still *cough* young and studying in IMU, this was a favourite song in CF and DUMC. It was a song that really spoke to me; a song I remember loving so much that I wrote down the lyrics and memorized on the LRT one Sat afternoon going down to Plaza Rakyat.

Yet, somehow we always couldn't find the origin of this song or who wrote it. Linda, Su Chuen (if u don't know who they are, it shows how old I am) all couldn't despite trawling the internet.

Two years later, I am no longer in IMU. Many circumstances have changed, difficult moments have shaken me. There seem to be no fast answers nor magic solutions to problems. The night seems to stretch more than days, more than months..going into years.

I must confess that when I heard this song again in DUMC, in our new building, my heart was numb. It seemed so long ago when I last sung this song with real hope.

Yet the song stuck in a forgotten part of my consciousness.
And today, on a whim, I searched for this song, praying that somehow I'll find it, but believing that I won't because I am so used to getting silence or the opposite from God.

Low and behold, somehow, this song is now on the internet!

A small gesture, but so important to my hope starved soul.

I pray that even as we (especially I) journey in this thing call life with its trials and storms, we will remember that God doesn't and has not forgotten us.
