Reach Out!

A short while ago, Karen and I went across town to find a park and attend a tree lighting ceremony. It was cold and wet, so we opted for the comfort of a nearby mall. As we walked in Macy's I knew the Lord was playing a song just for me in the overhead speakers. We've had some dark times in Charlotte, although we both know that the Lord wants us here for this training. I found some great encouragement from these lyrics:

"Reach Out I'll Be There" by The Four Tops, 1966

Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all your hope is gone
And your life is filled with confusion
And happiness is just an illusion
And your world around is tumblin' down
Darling, reach out
Reach out, for me.

I'll be there to love and comfort you...(tell me baby)
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through

Now when you're lost and about to give up
'cause your best just ain't good enough
and you feel the world has grown cold
and you're driftin' on your own
when you need a hand to hold
darling, reach out
reach out, for me.

I'll be there to love and comfort you
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through

I'll be there to love and comfort you
I'll be there to with the love I'll see you through

I can tell you the way I hang your head
Now with out of love , now you're afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found

I know what you're thinking
Witout love, now you're alone
Baby, reach out
Reach out for me

I'll be there to love and comfort you
I'll be there with the Love I'll see you through

I'll be there to love and comfort you
Tell me baby
I'll be there to always see you through
I'll be there

I'll be there to love and comfort you
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through.
