We Won't Be Shaken

Have y'all heard the new Building 429 song? I just love the message.
I love that it emphasizes whatever might come our way, regardless of how scary, how fierce, how uncertain, or how high & unreachable that mountain in the distance seems to be, in Christ, we won't be shaken.

We are all guaranteed to face the fires and storms of life. It's not an if, but a when. It's just part of being human and living in a messy world. But that is why God didn't put us on this Earth and leave us all by our lonesome.

We have each other. Together. A community.
Infertility. Miscarriage. Family dysfunction. Illness. Eating Disorder.
 Name it what you want. 
The list is endless.
But we don't have to weather these storms alone. 
We do so one day at a time, hand in hand. 
Together.
We won't be shaken. 

This world has nothing for me
This life is not my own
I know you go before me
And I am not alone
This mountain rises higher
This way seems so unclear
But I know that you go with me

So I will never fear 
I will trust in you

Whatever will come our way
Through fire or pouring rain
We won't be shaken
No we won't be shaken
Whatever tomorrow brings
Together we'll rise and sing
That we won't be shaken
Oooh Oh Oh
Oooh Oh Oh
Oooh Oh Oh
No we won't be shaken

You know my every longing
You've heard my every prayer
You've held me in my weakness
Cause you are always there
So I'll stand in full surrender
It's your way and not my own
My mind is set on nothing less
Than you and you alone
I will not be moved oh

Whatever will come our way
Through fire or pouring rain
We won't be shaken
No we won't be shaken
Whatever tomorrow brings
Together we'll rise and sing
That we won't be shaken

We will trust in you
We will not be moved
We will trust in you

And we won't be shaken
