My God is There

A few days back my at the Halili residence (close family friends at the church my family and I used to attend) we talked about the past which involved church concerts, hang outs, and other activities since my mom was active with the church (she was the choir director then). Then my sister hummed a song I wasn't familiar with. I asked what song was that and she said it was "My God is there" and that mum wrote it.

Today as I was working on concepts of what piece to make next, I thought of the song and asked my sister to send me the lyrics. After reading it, I said to myself: I can't paint this. Not now. The words were too strong for me no matter how simple it was.

My mom was a brilliant musician. She could play several instruments (10+ if I'm not mistaken). She wrote a numerous number of songs. She was God fearing. She read the Bible several times from Geneseis to Revelations. And she died because of cancer when I was 10. If I'm not mistaken, this was the song she wrote when she didn't want to go thru a second round of chemotherapy.

My God is there

Though I don’t see Him

My God is there

Though dark the way

When all looks hopeless

When life seems endless

And only tears are on my bed

People say it’s all my fault Lord

The blame’s on me

How can it be?

Are they all right Lord?

And I all wrong Lord?

That can’t be true

Because there was You

So take my life

Refine it more

Don’t hesitate because I’m sure

When it’s all done

The battle’s won

Because you were there

This picture was taken by my dad so you can say this is a family picture.

It's good to know that my God is there with her. I miss my mom. 

Our God is there everyone!:)
