These Small Hours (Repost - sort of)



I posted this video back in May of this year. I loved the song then and I still do. Life is full of peaks and valleys for all of us, but God never intended for us to struggle through by ourselves. For that I am so very grateful. If you're in a valley right now, hang in there.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. - Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV)

I get overwhelmed by life sometimes; by all the "things to do" that never seem to all get done, the day to day grind, trying to live up to a standard I will never achieve. And while I am incredibly, inexplicably fortunate in so many ways, still there are disappointments; things that "could have been" that never will be. But I am beginning to truly understand that life is more about the moments, the small hours. And when I'm feeling sorry for myself, I remember all the small hours, where my heart resides.



Little Wonders
Let it go,
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know
The hardest part is over
Let it in,
Let your clarity define you
In the end
We will only just remember how it feels

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain

Let it slide,
Let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine
Until you feel it all around you
And i don't mind
If it's me you need to turn to
We'll get by,
It's the heart that really matters in the end

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain

All of my regret
Will wash away some how
But i can not forget
The way i feel right now

In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists & turns of fate
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away but these small hours
These small hours, still remain,
Still remain
These little wonders
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These little wonders still remain



Indeed...

I loved this song when you first posted it, and I still do. That doesn't mean I want it playing in my head all night though, which is what's going to happen now. So gee, thanks...

Hang in there my dear Katdish... We all go through those valleys, sometimes self-inflicted, I might add. Yes, God is in every sacred moment. If only we can engage our brain to take it in.

Still a great song (and I actually love that movie too). Like Billy said, it'll be stuck in my head for days now, but I'll forgive you... eventually.

Keep Moving Forward.

(In keeping with the movie theme.)
