"Even If" is a beautiful song by MercyMe.
It just won the K-Love award on the categories "Song of the year"
and "Group or duo of the year".
I love the lyrics!
"Even If"
They say sometimes you win some
Sometimes you lose some
And right now, right now I'm losing bad
I've stood on this stage night after night
Reminding the broken it'll be alright
But right now, oh right now I just can't
It's easy to sing
When there's nothing to bring me down
But what will I say
When I'm held to the flame
Like I am right now
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
They say it only takes a little faith
To move a mountain
Good thing
A little faith is all I have right now
But God, when You choose
To leave mountains unmovable
Give me the strength to be able to sing
It is well with my soul
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
I know the sorrow, and I know the hurt
Would all go away if You'd just say the word
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
You've been faithful, You've been good
All of my days
Jesus, I will cling to You
Come what may
‘Cause I know You're able
I know You can
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
I know the sorrow, and I know the hurt
Would all go away if You'd just say the word
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
-MercyMe Sometimes you lose some
And right now, right now I'm losing bad
I've stood on this stage night after night
Reminding the broken it'll be alright
But right now, oh right now I just can't
It's easy to sing
When there's nothing to bring me down
But what will I say
When I'm held to the flame
Like I am right now
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
They say it only takes a little faith
To move a mountain
Good thing
A little faith is all I have right now
But God, when You choose
To leave mountains unmovable
Give me the strength to be able to sing
It is well with my soul
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
I know the sorrow, and I know the hurt
Would all go away if You'd just say the word
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
You've been faithful, You've been good
All of my days
Jesus, I will cling to You
Come what may
‘Cause I know You're able
I know You can
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
I know the sorrow, and I know the hurt
Would all go away if You'd just say the word
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
No one who quits a goal achieves it.
So today no matter where you are, no matter if you failed,
no matter how many people tell you that you can't do it...
Keep going!
What could we accomplish if we simply didn’t quit?
So...keep going and tell yourself:
I DON'T QUIT!
We never give up.
Our bodies are gradually dying, but we ourselves are being made stronger each day.
-2 Corinthians 4:16-18

I have actually posted about this song already earlier
but today I heard a different version about it and cannot avoid to post it;
I don't know how old the singer Peyton Allen is, but his singing is absolutely beautiful and his interpretation of the song is powerful. Wow! Watch the video and be blessed!
Today was celebrated the Royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
I watched it live online: such a beautiful wedding and absolutely lovely couple!
But the best part of the wedding ceremony was Bishop Michael Curry's speech. Actually he preached the Gospel in an unexpected and wonderful way- and I'm sure so many people were touched by his words!
"There’s power in love. Love can help and heal when nothing else can.
Love can lift up and liberate for living when nothing else will.
There's a certain sense in which when you are loved and you know it,
when someone cares for you and you know it, when you love and you show
it, it actually feels right. There's something right about it. And
there's a reason for it. The reason has to do with the source. We were
made by a power of love and our lives were meant and are meant to be
lived in that love. That's why we are here. Ultimately the source of
love is God himself. The source of all of our lives.
-Bishop Michael Curry
“Beloved, let us love one another
because love is from God; Everyone who loves is born of God.
Whoever does not love does not know God
For God is love.”
-1 John 4:4-8
"Blackout"
I ride the dawnIt's in the name I was given
Can't get away from the meaning
I'll always rise, I'll always shine
In a blackout
I will illuminate the dark
You won't escape the beaming
I will glimmer, I will glow
[Refrain 1]
You can't turn out a light shining from the inside
Can't turn out a light shining from the inside
[Verse 2]
Light of the world
It's the name we were given
Can't get away from the vision
We are cities on a hill
In a blackout
We will illuminate the dark
They won't escape the beaming
We will glimmer, we will glow
Refrain 2]
You can't turn out a light shining from the inside
Can't turn out a light shining from the inside
Can't turn out a light shining from the inside
Can't turn out a light shining from the inside
[Chorus 1]
This our paradigm
The world didn't give it
And they can't take it away
We are made of light
The world didn't give it
And they can't take it away
[Bridge]
In a blackout
I will illuminate the dark
You won't escape the beaming
In a blackout
We will illuminate the dark
They won't escape the beaming
In a blackout
I will illuminate the dark
They won't escape the beaming
[Chorus 2]
This our paradigm
The world didn't give it
We are made of light
The world didn't give it
And they can't take it away
[Outro]
The world didn't give it
And they can't take it away
The world didn't give it
And they can't take it away

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess,
for he who promised is faithful.

God's word is food for our souls!
Memorize it. Confess it.
Let the words of the Bible enter into your mind and descend into your heart...
And let God's word transform your whole being!
Have a blessed day!
