He Is With You
Sung by Mandisa
There's a time to live
And a time to die
There's a time to laugh
And a time to cry
There's a time for war
And a time for peace
There's a hand to hold
In the worst of these
In the worst of these
He is with you when your faith is dead
And you can't even get out of bed
Or your husband doesn't kiss you anymore
He is with you when your baby's gone
And your house is still and your heart's a stone
Cryin' God, what'd you do that for?
He is with you
There's a time for yes
And a time for no
There's a time to be angry
And a time to let it go
There's a time to run
And a time to face it
There is love to see you
Through all of this
Through all of this
He is with you in the conference room
When the world is coming down on you
And your wife and kids don't know you anymore
And He is with you in the ICU
When the doctors don't know what to do
And it scares you to the core
He is with you
We may weep for a time
But joy will come in the morning
The morning light
He is with you when your kids are grown
When there's too much space and you feel alone
And you're worried if you got it right or wrong
Yes He is with you when you've given up
On ever finding your true love
Someone who feels like home
He is with you
When nothing else is left
And you take you final breath
He is with you
What If We Were Real?
Sung by Mandisa
Well, I'm tired of saying everything
I feel like I'm supposed to say.
I'm tired of smiling all the time,
I wanna throw the mask away.
Sometimes you just have a bad day.
Sometimes you just wanna scream.
Tell me I'm not the only one,
Tell me that you feel just like me.
We keep tryin to make it look so nice.
And we keep hidin' what's goin on inside.
But what if I share my brokenness?
What if you share how you feel?
And what if we weren't afraid of this crazy mess?
What if we were real?
What if we were real?
I'm over hidin my tears,
I think I'm gonna let em' go.
I'm over actin so strong,
When I ain't even in control.
We make it so complicated.
But why does it have to be?
Why can't we open our hearts
and let everybody see?
We keep tryin to make it look so nice.
And we keep hidin' what's goin on inside.
But what if I share my brokenness?
What if you share how you feel?
And what if we weren't afraid of this crazy mess?
What if we were real?
We'd think a little less of ourselves.
We'd care about someone else.
'Cause we'd know just how they feel.
Maybe we could let someone love us.
Maybe we'd a little more like Jesus.
Why can't we learn to real?
Broken Hallelujah
Sung by Mandisa
With my love and my sadness
I come before You Lord
My heart's in a thousand pieces
Maybe even more
Yet I trust in this moment
You're with me somehow
And You've always been faithful
So Lord even now
When all that I can sin
Is a broken hallelujah
When my only offering
Is shattered praise
Still a song of adoration
Will rise up from these ruins
I will worship You and give You thanks
Even when my only praise
Is a broken hallelujah
Oh Father, You have given
Much more than I deserve
And I have felt Your hand of blessing
On me at every turn
How could I doubt Your goodness
Your wisdom, Your grace
Oh Lord hear my heart
In this painful place
When all that I can sing
Is a broken hallelujah
When my only offering
Is shattered praise
Still a song of adoration
Will rise up from these ruins
I will worship You and give You thanks
Even when my only praise
Is a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah
I lift my voice
Your Spirit moves
I raise my hands
I reach for You

My favorite song right now is The Hurt and The Healer by Mercy Me.
I met Mandisa earlier this month at a Women of Faith Conference in Philadelphia. She is wonderful and so energetic.
