SOTW - Maybe There's A Loving God

I like to think I'm generally not an emotional person. I don't know why I like to think that, I just do. (becoming a mother is slowly changing that, however.) But, this song makes me choke up every single time I hear it.


I think what strikes me (besides the beautifully placed chords and bongo drum) is that even though we aren't always where we need to be with God (ok, probably never), He's always there... waiting... patiently. Stretching out His hand, waiting for us to grab it. I think it paints a beautiful picture of Gods love and depth. Despite our smallness. Give it a listen sometime and for now, just read. :)

Maybe There's A Loving God

by Sara Groves

I'm trying to work things out

I'm trying to comprehend

Am I the chance result

Of some great accident

I hear a rhythm call me

The echo of a grand design

I spend each night in the backyard

Staring up at the stars in the sky

I have another meeting today

With my new counselor

My mom will cry and say

I don't know what to do with her

She's so unresponsive

I just cannot break through

She spends all night in the backyard

Staring up at the stars and the moon

They have a chart and a graph

Of my despondency

They want to chart a path

For self-recovery

And want to know what I'm thinking

What motivates my mood

To spend all night in the backyard

Staring up at the stars and the moon

Maybe this was made for me

For lying on my back in the middle of a field

Maybe that's a selfish thought

Or maybe there's a loving God

Maybe I was made this way

To think and to reason and to question and to pray

I have never prayed a lot

Maybe there's a loving God
