This is just one of my favourite songs, I have many more :-)

Your Favourite Song: God Will Make a Way

When nagging pain pulls me down each day,
And I have no more words left to say, 
This song I cling on to, as I pray,
God will make a way, 
		where there seems to be no way

When life is as tough as it can be,
Working hard, am paid no salary,
At night, as I weep in agony,
This promise tunes me - 
		He works in ways we can't see

When pressures build up and slow my stride,
When troubles chase, there's no place to hide,
But in His Word, as I, then abide,
He will be my guide, 
		hold me closely to His side

"In His time", though it seems to delay,
He'll wipe my tears and troubles away,
He's promised ever with me to stay,
With love and strength for each new day, 
				He'll make a way

I can sing with faith strengthened again,
I can sing this soothing song in pain,
I can sing this refreshing refrain,
Heav'n and earth will fade, 
		but His word will still remain

When the sands keep shifting, He's my stay,
When I'm upset, His songs make my day,
One day, on the other shore, I'll say,
"God has made a way, 
		yes, my God has made a way."

This is brilliant and beautiful. Leaving your pages for a while equates throwing away refined Gold into the pacific. Now I know why my hands itch when away from your pages. Top notch mental exhibition and a powerful seven. Its been a while wonderful friend!
