I've had this stuck in my head for over a week.

So i got this urge to listen to this song. I never knew the lyrics well, despite this being a song from my teen years. Tonight i got it in my head that this song was more positive lyrically than i had always believed. It's kind of sad and bluesy. But the lyrics read like a modern day Psalm, starting with the trials of a single man and the triumph he goes on to endure through God. Its quite a powerful song with the music backing it as the music is very passionate and soulful.
But the real reason i'm posting it is as i read the lyrics Cristen popped into my head. This song seems to fit where you're at now. So hopefully it brings something good to you in your current struggles, a little hope or comfort or whatever is needed when you (hopefully) see this.

Empty promises, that were etched in stone
Scattered by the wind to places I have known
All the burning lamps by the window panes
Lit for their return, but they never came
I lose myself in deep regret
Still I hear a voice that I can't forget
Says: we will run where roses grow, our feet unbound at last
Laugh as morning dawns, the night forever passed
See the face of glory, feel the river flow
Hear the voice of God, and run where roses grow
Fading hope is gathered as the sky grows dim
Somewhere it's raining, but it's drought within
Out across the desert, was it fate or was it chance?
I saw clouds approaching where I took my stance
Hear the thunder rolling - can you hear the horn?
I'm climbing Jacob's ladder - up through the storm
Stand with me at the Mercy Seat
With mounds of ashes spread about my feet
You know who I am, all I think I know
See it in the marrow, buried deep in the bone
How is there no anger in the words I hear?
Only love and mercy, erasing every fear
