I'm Gonna Love You Through It

Post from yesterday with pictures from Beechfork Holiness Church.

A Note From Odie:

All of us have been affected by sickness and most of us have dealt with cancer in our extended families. Many of us have faced these things personally, or faced them with those close to our hearts.

Some times the battle is ultimately won in Heaven. Other times the Lord gives the victory on earth. But either way, it is a war that requires love and support of those around us. Anyone who is sick needs their family and friends to rally around them and help them through. Thank you to those of you that have been that person for someone! God bless you!

I was thinking  of this song today. It is beautifully written by Jimmy Yeary, Sonya Isaacs Yeary and Ben Hayslip. The Isaacs released it on their "Why Can't We" project in 2011. September of 2011 they performed it on the National Quartet Convention stage in Louisville, Kentucky. During the song they were joined on stage by many southern gospel artist who have battled cancer, or their family members have had cancer. My great-aunt Lily Isaacs is a cancer survivor. This song was written because of her story.  

If you have never seen this, get ready to cry. It is powerful. I will put the lyrics below the video.

I'm Gonna Love You Through It
Words and Music by Jimmy Yeary, Sonya Isaacs Yeary, Ben Hayslip

She dropped the phone and burst into tears

The doctor just confirmed her fears

Her husband held it in and held her tight

Cancer don't discriminate or care if you're just 38

With three kids who need you in their lives

He said, "I know that you're afraid and I am too

But you'll never be alone I promise you"

When you're weak, I'll be strong

When you let go, I'll hold on

When you need to cry

I promise I'll be there to dry your eyes

When you feel lost and scared to death

Like you can't take one more step

Just take my hand, together we can do it

I'm gonna love you through it

She made it through the surgery fine

They said they caught it just in time

But they had to take more than they planned

Now it's forced smiles and baggy shirts

To hide what the cancer took from her

But she just wants to feel like a woman again

She said, "I don't think I can do this anymore"

He took her in his arms

And said, "That's what my love is for"

When you're weak, I'll be strong

When you let go, I'll hold on

When you need to cry

I promise I'll be there to dry your eyes

When you feel lost and scared to death

Like you can't take one more step

Just take my hand, together we can do it

I'm gonna love you through it

And when this road gets too long

I'll be the rock that you lean on

Just take my hand, together we can do it

I'm gonna love you through it
I'm gonna love you through it
