Balm of Giguere

Write it anyway… even when I think no one is listening, or reading. Even when things in my life aren’t going like I hoped, even when I’m sick, or bumps in the road look like mountains needing scaled. No matter what circumstance I find myself in, I’m looking for purpose in the ordinary, the day to day, and going through the motions, hoping the fire desire will catch from the spark of motion.
Then, as if on cue, while I ponder dilemmas from the edge of “I don’t know if I can do this”, a song comes on the radio. A song I really need to hear. Not just once, but lots of times. So if you’re having that kind of day too, here’s a song from me to you. I hope it helps.
Katie Giguere’s Anyway, originally by Martina McBride. http://listentomp3.gannsdeen.com/2007/05/17/listen-to-katie-gigueres-anyway/


Anyway
You can spend your whole life building
Something from nothin’
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not never come your way
Dream it anyway

God is great
But sometimes life ain’t good
And when I pray
It doesn’t always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This world’s gone crazy
It’s hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
In a moment they can choose to walk away
Love ‘em anyway

God is great
But sometimes life ain’t good
And when I pray
It doesn’t always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
Yea - I do it anyway

You can pour your soul out singing
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they’ll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yea - praise Him anyway

I sing
I dream
I love
Oh, anyway
Anyway
