My personal favorite that got me through a REALLY rough spot in 2002 was Amy Grant's "Somewhere Down the Road." That's what helped me feel peace even when I didn't understand why things were happening. I still don't have answers to the "whys" but I have peace and gratitude that my life didn't spin completely out of control back then. My faith (albeit weak at the time) and the incredible strength and faith on the part of my husband kept me focused on what truly matters.
This song was sent to me on a CD by my cousin who knew I was struggling. She couldn't have known then how much these words meant to me. That CD stayed in my CD player and was on "repeat" for many, many months.
<b>SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD</b>
So much pain and no good reason why
You've cried until the tears run dry
And nothing else can make you understand
The one thing that you held so dear
Is slipping from your hand
And you say
Why, why, why
Does it go this way
Why, why, why
And all I can say
Somewhere down the road
There'll be answers to the questions
Somewhere down the road
Tho we cannot see it now
And somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
And they will hold the answers at the end of the road
Yesterday I thought Id seen it all
I thought Id climbed the highest wall
Now I see the learning never ends
And all I know to do is keep on walking
Walking round the bend singing
Why, why, why
Does it go this way
Why, why, why
And all I can say
somewhere down the road
There'll be answers to the questions
Somewhere down the road
Tho we cannot see it now
And somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
And they will hold the answers at the end of the road.
