For PaPaw Barker

Nick's grandfather is holding on to his last hours, we will most likely be traveling to Arkansas for the funeral by the end of the week.   I haven't really let myself process what's happening, and I don't think Nick has either.  Would you please pray for peace for our family and that PaPaw would enter HIS gates with praise and thanksgiving....

This is a Matt Redman song that keeps coming to my head when I think of losing someone you love.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death 
Your perfect love is casting out fear 
And even when I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life 
I won't turn back 
I know you are near 

And I will fear no evil 
For my God is with me 
And if my God is with me 
Whom then shall I fear? 
Whom then shall I fear? 

(Chorus:) 
Oh no, You never let go 
Through the calm and through the storm 
Oh no, You never let go 
In every high and every low 
Oh no, You never let go 
Lord, You never let go of me 

And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on 
A glorious light beyond all compare 
And there will be an end to these troubles 
But until that day comes 
We'll live to know You here on the earth 


Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on 
And there will be an end to these troubles 
But until that day comes 
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You
