On our way to the hospital, Chad and I had the radio on in the car and "I Can Only Imagine" was playing. This is going to sound weird, but I wasn't so much worried about a blood clot killing me as I was worried about Chad being left behind without me. This song brought comfort to us both that day. And I'm happy to report that I'm not a ghost, and am in fact alive and well to this day. Although I do have to wear nasty compression hose, which are from Satan.
I can only imagine what it will be like, when I walk by Your side.
I can only imagine, what my eyes will see, when Your Face is before me.
I can only imagine. I can only imagine.
Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! I can only imagine!
Not so bad, really. Lyrics from lyricsmode.
Do you have a song/poem/thought that gets you through the tough times?

I cannot imagine experience that but I can imagine how easy it is to give up. I have no particular song to get through hard times but any sad song will usually make me feel a bit better. you would think sad songs makes me sad and it does but I think the other effect which I cannot define is equally helpful.
hope you're having a lovely october.
Su, it is usually the old hymns that get me through, for some reason. Although "I can only imagine" is a song that gives me chills. But after Mom passed away, "In Heavenly Love Abiding" was a song that I played over and over while sitting at the computer. The song that has been rattling around in my head for a week or two now is "Great is Thy Faithfulness". Go figure.
Yes, when worried and on my own I sing a hymn 'he who would valiant be' and in my books I have the little people do this too. My heroine sang it in 'Thin Time' :0)
@lissa: I hear you on the sad songs! I tend to listen to the Les Misèrables soundtrack for a pick-me-up.
@Carolyn: I think I'm into a mix of old and new.
@Carole: Nice! Very cool that you worked it into your books.
That's a beautiful song. I had to sing it at a funeral once.
I'm glad you were okay. That must have been so scary!
I love this song. Makes me cry and smile every time I hear it.
@Karen: It really is gorgeous. In hindsight, it doesn't seem so bad. At the time, I was really freaked out.
@Donna: Me, too. It's one of those songs!
Jerusalem. It's been stuck in my head for nearly fifteen years now and comes out at odd moments :-)
That's a good one to have stuck in your head.
