I'm still learning.

I wrote a song a few days ago on a day when my emotions and frustration felt nearly overwhelming.  Over the last couple of weeks, I have been dealing with some things that have broken my heart again and again.  This experience continues to show me how small I am and how big God is.
I really want to write a whole post about this, but unfortunately, I do not have the time today to truly write out my heart, so instead, I will be sharing the song I wrote, temporarily titled "College Life."  Perhaps in a few days, I will be able to set aside the time to spill out my heart and describe how the Lord has encouraged me so much these last couple of weeks.
The song is on YouTube, so you can check it out here.

College Life
I've been away for quite a while.
I'm living life with a brand new smile.
I've made some friends. I've learned some things.
It's true.
I'm finding myself. I'm growing up.
I've learned to live on Your sweet love.
Your presence, God, is just enough.
Just You. All I need is You.

'Cause when I'm lonely, You lift me up,
When I'm empty, You fill my cup,
When I'm broken, You're just enough for me.
When my family is far away, You lead me to a brighter day.
It's true. The One I need is You.

You're the only constant that remains.
You see me through my every day.
The good, the bad, the in-between,
It's true.
Sometimes I miss my life back home,
While living here outside my comfort zone.
I know I'm not alone. I've got You.
All I need is You.

'Cause when I'm lonely, You lift me up.
When I'm empty, You fill my cup.
When I'm broken, You're just enough for me.
When my family is far away, You bring me to a brighter day.
It's true. The One I need is You.

College life is not the easiest.
Your love means so much more than this.
You hold each precious tear.
And with You at my side,
There's no need for me to ever hide.
You take my every fear.

'Cause when I'm lonely, You lift me up.
When I'm empty, You fill my cup.
When I'm broken, You're just enough for me.
When my family is far away, You bring me to a brighter day.
It's true. The One I need is You.
It's true. All I need is You.
