I have one song ( a really old one) stuck in my head… It’s called “Stand by me” and was written by Charles A.Tindley (1851-1933) in 1905. I’ve found a lot of different versions, so I don’t know what the original should be like (and at this point I don’t really care) but here are some of the lyrics…

When the storms of life are raging,
Stand by me
When the storms of life are raging,
Stand by me
When the world is tossing me
Like a ship upon the sea
Thou Who rulest wind and water,
Stand by me.

In the midst of faults and failures,
Stand by me
In the midst of faults and failures,
Stand by me
When I do the best I can,
And my friends misunderstand,
Thou Who knowest all about me,
Stand by me

When my body is wrecked with pain,
Stand by me
When my body is wrecked with pain,
Stand by me
When my heart is filled with fear,
and my eyes are filled with tears
Thou who loves and thou who cares
Stand by me

I don’t know why this is going around in my thoughts right now… maybe it’s because of the “mangle”-treatment I feel like I’m going through. It’s all good though. God is good -all the time!
