It was early 2005.  I was still married, still had my career, still had my life, and I knew things were about to get turned upside down.  I was listening to this song as I drove in to work one morning, and it felt like God was saying, “I’m singing this to you.”

When I got to work, I told my friend, Jeanna, about the song.  I didn’t say anything about specific lyrics.  Just that I’d felt like God was singing to me.  She listened to the song and told me, “He called you His warrior bride!  I like that!”

Yeah.  I liked that, too.

This was another song that got me through the pain of losing everything.

Emma – Jason Upton

Don’t be afraid, baby, don’t you cry
Daddy’s here, it will be all right
You’re not alone, you’re not alone

Don’t be afraid when you’re cold at night
I will keep you warm, I will hold you tight
You’re not alone, you’re not alone

Look beyond the window there
To the sky above to the open air
Look beyond what you can see
Close your eyes and just believe

The lion roars and the lamb lays down
They live together in a whole new town
They’re calling me, and they’re calling you
From the cold hard facts that we’re on our own
To the age old truth we’re not alone

Don’t be afraid when you scrape your knee
I’ve got a Band-aid waiting and a kiss for free
You’re not alone, you’re not alone

Don’t be afraid of your blind belief
Because the more you fly, the more you’ll see
You’re not alone, you’re not alone

Look beyond the window there
To the sky above to the open air
Look beyond what you can see
Close your eyes and just believe

The lion roars and the lamb lays down
They live together in a whole new town
They’re calling me, and they’re calling you
From the cold hard facts that we’re on our own
To the age old truth that we’re not alone

Don’t be afraid little warrior bride
Your victory’s on the other side
You’re not alone, you’re not alone
