I have the privilege of working in a christian school that I attended from preschool through 12th grade ~ I was taught this song and loved it when I was in elementary school! Fast-forward to this year, when my dear friend needed this song arranged for a performance coming up for our little ones and we couldn't find the sheet music to match what we needed anywhere! So, I decided to arrange it and make it available for others to find and enjoy. Thanks for checking it out and I hope it brings joy to your heart this Christmas season!

Feeling discouraged, experiencing pain or grief, longing for peace, joy, and love in this crazy journey of life...I don't claim to have all of the answers, but I know the One who does. He may not directly answer when you pray, however, I can promise you that He will never leave your side and will walk with you through whatever you are going through.

As a musician, I have always been entranced with how melodies and harmonies, instruments of varying timbres, and beautiful orchestrations create frequencies that combine to make incredible symphonies and compositions. Life is the same...God gives us love, joy, grief, and pain to create a brilliant symphony of our life. Without all the colors we wouldn't understand the overall beauty and purpose. We must trust our composer through it all, knowing that He means every line intentionally for our good and the entire picture that will be beautiful in the end.

I have the privilege of directing high school, junior high, and elementary choir, as well as junior high handbells in a fantastic Christian school. As in many private schools, we adhere to a high expectation of both faculty and students, as we all work together to serve Christ in all that we do. It has become a home away from home for me, and I will forever be grateful for this institution that God has placed in my life, as a teacher today, as well as throughout my childhood, as I was a student here from preschool to high school graduation.

When I was a student, and especially today from a teacher's perspective, I've witnessed that students seem to get frustrated with the rules when it comes to the dress code. The students are required to order uniforms from the Land's End catalogue, with polos and dress shirts in colors of green, yellow, or blue, along with the appropriate pants or skirts of white, black, or blue khaki. Modesty and professionalism is the standard as we seek to glorify God, even in the dress we choose. 

It's easy to get frustrated with rules anywhere you go. However, the goal of having rules is to put in place a line that we can all meet at according to the type of experience we are engaging in, or institution we are part of. This song encourages our students, or anyone frustrated with rules in any institution, to look past the rules themselves and focus on why you are here, and the overall purpose of what you are doing with others that are trying to do the same.

Hopefully, this song will encourage you in your journey!
