Sometimes life is so HARD! We feel like we are getting beaten down--like with sticks and stones. We may feel broken by our struggles, sins, and trials, but no matter what happens, Jesus Christ is always there for us. He loves us no matter what we have done or how broken we may feel. He wants us to turn to Him, but if we do, He makes a way forward for each one of us. He can heal us and bring us joy. He fixes what's broken. Every good thing, all of our hope for brighter and better days ahead comes from Jesus Christ.

How do you SHARE Christ's hope and healing with others? Tell us in the comments.

🎧 Lyrics:

I’ve been awake for a while now.
It’s way too late to be thinking ‘bout
All the careless things I’ve done wrong.

They see mistakes I’ve been making now,
But I’ve been trying to lay ‘em down,
Haven’t been myself for so long.

Pre-Chorus:
It’s been a while since I came to you.
I hope you love me no matter what I do.
I need somebody, a God to hold on to
Through all the highs and lows.

Chorus:
They’ve been throwing sticks and stones, oh.
I’ve been feeling so alone, oh.
I need Your help to take control of
The way I live, like the way You did.
Yeah, I know that You can give me hope, and
You love me even when I’m broken.
You say you’ll never let me go, and
You light my road.
And you heal my soul
When they’re throwing their sticks and stones.

Got broken bones, and I’m feeling bruised.
Somehow I know you can get me through.
You’re the only cure for my pain.

And when I’m left all on my own,
I know that you’re never gonna go,
And you’re gonna make it okay.

Pre-Chorus:
It’s been a while since I came to you.
I hope you love me no matter what I do.
I need somebody, a God to hold on to
Through all the highs and lows.

Chorus:
They’ve been throwing sticks and stones, oh.
I’ve been feeling so alone, oh.
I need Your help to take control of
The way I live, like the way You did.
Yeah, I know that You can give me hope, and
You love me even when I’m broken.
You say you’ll never let me go, and
You light my road.
And you heal my soul
When they’re throwing their sticks and stones.

Bridge:
You’re the only one that knows me.
You can see the whole thing.
And I know that you love me, too,
So I’m getting on my knees to make it right with you.
You’re the only one that knows me.
You can see the whole thing.
And I know that you love me, too.
I need you 'cause

Chorus:
They’ve been throwing sticks and stones, oh.
I’ve been feeling so alone, oh.
I need Your help to take control of
The way I live, like the way You did.
Yeah, I know that You can give me hope, and
You love me even when I’m broken.
You say you’ll never let me go, and
You light my road.
And you heal my soul
When they’re throwing their sticks and stones.

Throwing their sticks and stones.
