I loved the music we sang, but our counterpart, the Men\u2019s Chorus, seemed to have the better music\u2026or I just liked their \u201csound\u201d better.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I heard today\u2019s piece of music a few weeks back and loved the harmonies, but then as I looked at the lyrics, I was even more drawn to this song. I was reminded of the times King David asked God not to hide His face (Psalm 27:9, Psalm 69:17 and Psalm 102:2).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In our darkest hour, when we feel alone, we need to realize that we are never really alone. But sometimes we have allowed our sinful nature or selfish ambition to cloud our vision. When we find ourselves in this position, that\u2019s when we need to do is ask God to show His face.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I pray that if you are in this situation today that you will ask God to show up in your life. Don\u2019t go through another day feeling lonely or isolated. With God by your side, you are never alone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere No One Stands Alone\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once I stood in the night with my head bowed low<br \/>\nIn the darkness, as black as could be<br \/>\nAnd my heart felt alone<br \/>\nAnd I cried oh Lord<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t hide your face from me<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Chorus:<\/p>\n<p>Hold my hand all the way<br \/>\nEvery hour every day<br \/>\nFrom here to the grave<br \/>\nI know<br \/>\nTake my hand<br \/>\nLet me stand<br \/>\nWhere no one stands alone<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Like a king I may live in a palace so tall<br \/>\nWith great riches to call my own<br \/>\nBut I don\u2019t know a thing<br \/>\nIn this whole wide world<br \/>\nThat\u2019s worse than being alone<br \/>\n(Chorus)<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are an Elvis fan, click <a title=\"&quot;Where No One Stands Alone&quot;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eiznb6fQIqQ\" target=\"_blank\">here <\/a>to hear Elvis\u2019 version.
