Singing me to you

Anyway - Martina Mcbride

You can spend your whole life buildin'
Something from nothin'
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

God is great
But sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This world's gone crazy
It's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
In a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway

God is great
But sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
Yeah - I do it anyway

You can pour your soul out singing
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yea, sing it anyway
Yeah, yeah!

I sing
I dream
I love
anyway

A song that ministered to me on the train on the way back home just now.
It made me think what was the underlying reason why the singer(Martina) could say she still chose to do those things anyway, even though things/situations were not going her way.
I suppose it was because she knew something greater, something that gave her the strength to press on and pull through tough situations and difficulties in life.

Personally for me, I believe that knowing Jesus Christ and the truth He brings gives me strength me do things which i don't usually wanna do, in my human strength daily. Loving, believing, praying, persevering on when it is hard are but just some of the examples that I struggle with daily. But knowing who He is and what He has done sure does give meaning and hope in this life, which allows me to do those things, anyway... as long as I live and walk in His truth.
