I can't stop the rain from falling
It's been raining for so long
I can't take your pain away
Or find what's right inside the wrong
But take my hand, we'll go through this together
And I can help you to stand
I don't know what tomorrow will bring us
But you'll know where I am
I can't stop the night from coming
Or turn the darkness into light
There's so much I cannot do for you
But I can give you the strength to fight
But take my hand, we'll go through this together
And I can help you to stand
I don't know what tomorrow will bring us
But you'll know where I am
There is one who can do all things
Can stop the rain and end the night
He'll bring you peace and restoration
And make this wrong into a beautiful right
So take His hand
You'll walk with Him together
Before His throne you will stand
We'll be fine with the peace He will bring us
And I'll know where you are
Joseph passed away Thursday afternoon. He turned 4 years old on Wednesday, and died on Thursday. As awful as this is, I'm so thankful that Ryan and I were on a plane on our way home so that we could be with our family. Allen sang this song at Joseph's funeral. Several posts ago I posted a video of the song Held, referring to Joseph. Natalie Grant came to the funeral today and sang Held. Please continue to pray for the Peabodys. The funeral is over and everybody will go back to their normal, everyday lives, but they will be faced with a new normal. Prayer and the peace God gives are the things that will carry them through this.
"I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day - and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing." 2 Tim. 4:7-8

Thank you for your post. I really wanted to be there for Joseph's family, but as I live in MA and have two small kids of my own, it was difficult. Thank you again for for posting such a beautiful song that Allen wrote for his son.

Ashley, I will continue to keep you and all of your family in my prayers, especially Joseph's parents and his sister. I can't even begin to imagine what you all are going through, but what a testament of God's love and faithfulness this is. I miss you, dear!!!
