Still recall my name.

I never meant to wither
I wanted to be tall
Like a fool, left the river
And watched my branches fall.
Old and thirsty, i longed for the flood
To come back around
To the cactus in the valley,
That's about to crumble down
And wipe the mark of sadness from my face
Show me that your love will never change
If my yesterday is a disgrace
Show me that you still recall my name.
So the storm finally found me and left me in the dark
In the cloud around me, i don't know where you are
If this old world goes up in arms, all i can do is
stand
And i wont fight for anyone until you move my hands.
And wipe the mark of madness from my face
Show me that your love will never change
If my yesterday is a disgrace,
Tell me that you still recall my name.
Oh here, in this shadow;
Here i am
And i need someone by my side.
It becomes so
Hard to stand
And i keep trying to dry my eyes.
Come and find me
In the valley.
And Wipe the mark of sadness from my face,
show me that your love will never change.
And if my yesterday is a disgrace,
Tell me that you still recall my name.
And wipe the mark of madness from my face
Show me that your love will never change.
And if my yesterday is a disgrace
Tell me that you'll still recall my name.
-Cactus in the Valley- LIGHTS

Something about this song brings figurative tears to my eyes. Especially the acoustic version. Whether this song had intentions of being written from a Christian perspective or not is unknown to me but so much about it brings security and reassurance that my God is with me no matter what I do or what anybody else does.

I guess the reason I posted this is because God can speak through so many things and I believe that this song is one of them.

I'm also really obsessed with this song at the moment. 

Here's the studio acoustic version of the song. I hope it speaks to you to.
