Arguably the best female singer/songwriter in the Contemporary Christian music industry is Nichole Nordeman. There is so much of her work that I like, but this song, sandwiched in the middle of her recent album Brave, hit me like a ton of bricks. I had to pull over to the side of the road when I heard it and I’ve performed it in many different worship contexts where the response to it has been profound. She is also an artist trying to balance children and her work and her motives for her work are very pure. I look forward to her next release.

It will find you at the bottom of a bottle
It will find you at the needle's end
It will find you when you beg and steal and borrow
It will follow you into a stranger's bed

It will find you when they serve you with the papers
It will find you when the locks have changed again
It will find you when you've called in all your favors
It will meet you at the bridge's highest ledge

So baby don't look down, it's a long way
The sun will come around to a new day

So hold on
Love will find you
Hold on
He's right behind you now
Just turn around
And love will find you

It will find you when the doctor's head is shaking
It will find you in a boardroom, mostly dead
It will crawl into the foxhole where you're praying
It will curl up in your halfway empty bed

So baby don't believe that it's over
Maybe you can't see 'round the corner?

To hang between two thieves in the darkness
Love must believe you are worth it
