a friend in the madness

You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

- John 15:14-15 (NKJV)

 

We live in a crazy world right now, sometimes it feels like it is not even safe to go outside.
We need a friend in this madness. 
I heard a new song last week, that punched me right in the feels. 
The artist is Terrian, the song released just this year called Honestly, We Just Need Jesus, here are the lyrics:
I got a front row seat to the madness

I pick up my phone every mornin' out of habit

I've been fiendin' for the drama, yeah, I said it

I'm addicted to the rush, need a medic

When I take a step back, I can see it

All the pain, all the fear we've been feelin'

Losin' sight of the thing that we're needin'

That we're needin'

Honestly, I think we just need Jesus

Honestly, I think we just need Jesus

Have we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds?

What used to be wrong, we say that it's right

Honestly, I think we just need Jesus

Take a good long look in the mirror

Search my heart and soul, make it clearer

Help me take your love, trade the bitter

Leave it in the dust, help me leave it in the dust, Lord

We've been preachin', we've been drinkin' in the vanity (in the vanity)

Now it's got us questionin' our sanity (sanity)

And we wonder how we get all this anxiety

It's clear to me

Honestly, I think we just need Jesus (Jesus)

Honestly, I think we just need Jesus (Jesus)

Have we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds?

What used to be wrong, we say that it's right

Honestly, I think we just need Jesus

We turn away (we turn away)

We're running back to you (oh-oh)

Covered in grace (covered in grace)

God, You can make us new (make us new)

We turn away (we turn away)

We're running back to you (oh-oh)

Covered in grace (covered in grace)

God, You can make us new, oh

Honestly, we need, we need You, Jesus (we need You, oh)

Have we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds?

What used to be wrong, we say that it's right

Honestly, we need, we need You, Jesus

Oh, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

We need You, Jesus, Jesus

Oh, Jesus

Jesus, Jesus (we're running back)

(We're running back to You) Jesus

We're runnin' back to You, oh (Jesus)

Yeah, Jesus, Jesus

Make us new

Do you see yourself in these words?

The artist said in an interview that she feels this song captures the essence of human frailty and the profound need for a savior.

Whoa.
We need a friend. 
When we are navigating this insane thing we call life, in the middle of the challenges we face, we can find solace and strength in a genuine connection with Jesus.
Honestly – we just need Jesus.
