The Weekend Brew: You Steady My Heart
I heard this song on K-LOVE this week and just about broke down in front of my teenagers. But you know, mom has to hold it together. I had never heard the song before, or perhaps I did, but the lyrics just really jumped out at me on this particular day. I can especially relate to these words:
Even when it hurts
Even when it’s hard
Even when it all just falls apart
I will run to You
Cause I know that You are
Lover of my soul
Healer of my scars
You steady my heartAnd I will run to You
You’re my refuge in Your arms
And I will sing to You
Cause of everything You areYou steady my heart
I so identified with needing to be steadied by the Lord. Have you heard this song before? I’ve shared the video here, praying that it will bless you!
Thank you for allowing me to be short and sweet. Writer’s block can be such a pain, but I know worship music always encourages.
*If you haven’t grabbed the new button for The Weekend Brew, you may want to. It’s too cute!

Love the new blog look, Barbie! I think it’s too much pressure to ALWAYS be inspiring. Sometimes we can share others’ inspiring work like you did here. Have a blessed week!
I am realizing this truth more and more! Have a blessed week Melanie.
Thanks for sharing the song & congrats on the new blog design! Thanks for hosting & God bless!
Thank you Laurie! Have a blessed week.
I love listening to praise music, too, Barbie. And I remember I ordered this latest album of Kari Jobe from amazon.com and still waiting for its arrival. Yes, the lyrics resonate with me, too :). Have a blessed week ahead!
Have a blessed week Rina!
Barbie – I had never heard this particular song but have now played it several times. Beautiful lyrics! I know God is going to continue to be with you through this process!!!
Thank you Joanne! Praying you are continually blessed by this song and by His love!
Love, love Kari Jobe…she has the voice of an angel. I am so grateful that I am able to run to Him, aren’t you? Thanks so much for giving s all the opportunity to share with each other, Barbie . Have a blessed weekend!
You’re welcome Debby!
Hi Barbie,
Love your fall photos and the new button, just updated it on my link-up page. I know that song, the words are just so perfect and comforting and just a bit of God is for us. Yet He is so much more.
Blessings,
Kim
Thank you Kim! Praying you have a blessed Sunday!
Oh, yes, boy do I need Him to steady my heart! Amen, some songs tear at my mama heart strings easily these days! Pray I’m not the only one with a quivering chin. Have a blessed Sunday!
Oh yes Carrie, I know. When I heard this song and thought about this post, it was because of a mama moment, one that I’m not proud of. Hang in there!
Can I say – I LOVE the new look here Barbie! I loved the old look to – but this is so clean and refreshing and nice! Also – #sorrynotsorry… I saw Kari Jobe live last wknd at Women of Faith and oh my stars, not only is she stinking adorable – but the girl has a heart for worship and just brings us all right in to His Presence with her!
Thanks Karrilee! And I thought of you when I wrote this post and how jealous I was that you got to experience her heart of worship in person. Ha! Have a blessed weekend!
Love your new home here on the web!
I so enjoy the words and music that Kari Jobe offers; thanks for sharing this song. It’s always good to be reminded of such truth in music.
Steadied heart,
Rebekah
Her lyrics always touch me deeply. Thank you for stopping by!
Beautiful song with a wonderful message. 🙂 Oh, I love your new button.
Blessings sister.
Thank you! This is my favorite little button!
Love your new fall banner! Your site design is so lovely.
Love the song too! : )
Thank you Cathy! That’s the beauty of “stock photos”. Gasp, I know! I need to take more photos for this new blog of mine. Thanks for stopping by.
Loving your new blog design! Thanks for sharing this song.
Thanks so much Elizabeth! Me too!
your short-and-sweet is always a blessing <3
and this song. oh my heart.
every. single. time.
so glad you shared this one today!!
love to you, friend!
Thank you dear Traci!
Love that song- I will check out her music based on Lyli’s comment, above! How do you manage all of these Blog makeovers! Looks beautiful and the new button is adorable. Happy weekending, Barbie- one breath at a time.
Well, I stumbled upon this one, asking for help with something in a FB forum, but after I found this new theme, called “Beautiful” well I just had to have it. And it all went on from there. Thankfully, my hubby allows me to save up money for one redo a year, but the thing I love about this one, is because I can change the photo header, I can get this one forever! And the gal who does my buttons, well I just love her and she’s pretty inexpensive. LOVE my new button for TWB. Been praying for you. Hope you have a beautiful weekend!
I love Kari Jobe’s entire album. It was on “repeat” almost daily during a very difficult season of illness. Every song breathes life and healing. This one is a favorite. Thanks for sharing it today… 🙂
Most of her songs move me to tears every time. Blessings!
Dear Barbie
I love the new look of your blog. It looks so fresh and clean. Barbie, you don’t need to keep anything together before your Beloved and you can cry your heart out before Him, not just singing His praises! Even if the whole world rejects you, He gathers you into His arms with great delight, singing songs of joy over you and loves you as if you were His one and only!
Blessings XX

Mia, you always have the right words to say that touch my heart deeply. Thank you for ministering to my heart this morning. Hugs!
Comforting words in this song! Music ministers to our hearts; I found comfort and rest in an old hymn this week. God bless your weekend!
Have a lovely weekend Carol! Thanks for stopping by.
Such meaningful lyrics. I think one of God’s greatest accomplishments was creating music, and giving us the gifts to put it all together in a song. What a blessing.
On the days when I cannot read, or think, worship music brings me so much comfort. Blessings to you my friend!
Barbie, I was not familiar with the song. Thank you for sharing it today.
Also….your new look is lovely. Your seasonal banner is beautiful. You really are a good photographer.
May your day be extraordinary! [hugs]
Oh Diane, I have to confess these pictures are not mine, but stock photos. I am trying to take more photos and to use them in my banner. Another thing I’d like to do is find other bloggers who have photos that I can purchase. I’d rather support those I know and love than those on Fotolio, although I do have an eye for pulling good ones! Happy weekend!
Oh I love your new site!! It looks beautiful, great job! 🙂
Blessings,
Nicole
