Chad Taylor - The Joy of My Life (Official Music Video; Keeping Hope After Loss)

This is a song about losing a loved one unexpectedly, but more than that, it's about hope. Through our grief, we must always keep hope. Losing a loved one, especially if it's unexpected, is one of the hardest parts of life. The pain of losing them shows just how precious of a gift life is. From the bottom of my heart, I hope this video inspires many and points them to the way out; to hope.

I encourage you to get the book at the links below. I believe it will be very helpful and insightful.

I appreciate you!

Song Lyrics:

One day like many others
A new dawn approaching
But how was I to know
I could never imagine
This would be the day
I’d never say goodbye
My world crashes down
Time stands still

You were the Joy of my life
Suddenly taken from me
And I know, I can’t do this on my own

Longing for your voice
Grasping for your touch
Just beyond my reach
I miss you so much
I think of all the days
I had with you
As the teardrops fall
Your memories rise

You were the Joy of my life
Suddenly missing from me
And I know that I won’t do this on my own
my own

Accepting you’re not here
Is so hard to bear
But I must stand up
I must go on
I’ll see you again
When these days are through
I am so blessed
To have known you

You were the Joy of my life
Such a blessing to me
And I know that I’m not ever on my own
