Don’t pass

me by

Don’t Pass Me By is a cry from the depths of lived experience. This is a song forged in fire, born out of years of chronic pain, unanswered prayer, and the decision to still trust God when His silence feels deafening. Written from Lydia’s own journey through ongoing physical suffering, Don’t Pass Me By echoes the plea of the blind man in Luke 18 — a man who, despite the crowd telling him to be quiet, called out louder for Jesus. It’s that same persistent, courageous cry that forms the heartbeat of this song: “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me… Don’t pass me by.”

I believe that you can heal me, and that you’re longing for it too. I don’t understand the waiting, but I still choose to trust in you

“If there’s a valley before the breakthrough, then I’ll flood it with my praise. If it’s two steps forward, one step back, I’ll keep pressing on in faith. I have a desperate prayer for healing, that the cynics cannot tame. I will wrestle past to meet you, I’ll keep getting in your face”
