  • Lyrics, “Love Song for a Savior” – Jars of Clay

    In open fields of wild flowers,
    She breathes the air and flies away
    She thanks her Jesus for the daisies and the roses
    In no simple language
    Someday she’ll understand the meaning of it all
    He’s more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
    As close a heartbeat or a song on her lips
    Someday she’ll trust Him and learn how to see Him
    Someday He’ll call her and she will come running
    and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and she’ll pray,

    “I want to fall in love with You”

    Sitting silent wearing Sunday best
    The sermon echoes through the walls
    A great salvation through it calls to the people
    Who stare into nowhere, and can’t feel the chains on their souls

    He’s more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
    As close a heartbeat or a song on our lips
    Someday we’ll trust Him and learn how to see Him
    Someday He’ll call us and we will come running
    And fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and we’ll pray,

    “I want to fall in love with You”

    It seems too easy to call you “Savior”,
    Not close enough to call you “God”
    So as I sit and think of words I can mention
    To show my devotion

    “I want to fall in love with You”

    “My heart beats for You”
    ————————————————

    I’ve been sitting silent and waiting for God to speak to me, and I revive my heart.  I love that He uses all sorts of things and that this song is my sentiment in words and music.

  • Lyrics: “Love, Where Is Your Fire?” – Brooke Fraser

    Love, where is your fire? I’ve been sitting here smoking away
    Making signals with sticks and odd ends and bits, still there’s no sign of a flame
    Imposters have been passing, offering a good-feeling glow
    But I’m holding out for what you are about – an inferno that burns to the bone
    Some urge me to be temperate, lukewarm will never do

    [CHORUS]
    ‘Cause I, I wanna (know I’ll) blaze with you
    So I’m holding my heart out to you
    Holding my heart out

    So I stand, handing out torches
    speaking words that are lamps to their feet
    ‘Til the time when you come an I’m whole and we are one and the fire in me is complete
    Some tell me to be moderate but lukewarm will never do

    [CHORUS]

    [BRIDGE]
    Then a doubt comes to lie at the back of my mind
    That I’ll offer you me and you’ll politely decline (politely decline)
    So I hasten to mute it, I’ll shout and rebuke it – “away!”

    ————————————
    I’ve listened to this song many times, but this morning it just spoke truth to my heart. I love the ways God chooses to illuminate.

  • Lyrics: “Break My Fall” – Lanae’ Hale

    I was just listening to this song this morning and thought I’d share the beautiful lyrics with you.  Enjoy!

    ———————————————————————–

    Seems simple enough
    When everyone is gone
    And the halls are empty
    And my song remains unsung

    Take a second to breathe
    Hope for change, a breakthrough
    Begin to pray for relief
    From lies that silence the truth

    chorus
    Would You break my fall
    Even though I don’t deserve it at all
    Would You call my name
    And heal the wounds of lonely days
    When lost love mocks the heart and stains the soul
    Makes it hard
    Could you make these pieces into something beautiful?
    I wanna be… beautiful

    In the midst of it all
    Try to regain composure
    By first confessing this fall
    That proves my need for a savior
