Songs

Just wanted to share a couple of songs that have been speaking to me recently. maybe you will like them.


21st Chapter - When Silence Falls


I wait in the silence to hear Your voice, just to hear Your call, 
And I’ll catch the intonation of each syllable as it falls. 
No-one can replace it, my words cannot attain it, 
Your love is boundless, without condition, I fumble for words to explain it. 
Warm me with your love, thaw my unbelief 
Lift me from the floor and place me back upon my feet. 
You renew my strength so I can walk and not faint 
My hope is in You, You have my heart and my faith. 


Where would I be without You? 
My skin crawls with the very thought of a world without You. 
And even if I die I know that I can’t be without You 
Cos the afterlife means that after life I'll never be without You. 
But for now I'll focus on the time on earth we share 
And when the silence falls... shh...You're there. 
Still waiting to care for any load I have to bear 
So in the silence of these moments my heart whispers these prayers... 


When hope is lost I'll call You saviour, 
When pain surrounds I'll call You healer, 
When the silence falls You'll be the song within my heart. 


Insecurities had me going insane, I've never been so lame, 
Your voice to me was calming like rain on a window pane 
Not lusting or a flirt, never putting others first 
What a brother didn't deserve You covered with Your loving words. 
You reached out and embraced me, without You I'm flakey. 
But now I'm a new man because Your love completely remade me. 
Ever will You be the song of my heart, regardless. 
Cos You were the light of life that got sparked in my darkness. 
In spite of all my failures and mistakes, my shame and disgrace 
You took my life and covered it with grace. 
I know that all my steps are ordered by You, 
And so I step with confidence because Your love is true. 


Matthew West - This Turnaround


This rock is tied around my ankle
This thorn is buried in my skin
I wonder why I have to struggle
But then again
If I wasn't drowning I wouldn't need you to save me
If I wasn't broken I wouldn't need you to heal me
You keep me broken

Don't let this river get lost in the ocean
Don't let this rock take me down, down, down
My heart is standing at the edge of the world
I need you
To help me make the turnaround

So many puzzles with no answers
So many questions with no peace
So many second guesses
But then again I guess
If I wasn't drowning I wouldn't need you to save me
If I wasn't broken I wouldn't need you to heal me
Oh Lord I'm drowning

Don't let this river get lost in the ocean
Don't let this rock take me down, down, down
My heart is standing at the edge of the world
I need you
To help me make the turnaround

I need you
I know I need you
