i was just listening to these songs and they all struck me in one way or another. what do i know? in the grand scheme of things i don't know a whole lot. i don't always love and i don't really know holy all that well if at all. but i do know how to stick together and for that i'm grateful for my friends for my family (some not all i know i know... but can't blame me everyone has those thoughts). this is the day and this is the year. i dunno what God has planned but i'm sorta curious to find out i mean i know i don't know right now but i just don't know. and sometimes the fear of the unknown gets me right to the core but i know i have to deal with it. i can't think or worry i just have to shut up and wait. i'm still learning and i'm not so far in my learnings i dunno if that will ever happen i'm sure there will always be a backslide but i'll try and keep on swimming. hope you enjoy the songs. some of the lyrics i posted the whole song some just the part that got to me :)
"what do i know of holy"
I made You promises a thousand times I tried to hear from Heaven But I talked the whole time
I think I made You too small I never feared You at all No If You touched my face would I know You? Looked into my eyes could I behold You?
(CHORUS)
What do I know of You Who spoke me into motion? Where have I even stood But the shore along Your ocean? Are You fire? Are You fury? Are You sacred? Are You beautiful? What do I know? What do I know of Holy?
I guess I thought that I had figured You out I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about How You were mighty to save Those were only empty words on a page Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees
"always love"
To make a mountain of Your life is just a choice But I never learned enough to listen to The voice that told me Always love Hate will get you everytime Always love Don't wait 'til the finish line
Slow demands come 'round Squeeze the air and keep the rest out It helps to write it down Even when you then cross it out
(CHORUS)
But always love Hate will get you everytime Always love Even when you want to fight
Self directed lives I want to know what it'd be like To aim so high above Any card that you get dealt you
(CHORUS 2)
Always love Hate will get you everytime Always love Hate will get you I've been held back by something, yeah You said to me quietly on the stairs I've been held back by something, yeah You said to me quietly on the stairs You said Hey you good ones
"This is our day"
What we do here is just the beginning New life is starting at every ending We are a part of the story unfolding This is the weight of the world we are holding This could be our day This could be our day
Clearly it’s time to make a change Or I could keep sitting and waste all day I know that it’s time for me to move I’ve been given this minute to use And given this moment to prove that
What we do here is just the beginning New life is starting at every ending We are a part of the story unfolding This is the weight of the world we are holding This could be our day This could be our day
I was holding back Now I’ve come undone I want to touch the world Heal the broken ones Ending the cycle has just begun We’ve been given this minute to use And given this life to prove
What we do here is just the beginning New life is starting at every ending We are a part of the story unfolding This is the weight of the world we are holding This could be our day This could be our day
To give ourselves away For something beautiful A million miles away To the one who’s hungry, and thirsty And needs some hope To the people that are weary and broken and left alone I’m giving myself away I’m giving myself away
What we do here is just the beginning New life is starting at every ending We are a part of the story unfolding This is the weight of the world we are holding This could be our day This could be our day
"sticking with you"
Come on, it's me you're talking to
there's something going on inside of you
don't have to say it, but i whish you would
cause it would be much easier
You always hide behind yourself
you walk a lonely road with no one's help
i hate to break the news
you're headed for a fall
And if i have to jump
then I'll jump
and I wont look down
you can cry, you can fight, we scream and shout
I'll push and pull
until your walls come down
and you understand I'm gonna be around
I'm sticking with you
Even if you try and shut me out
I'm staying here 'cause thats what love's about
I might let you down, but i won't let you go
So lean into me, I want to know
Everything about the fear you hold inside
'cause you and i are better off than just one so
Chorus
If thats what it means to love you
If that's what it means to have your back
If that what it takes to show you
Then I'm in, I'm in
not my type of music to pull me in, but it is great that they have been able to speak to you like that!
