SOTW #3

OK, even though it might seem like it, I'm not in love with Brooke Fraser. Maybe her voice. Definitely her words. I promise, I will pick other artists but I mean, c'mon! This song just hits it out of the park for me. One of the girls at church yesterday just killed it. Did an absolutely marvelous job with it. Todd asked us to underline any part of the song where the words stood out, where you felt like God was speaking to you. I underlined "Still standing."

What did you underline?




Shadowfeet

By Brooke Fraser
Off the Album "Albertine"

Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet
Toward home, a land that I've never seen
I am changing, less and less asleep
Made of different stuff than when i began
And i have sensed it all along
Fast approaching is the day

[CHORUS]
When the world has fallen out from under me
I'll be found in you, still standing
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
When time and space are through
I'll be found in you

There's distraction buzzing in my head
Saying in the shadows it's easier to stay
But I've heard rumours of true reality
Whispers of a well-lit way

[CHORUS]

You make all things new
You make all things new
You make all things new
You make all things
You make all things

[CHORUS 2]

When the world has fallen out from under me
I'll be found in you, still standing
Every fear and accusation under my feet
When time and space are through
I'll be found in you

When time and space are through
I'll be found in you
When time and space are through
I'll be found in you

Song of the week

I usually pick a new song for my myspace page every week. A song that's touched me. I'm thinking that maybe I will do that on here as well. I love how music touches me so deeply. Even before I was saved it was like that for me. Here's the one that's been calling to me at Journey lately. I had to look up who the artist was. Hillsong. Imagine that. Those cats can flat out write a worship song can't they? I'm not so enamored of their prosperity type ministry but I love their songs. If I had a top 10 I think they would have every slot except for a couple of Chris Tomlin and David Crowder tunes up in the mix. Anyway, without further ado, the song of the week:

You'll Come



Lyrics by Brooke Fraser

Chains be broken
Lives be healed
Eyes be opened
Christ is revealed

I have decided
I have resolved
To wait upon You Lord

My rock and Redeemer
Shield and reward
I'll wait upon You Lord

As surely as the sun will rise
You'll come to us
Certain as the dawn appears

You'll come
Let Your glory fall as You respond to us
Spirit rain
Flood into our thirsty hearts again
You'll come
You'll come

We are not shaken
We are not moved
We wait upon You Lord
Mighty deliverer
Triumph and truth
We wait upon You Lord

As surely as the sun will rise
You'll come to us
Certain as Your word endures

You'll come
Let Your glory fall as You respond to us

Spirit rain
Flood into our thirsty hearts again
You'll come
You'll come

Chains be broken
Lives be healed
Eyes be opened
Christ is revealed

What are some of your favorite worship songs?
