Hello Lord, it's me your child I have a few things on my mind Right now I'm faced with big decisions And I'm wondering if you have a minute, cuz Right now I don't hear so well And I was wondering if you could speak up
I know that you tore the veil So I could sit with you in person And hear what you're saying but Right now, I just can't hear you.
I don't doubt your sovereignty I doubt my own ability to Hear what you're saying And to do the right thing And I desperately want to do the right thing But right now I don't hear so well And I was wondering if you could speak up
I know that you tore the veil So I could sit with you in person And hear what you're saying but Right now, I just can't hear you.
And somewhere in the back of my mind I think you are telling me to wait And though patience has never been mine Lord, I will wait to hear from you Oh Lord, I'm waiting on you
Right now I don't hear so well And I was wondering if you could speak up
I know that you tore the veil So I could sit with you in person And hear what you're saying but Right now, I think you're whispering
"Music strikes me in a deep fit of devotion, and a profound contemplation on the First Composer. There is something in it of Divinity more than the ear discovers." Sir Thomas Browne
On Fire by Switchfoot
This song is about desiring all God has for you. People try to tell you everything you need to know in life, who you need to know to get to the place they tell you that you need to go but everything inside you knows that there's so much to life that when you have God you have everything.
Once you get a taste of His love and His glory it feels like you're on fire surrounded by everything that He is in all His glory. His love, how He came down to rescue us is a mystery. How He was fully man and fully God and never sinned, is a mystery. There are so many mysteries about God and the closerwe get to Him the more our hearts burn for Him. The more we desire Him.
This song is about being lost in God's fire and having a passion that's like a fire in your heart for God.
His word is like a fire burning up inside me. I cannot keep it to myself I must share this love with the world. Jeremiah 20:9-- Kool Christian Girl
People living their lives for you on TV They say they're better than you and you agree He says "Hold my calls from behind those cold brick walls" Says "Come here boys, there ain't nothing for free" Another doctor's bill, a lawyer's bill Another cute cheap thrill
You know you love him if you put in your will Who will save your soul when it comes to the flower Who will save your soul after all the lies that you told, boy Who will save your soul if you won't save your own?
We try to hustle them, try to bustle them, try to cuss them The cops want someone to bust down on Orleans Avenue Another day, another dollar, another war, another tower Went up where the homeless had their homes
So we pray to as many different God's as there are flowers But we call religion our friend We're so worried about saving our souls Afraid that God will take His toll That we forget to begin
Who will save your soul when it comes to the flower Who will save your soul after all the lies that you told, boy Who will save your soul if you won't save your own?
Some are walking, some are talking, some are stalking their kill You got social security, but that don't pay your bills There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay So you bargain with the Devil, say you're OK for today, You say that you love them, take their money and run Say it's been swell, sweetheart, but it was just one of those things Those flings, those strings you've got to cut, So get out on the streets, girls, and bust you butts.
Who will save you soul when it comes to the flower Who will save you soul after all the lies that you told, boy Who will save your soul if you won't save you own?

OBSERVATION: Have you ever been in a desperate situation? Did you ever thank God for saving you? It's never too late. If you are at a loss for words why not thank him for his deliverance and for answering your prayers?
Time to tell me the truth To burden your mouth for what you say No pieces of paper in the way Cause i cant continue pretending to choose The opposite sides on which we fall The loving you laters if at all No right minds could wrong be this many times
My memory is cruel Im queen of attention to details Defending intentions if he fails Until now, he told me her name It sounded familiar in a way I could have sworn i'd heard him say it ten thousand times If only i had been listening
Leave unsaid unspoken Eyes wide shut unopened You and me Always between the lines Between the lines
I thought i thought i was ready to bleed That we'd move from the shadows on the wall And stand in the center of it all Too late two choices to stay or to leave Mine was so easy to uncover He'd already left with the other So i've learned to listen through silence
Leave unsaid unspoken Eyes wide shut unopened You and me always be You and me always be
I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on Wait for me i'm almost ready When he meant let go
Leave unsaid unspoken Eyes wide shut unopened You and me Always be You and me Always between the lines
