An example…
This week I wrote about meaningful songs, songs that uplift, or just plain soothe. I first heard this song in the car, when I was having “one of those days”. Not only did it ring true to me in that moment but it certainly put things in perspective. Now every time I hear it it brings tears to my eyes and a smile to my face. This song is seared in my memory.
Bebo Norman - I Will Lift My Eyes
From the album Between The Dreaming & The Coming
God, my God, I cry out
Your beloved needs you now
God be near, calm my fear
And take my doubt
Your kindness is what pulls me up
Your love is all that draws me in
Chorus:
I will lift my eyes to the Maker
Of the mountains I can’t climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer
Of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer
Of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You
God, my God, let Mercy sing
Her melody over me
God, right here all I bring
Is all of me
Your kindness is what pulls me up
Your love is all that draws me in
Chorus:
‘Cause You are and You were and You will be forever
The Lover I need to save me
‘Cause You fashioned the earth and You hold it together, God
So hold me now

I don’t know that song, but those are wonderful lyrics.

It is a beautiful song. After I heard it on the radio I listened to some of this album on URGE, what a talented guy!
