back from reprieve Floodby JARS OF CLAY Rain, rain on my face It hasn't stopped raining for days My world is a flood Slowly I become one with the mud But if I can't swim after forty days And my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves Lift me up so high that I cannot fall Lift me up Lift me up - when I'm falling Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying Lift me up - I need You to hold me Lift me up - keep me from drowning again Downpour on my soul Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control Dark sky all around I can't feel my feet touching the ground But if I can't swim after forty days And my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves Lift me up so high that I cannot fall Lift me up Calm the storms that drench my eyes Dry the streams still flowing Cast down all waves of sin And guilt that overthrow me But if I can't swim after forty days And my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves Lift me up so high that I cannot fall Lift me up Lift me up - when I'm falling Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying Lift me up - I need You to hold me Lift me up - keep me from drowning again -- i love live 8's version of this song. their guitar-stringed version of the intermission part is practically plucking on my heartstrings...sounds old world, rustic, rather nostalgic...hooks me right into it. yes, lord, i need you. these past seven days of hiding has been quite an eye-opener. i'm thinking of extending those seven days...sans the fasting. seen a lot, learnt a lot. and learnt that i've still much more to go. did i at least reach my goals at the end of this time? yes and no. i got the answer from god, which was ...wait.....which is something i kinda expected anyway, but it isn't exactly clear to me as to how i should go about handling or coping with it while i'm waiting. and that is what i intend to find out over the next few days... got a few rants to clear off...just to let out some steam...so will put that in a new post. i suppose it provides a comfortable distraction from the present state of matters, of which i have no control over. not that i ever did rule my life, but things did have some kind of order to it before i got messed up. |
