read between the lines
needy i used to sing this song everytime i feel depressed. the beauty of this song was it expressed a simple yet earnest prayer from my heart calling out for a god whom i know hears me. my 4 previous albums, got reduced to one (skillet), cos the rest (the originals) have been returned to their rightful owners and my cd player, over the months, has stopped being able to read burned cds. usually if i'm that desperate i play burned cds on my laptop, but these days it's so troublesome just taking it out from the bag and putting it in again.so i've resorted to backdated music that's served me well over the years. and this song's one of them. it may be months, years later, but i still sing it with the same fervour that i used to sing it. Let That Be Enough by Switchfoot Wish I had what I needed To be on my own 'Cause I feel so defeated And I'm feeling alone And it all seems so helpless And I have no plans I'm a plane in the sunset With no where to land And all I see It could never make me happy And all my sand castles Spend their time collapsing Let me know that You hear me Let me know Your touch Let me know that You love me And let that be enough It's my birthday tomorrow No one here could know I was born this Thursday 22 years ago And I feel stuck Watching history repeating Yeah, who am I? Just a kid who know he's needy Let me know that You hear me Let me know Your touch Let me know that You love me And let that be enough -- god, you know i love you and desire to grow closer to you. then why does it hurt so bad to have to go through this time of discovering you, as if i don't like knowing you better? the self versus self. godly versus carnal. new versus old. i think the self just doesn't like dying. frankly speaking, there isn't much of a self in me cos my self-esteem is practically nil, according to my friend, but i still have desires. "selfish ambitions" as the bible calls it. no, jess, you can't have your cake and eat it too. distractions, distractions. all a ploy to divert my attention from the goal, to shift my focus away from who i need to be focusing on. it's very distracting, these distractions. |
