This morning I got to spend a fair amount of money on new music thanks to Birthday iTunes Voucher gifts. So I will get this song in quick before it's potentially replaced by everything new I'm about to hear.
I LOVE everything by Audrey Assad, but if I had to pick a favourite it would be this one...
'Carry Me' - Audrey Assad, The House You're Building
Pain is a forest we all get lost in Between the branches hope can be so hard to see And in the darkness we've all got questions We're all just trying to make sense out of suffering but
You say I am blessed because of this So, I choose to believe As I carry this cross, You'll carry me Help me believe it
Fear is a current we all get caught in And in its motion faith can be so hard to find And we all falter 'cause we're all broken We're all just trying to turn the shadows into light but
You get glory in the midst of this And You're walking with me And you say I am blessed because of this So, I choose to believe As I carry this cross, You'll carry me
And I know Your promises are faithful And God, I've seen Your goodness in my life And oh, I've found Your mercy is a river Your love is an ocean wide
You say I am blessed because of this You get glory in the midst of this And You're walking with me
And You say I am blessed because of this So, I choose to believe As I carry this cross, as I carry this cross 'Cause as I carry this cross, You'll carry me
You'll carry me, God You'll carry me And Your love is an ocean wide
Yay for a new post that I am going to do (like the title suggests) once a week! That's one more step on the way to blogging more regularly!
To be honest this song has been a favourite of mine for a couple of months but I have listened to it particularly large amounts this week so it is still valid...
Come To Me - Jenn Johnson, Bethel Music - The Loft Sessions...
I am the Lord your God, I go before you now. I stand beside you, I’m all around you And though you feel I’m far away, I’m closer than your breath I am with you, More than you know I am the Lord your peace, No evil will conquer you Steady now your heart and mind, Come into my rest And oh, let your faith arise, And lift up your weary head I am with you, Wherever you go Come to me, I’m all you need Come to me, I’m everything Come to me, I’m all you need Come to me, I’m your everything I am your anchor, in the wind and the waves And I am your steadfast, so don’t be afraid Though your heart and flesh may fail you I’m your faithful strength And I am with you, Wherever you go Come to me, I’m all you need Come to me, I’m your everything Come to me, I’m all you need Come to me, I’m your everything Don’t look to the right or to the left, keep your eyes on me You will not be shaken, you will not be moved I am the hand to hold, I am the truth, I am the way Just come to me, come to me Cause I’m all that you need
