Song of the Week

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

Song of the Week...

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
