Music Monday: Set Me As A Seal

Leave a comment

This Matt Maher song is based on the text of the Song of Songs:

Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a most vehement flame.

Song of Songs 8:6

Set me as a seal on your heart
Set me as a seal on your soul
As strong as death is love
Unyielding as the grave
Nothing will quench its flame
Nothing will quench its flame

Set me as a seal on your heart
Set me as a seal on your soul
As strong as death is love
Unyielding as the grave
Nothing will quench its flame
Nothing will quench its flame

Kiss me, my love thats unique
Beyond my lips
You intoxicate my being
With the fragrance of your presence

How beautiful you are, my darling
Show me your face, let me hear your voice
Sweet as the dew in the early morn’
Like a lily among the thorns

I looked for you, the one my heart loves
I looked for you, did not find you
Searched through the night
Until I rested in your sight
Now I will never let you go’

Cause you have stolen my heart
My sister, my bride
You’ve stolen my heart
With one glance of your eyes
Your lips so sweet, adorned with honey
My hands, they drip with myrrh

Music Monday: Perfect Father

Leave a comment

A friend of my back from in England just shared a song he wrote…

You made me from the dust of the earth 
Breathed Your life in me
You bought me with Your blood on the cross
Laid down Your life for me

What can I say before such mercy?
What can I do before such grace?
All I can do is say I’m thankful
All I can say to You is I’m Yours

You are my Perfect Father, 
Abba, forever in Your arms
(repeat)

You chose me to Yours from my birth, 
Your grace has called my name
You gave me everything that was Yours, 
For all my sin and shame

I need a deeper revelation an even greater understanding
Of the depths of Your forgiveness for me
Let me experience the heights the full dimensions of Your love
That You gave access through Your death on the cross

Music Monday: Forty Days

Leave a comment

Since it’s forty days until we say, “I do”…

Forty days to wander
Forty days to die to self
Forty days to grow stronger
As faith breaks open the gates of hell
The jubilee is over
But grace is far from gone
In the hearts of the faithful
Broken on the wheels of love

‘Cause in the desert of temptation
Lies the storm of true conversion
Where springs of living water drown and refresh you
And as the Jordan pours out change
Your true self is all that remains
Where springs of living water bind and break you
Bind and break you

Forty days to remember
The Paschal Sacrifice
Forty days to discover
His passion calls us to new life
The jubilee is over
But mercy’s far from gone
In the arms of the Father
As the wayward child comes home

‘Cause in the desert of temptation
Lies the storm of true conversion
Where springs of living water drown and refresh you
And as the Jordan pours out change
Your true self is all that remains
Where springs of living water bind and break you
Bind and break you

Bind and break you
Bind and break you
