Music Monday: C.S. Lewis Song

I can’t believe I hadn’t come across this until now… This is Brooke Fraser’s “C.S. Lewis Song”:

If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy,
I can only conclude that I was not made for here
If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary,
Then of course I’ll feel nude when to where I’m destined I’m compared

Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
I will sigh and with all creation groan as I wait for hope to come for me

Am I lost or just found? on the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way?
Is this a soul that stirs in me, is it breaking free, wanting to come alive?
Cos my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
An avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become

For we, we are not long here
Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it
And I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know you
Hope is coming for me
Hope, he’s coming

Music Monday: Even Then

Today’s song is “Even Then” by Micah Tyler:

On the nights when the dark last a little bit longer
When the wind and the storm is a little bit stronger
When the fear in my heart dips a little bit deeper
When my faith to stand gets a little bit weaker

Where could I run to?
Where could I go?

Even when it feels like my world is shaken
Even when I’ve had all that I can take
I know
You never let me go, whoa
And even when the waters won’t stop rising
Even when I’m caught in the dead of a night
I know
No matter how it ends
You’re with me even then

When the days up ahead look a little bit brighter
But the grip of the past holds a little bit tighter
I’m reminded Your grace never asks for perfection
Oh I’m restored ’cause I’m Yours and I stand forgiven

And even in the middle of a struggle
And even when it’s hard to remember
You alone are my defense when
I’m standing on Your promises and I know
That even in the thick of the battle
And even through the valley of the shadows
You alone are my defense when
I’m standing on Your promises so

Music Monday: Unstoppable

This is “Unstoppable” by North High:

[Verse  1]
Something changed
I am not the same
As I was before
Everything’s 
Rearranged
I am less and you are more
I didn’t even know that I was thirsty
But when you rain it pours
I’m not worthy of this grace and mercy
That you died for

[Chorus]
But you showed me that love is 
Unconditional
Laying down your life is so 
untypical
With you there is nothing that’s impossible
You are Unstoppable

[Verse 2]
Kinda hard hearing you over
All this Noise
When I’m treating you like a last chance
Instead of My first choice
If freedom in surrender’s never ending
I want things your way
I used to run fast and far to dodge you
Now I’m begging you to stay

[Verse 3]
I wanna see your
Kingdom come
So take my life and let
Your will be done
I don’t have to do anything at all
You are Unstoppable

[Bridge]
Welcome to the mess again
You Gotta Get me outta what I got me in
Pay attention to the weight that’s lifting
When I pray my senses shifting
Lord fix my heart, Please Break me apart
I am so sick and tired of walking in the dark
Breaking through the walls I built, humbled and thankful for the blood  you spilled
Every time that I feel defeated I know you already beat it
I believe you died for me you set me free there is no doubt
You are unstoppable it’s not too hard to figure out

Music Monday: Only Jesus

I have shared this song before, but I recently came across a lyric video version of it that I thought was worth sharing. This is “Only Jesus” by Casting Crowns:

Make it count, leave a mark, build a name for yourself
Dream your dreams, chase your heart, above all else
Make a name the world remembers
But all an empty world can sell is empty dreams
I got lost in the light but it was up to me
To make a name the world remembers
But Jesus is the only name to remember

And I, I don’t want to leave a legacy
I don’t care if they remember me
Only Jesus
And I, I’ve only got one life to live
I’ll let every second point to Him
Only Jesus

All the kingdoms built, all the trophies won
Will crumble into dust when it’s said and done
‘Cause all that really matters
Did I live the truth to the ones I love
Was my life the proof that there is only One
Whose name will last forever

Jesus is the only name x2
Jesus is the only name to remember
Jesus is the only name x2
Jesus is the only name to remember

Jesus is the only name to remember
I don’t want to leave a legacy
I don’t care if they remember me
Only Jesus
Only Jesus

Music Monday: Love like this

When I am a wasteland
You are the water
When I am the winter
You are the fire that burns

When I am a long night
You are the sunrise
When I am a desert
You are the river that turns
To find meWhat have I done to deserve love like this?
What have I done to deserve love like this?

Your voice like a whisper
Breaking the silence
You say there’s a treasure
You’ll look ’til You find it
You search 
To find me

What have I done to deserve love like this?
What have I done to deserve love like this?
I cannot earn what You so freely give
What have I done to deserve love like this?

Hallelujah x4

Music Monday: Pie Jesus

I’ve been listening to a lot of Future of Forestry. They’re surprisingly diverse in their musical choices. Here’s their rendition of “Pie Jesu”:

Pie Jesu, pie Jesu, pie Jesu, pie Jesu
Merciful Jesus, merciful Jesus, merciful Jesus, merciful Jesus

Qui tollis peccata mundi
Father, who takes away the sins of the world

Dona eis requiem, dona eis requiem
Grant them rest, grant them rest

Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei
Lamb of God, Lamb of God, Lamb of God, Lamb of God

Sempiternam requiem
Everlasting peace

Music Monday: Less of me

Today’s song is another from Tori Harris, a mellow number called “Less of Me”…

Lord, here I am
Here are my hands
they’re fragile, they’re small and they’re empty
but I give them to You

Lord, here I find
Here is my mind
It’s ignorant, it’s dim and it’s prideful
But I give it all to You

May there be less of me and more of You
May there be less of me my God
May there be less of me and more of You
May there be less of me my God
Because I’m small and I’m fragile and I’m empty
But I give it all to You

Lord, I’ll be still
Here is my will
It’s stubborn and it’s selfish and it’s weak
But I give it all to You

Love come quickly! Fall upon me! x3
