Music Monday: Love will heal

Today is another song from PJ Anderson, a song which was performed at the March For Life in Washington DC last year:

Who knew there’d be a day
Where we’d have to fight for this
To be the voice of righteousness
To speak for those unheard

For all our beating hearts
Began in the same love
No one should take away from us
The simple right to live

Hear our voice
We are one
We will fight until we’ve won

Love will heal every heart
We will fight until we’ve won
Until we’ve won

Our history is burdened by all the violence
The hatred and defiance of
The love for which we’re made

But we are here to be the ears for the broken
The voice for those unspoken
The future can be peace

Only love can change hearts
Let your peace be the spark

 

Music Monday: Wounded Healer

As Audrey Assad’s new album is set to drop, she’s released another new single, “Wounded Healer”. It’s a wonderful track, even aside from the fact that it’s also the title of a Henri Nouwen book. Man, does this woman have the ability to read my soul…

Image of the Invisible
In our wounds we feel you near
God of heaven in flesh and bone
By your wounds we shall be healed

Wounded healer, we give our hearts to you x2

Arms stretched out not to part the seas
but to open up the grave
Blood poured out not for war, but peace
And to show us God’s own face.

No fire; no fury
just death into life
Over and over
Til all things are right

Music Monday: Make Me New

A rather different entry this week, the rather delicate and thoughtful “Make me new” with Pat D’Angelo:

I’ve played the game before chasing after fame and needing more
Don’t you know you showed me that I need you?
I need you, you’re making me new…

I don’t know what to do but trust in you, trust in you alone
You make me more than I could ever make myself
More than I could make myself, you make me new…

Your love for me is greater than I’ve ever known
Your presence fills my heart and makes me fill I’m not alone
I need you, you’re making me new…

Music Monday: Rise

This week we have another song from PJ Anderson, “Rise”….

Everyday is a struggle to believe, still we rise
It’s time to put distance between truth and all the lies
We are not just rising to give in to the fall
Your love has come to bring new life to us all

We rise, we rise, from the darkness we will rise x2

We will fight for justice in our world and our lives
We will challenge cultures that do not value life
We will stand united for our Hope makes us one
Your truth is amour and this battle will be won

We will rise with you, live our lives for your
We will rise with you, give our lives to you x2

 

Music Monday: Victorious

Happy Monday! I recently discovered the Catholic musician, PJ Anderson. His song “Victorious” is just the sort of song to kick off the week…

Sky turned dark
All our hope, all our hope was gone,
Lay deep in a garden tomb,
Was our hope, was it really you? x2

No grief can hold you down,
Risen from the ground,
Victorious over sin and death
Peace has come again,
Risen from the ground, victorious

Your blood poured out,
Our hearts were filled with doubt,
For our Saviour with nails in hand,
And no promise of a Promised Land

Victorious, in your death, we have life…
