Music Monday: Love God Love People

Leave a comment

I’ve been running in circles
Jumping the hurdles
Getting caught in that rush of doing so much
I’m feeling kinda worn out

All this checking the boxes
Trying to be flawless
Has me spinning my head, catching my breath
Too afraid to slow down

I tell myself to keep this up
That God wants more than just my love
But I’ve been complicating things
It’s just like me to overthink

Gotta keep it real simple, keep it real simple
Bring everything right back to ground zero
‘Cause it all comes down to this
Love God and love people (People)
We’re living in a world that keeps breakin’
But if we want to find a way to change it
It all comes down to this
Love God and love people

Oh, this is freedom (This is freedom)
The keys to the Kingdom (Hey-ey)
Knowing life will be found when love can be loud
‘Cause love is what it’s all about

Love is patient, love is kind
Rescues hearts and changes lives
Love is all we need to make things right
Gotta keep it real simple, oh
It’s really so simple, oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-ohh

We’re living in a world that keeps breakin’ (Oh yeah)
But if we want to find a way to change it (Find a way, yeah)
It all comes down to this (Everything comes down to this)
Love God and love people (Whoa)

Keep on loving, keep on loving
Love God and love people
So keep on loving, keep on loving
It’s all about love
It’s how we change the world
Love God and love people

Music Monday: Haven’t seen it yet

Leave a comment

There’s a new video out from Danny Gokey, “Haven’t Seen It Yet”:

Have you been praying and you still have no answers?
Have you been pouring out your heart for so many years?
Have you been hoping that things would have changed by now?
Have you cried all the faith you have through so many tears?

Don’t forget the things that He has done before
And remember He can do it all once more

It’s like the brightest sunrise
Waiting on the other side of the darkest night
Don’t ever lose hope, hold on and believe
Maybe you just haven’t seen it, just haven’t seen it yet
You’re closer than you think you are
Only moments from the break of dawn
All His promises are just up ahead
Maybe you just haven’t seen it, just haven’t seen it yet
Maybe you just haven’t seen it, just haven’t seen it yet
Maybe you just haven’t seen it

He had the solution before you had the problem
He sees the best in you when you feel at your worst
So in the questioning don’t ever doubt His love for you
‘Cause it’s only in His love that you’ll find a breakthrough, oh

He is moving with a love so deep
Hallelujah for the victory
Good things are coming even when we can’t see
We can’t see it yet, but we believe that
He is moving with a love so deep
Hallelujah for the victory
Good things are coming even when we can’t see
We can’t see it yet, but we believe that

Music Monday: Masterpiece

Leave a comment

I came across a new song from Danny Gokey, Masterpiece:

Heartbreaks a bittersweet sound
Know it well It’s ringing in my ears
And I can’t understand
Why I’m not fixed by now
Begged and I pleaded
Take this pain but I’m still bleeding

Heart trusts you for certain
Head says it’s not working
I’m stuck here still hurting
But you tell me

You’re making a masterpiece
You shaping the soul in me
You’re moving where I can’t see
And all I am is in your hands
You’re taking me all apart
Like it was your plan from the start
To finish your work of art for all to see you’re making a masterpiece

Guess I’m your canvas
Beautiful black and blue
Painted in mercy’s hue
I don’t see past this
You see me now
Who I’ll be then
There at the end
Standing there as

Heart trust you for certain
Head says it’s not working

I will be your masterpiece

Music Monday: Que Tu Corazón vuelva a latir

Leave a comment

Last year I shared a song sung by Danny Gokey, Tell your heart to beat again, as well as its background story. This morning YouTube let me know that a Spanish version of the song has been recorded:

Destrozado como nunca antes
Y tu vida está rota en mil pedazos, que dolor
Y las palabras no importan ya
Cuando este mundo te trata mal
Y piensas que nunca serás
El mismo de antes otra ves

Dile a tu corazón que hoy vuelva a latir
Y la oscuridad se irá, con su gracia y su verdad
El ayer quedo atrás, ya no vives ahí más
Deja atrás todo el dolor y hoy vuelve a vivir

Comienza desde el principio otra vez
Todo está bien, la sanidad del amor llego
Levántate a caminar y que el sol brille sobre ti
Porque tú historia no ha acabado
Un viaje nuevo va a empezar

Que toda herida y desamor
Sean una memoria viva
De aquel que te ayudo
Pues el amor todo lo ve
Y el cielo está obrando todo para ti bien

Music Monday: Tell your heart to beat again

The title track from Danny Gokey’s album “Hope in Front of Me” was my favourite song of 2015, but this one was right on its heels. This is “Tell your heart to beat again”:

You’re shattered
Like you’ve never been before
The life you knew
In a thousand pieces on the floor
And words fall short in times like these
When this world drives you to your knees
You think you’re never gonna get back
To the you that used to be

Tell your heart to beat again
Close your eyes and breathe it in
Let the shadows fall away
Step into the light of grace
Yesterday’s a closing door
You don’t live there anymore
Say goodbye to where you’ve been
And tell your heart to beat again

Beginning
Just let that word wash over you
It’s alright now
Love’s healing hands have pulled you through
So get back up, take step one
Leave the darkness, feel the sun
Cause your story’s far from over
And your journey’s just begun

Let every heartbreak
And every scar
Be a picture that reminds you
Who has carried you this far
‘Cause love sees farther than you ever could
In this moment heaven’s working
Everything for your good
