Music Monday: Peace be still

Leave a comment

Today’s song is another from John Finch’s Wildfire album, “Peace be still”:

There is one name that can tame
the raging seas of my heart
through every trial and every fear
Jesus, I know You’re near

Peace be still
Peace be still
In the name of Jesus

In my affliction, You are my shield
You never let me go
Your word is comfort, Your name is power
I rest in You my Savior

In the sleepless nights
In the darkest times
You are there with me

When the morning comes
And I can feel the sun
You are there with me

Here’s the title track from the new John Finch album, Wildfire:

You are my hearts one desire
Cleanse my soul with Your fire
You make me anew
You make me anew

You are a flame alive in me
Within my heart burning deep
You shine through the dark
You shine through the dark

It’s burning, burning, burning
Spreading wild and free
It’s burning burning, burning
Like a wildfire in me, like a wildfire in me

As an ember fades away
My soul gets tired, I need Your grace
You give me life
You give me life

Uncontrollable
Oh so beautiful
Your love consumes me
It’s unstoppable
Oh so powerful
Your love consumes me

Music Monday: Saviour of the World

I came across another John Finch song, “Saviour of the World”…

We are waiting for your coming
For your mercy and your grace
We are desperate in our longing
Only you can save

Lord we’re longing, we’re longing
For your coming, your coming
Hope is rising it’s rising
You’re the Savior of the world x2

We are filled with expectation
Of the peace that you will bring
You’re the hope for every nation
You’re the one who sets us free

You have come to save us
You’re the savior of the world

Another song from my current favourite, John Finch. This is “Praise to you”…

For all that You are
And all that You’ve done
We gather in worship
We lift our hands to the One

Praise to You O Lord Jesus Christ
You will reign forever

Your name shakes the mountains
Your voice calms the sea
You’re greater than my failures
For Your grace abounds in me

Holy Spirit come
Let your will be done
Have Your way in me

Your presence fills my heart
You’re throned in majesty
We will glorify Your name
Jesus You are King!

Music Monday: Heart of Mercy

I’m still on a John Finch kick at the moment. Today’s song is a duet with Rita West, a delightful song entitled “Heart of Mercy”:

There is a harbor for those in need of safety,
a place, a place where we can rest.
There is a father, who left his thrown above,
to find, to find this wayward soul.
I’m drawing closer…

Into the heart, into the heart of mercy
that bore my shame, and broke my chains at Calvary.
That love poured out, and saved by grace you lead me home.
Into the heart of God, into the heart of mercy.

I run to you, your arms are open wide.
Forgiven, forgiven and set free.
I’ll follow you for you have made a way,
to mend, to mend this broken heart.
I’m falling deeper…

Blood and water, pouring from your side
it floods my heart and brings me back to life. x2

Music Monday: Walk by faith

Leave a comment

Today’s song is one which I discovered through the Catholic Playlist Show and I’ve had it on pretty much constantly this entire weekend. The tune is catchy, but it was the lyrics which caught the heart of this Restless Pilgrim! The song is “Walk by faith” by John Finch:

There are days I still long for purpose
to see the plans that you have willed for me.
Though sometimes I am walking through the valley,
I’m certain you are always right beside me

Even when I can’t see, I can’t see…
And you have gone before me, before me…
And I will walk by faith, I will walk by faith
The future is a mystery, a mystery…
Forever will you lead me, lead me…
And I will walk by faith, I will walk by faith

Lord, I’m looking for a perfect answer
to all the questions my heart begs of you
And if you give me more than I can handle,
I will pray for strength to make it through

You’re my confidence, my life is in your hands x2
