this week

This week has been too much. Too much wrongness--all over the world. It's funny when I hear a song I really like but I have no idea what it says, but then I look at the words and they just seem so right too. This week it was "Into The Day" by Bebo Norman. Jesse bought the CD and I really like it. (I don't usually post about music, but this really resonated with me.)

You could turn a hundred years and never empty all your fears
They’re pouring out like broken words and broken bones
They could fill a thousand pages, be the cry for all the ages
And the song for every soul who stands alone
The ache of life is more than you are able
Hold on love, don’t give up
Don’t close your eyes
The light is breaking through the night

Then soon (but, not soon enough) we'll

Step out into the day, all the clouds and all the rain are gone
It’s over now
Step out into the sun, for you have only begun to know
What it’s all about
As the hungering dark gives way to the dawn, my love
It’s over now

Also good for me this week is Andrew Peterson's "More." Pastor Rich gave a bunch of us The Far Country from which I had several songs, but not this one. It was good for me.

There is more
More than all this pain
More than all the falling down
And the getting up again
There is more
More than we can see
From our tiny vantage point
In this vast eternity
There is more

There is more than what the naked eye can see
Clothing all our days with mystery
Watching over everything
Wilder than our wildest dreams
Could ever dream to be
There is more
