i may yet spin and burn
i may yet cut and run
but you will see me through
i may yet fade and die
but you will see me through
in the springtime/i will see you
top the hill/i will meet you
in the springtime/i will feel again
winter's over/i will live again
in the springtime/i will hope again
mind will clear/i will dream again
in the springtime

i will see you
coming round the bend
i will meet you
oh sweet day to spend
and all the people we've loved will
sing along
they'll
come along
with us
like an elephant race
we gotta shoot straight
dry dirt underfoot
we can't stop and stay
like birds en route
we gotta shoot straight
with a song to sing
we can't stop and stay
like a buffalo run
we gotta shoot straight
hot days in the sun
we can't stop and stay

sweet child, born in blood
hard days, hardly stood
in your way // got out the way // for you
sweet child, mired in mud
hard days, hardly stood
in your way // got out the way // for you
as golden harps
fell all around
songs fell from skies
fell all around
as broken bones
came out the ground
songs sprung from lungs
came out the ground
sweet child, held down so long
hard days, you are so strong
go your way // you'll find your way // back home
sweet child, you've been wronged
hard days, you are so strong
go your way // you'll find your way // back home
new songs // new homes // new souls // new bones
new words // new days // new thoughts // new ways

IVa. Bitter Dose
06:01
|

|
it's a hard way to end
a year and a half
with a muddled mind
with a muddied hand
it's a hard way to end
it's a bitter dose to take
from another hand
it's in my veins
i fought in vain
it's a bitter dose to take
so i set my eyes like stone
and i lift up my chin
and i pick up all my bones
and breathe life in again
and i build my house on stone
and i make straight my frame
i will not be knocked down
when the winds come again
and i hope for hope
and i hope for joy
and i yearn to love
like i yearn to be loved

clean on the outside
full of death on the in
clean on the outside
stinks like death on the in
nothing but dead dry bones
in the valley of my sin
nothing but your sweet breath oh God
bring me to life again
bring me to life again (repeat)
skin like a leper
it ain't no match for the deep
all of me like a leper
seven times in the jordan
you can wash my feet
you can wash all of me
please wash my feet
i'd rather you wash all of me
wash all of me (repeat)
spit and mud in my eyes
trees and weeds walkin' round
lay your hands upon me
oh my eyes they are clouds
oh you will take of me
not sight but heart you've won
oh you will treasure me
i am your favorite son
favorite son (repeat)

comforter
you come to me
you hold me close
you set me free
you are the one
that i have been
waiting for

you spilled your blood
up on a tree
you are the one
that i have been
waiting for
creator
you formed my frame
you made me well
you number my days
you are the one
that i have been
waiting for
oh the rocks/they will/cry out/to You
with a voice/so strong/so pure/so true
telling stor/ies of/your maj/esty
they have sung/they will sing/for centuries

If I play “be still” followed by “Immanuel,” my 4 month old niece will finally relax and fall asleep. It’s so nice to get to sing to her and enjoy it and worship all at once. Thanks for creating beautiful music that speaks truth.

Can't recall how I found this release but I'm glad I did. Take whatever mood you're in and by the time you finish listening to this if you aren't left in a reflective, calm and ultimately grateful state about life - seek medical help. Beautiful.
