You're There to Carry Us Home

"You're There to Carry Us Home"

Catching my breath isn't something I do these days
When you steal it away, my volatile tongue cannot find any new words to say
So maybe I'll listen, for once I'll take Your words to heart
And my disposition, my stubborn discretion, will finally be torn apart

Sometimes a good night leaves you with such bitter taste
The drinks you consumed there to flesh you had left bare, you put your money to waste
I thought they had told you; beware of kind boys with touch
But the small of your back, he rested his hand on; you never said it was too much

We all cry sometimes
We put our trust in thinking we can make do
And we all hide sometimes
From a God who can cleanse our heart anew

Hallelujah, You're there to carry us home (x2)

The bullets we fired were aimed with the kill in mind
But somehow they missed You, they sailed right past You, we never knew we were so blind
And then we discovered the beauty of failing alone
Cause when we are fallen, disaster embodied, You're there to carry us home

We all cry sometimes
We put our trust in thinking we can make do
And we all hide sometimes
From a God who can cleanse our heart anew

Hallelujah, You're there to carry us home (x2)
Take a deep breath; listen, and He'll lead you home (x2)
Take his hand off; listen, and He'll lead you home
Take his hand off; listen, God will lead you home

The best part, I must confess: the look on your face just before you stop the video. The music is stunning, of course.

...see? Perfection would have been boring. ;)

Ah! Thanks!!! Why Jay and I aren't working together: Actually, there isn't really a reason for that anymore. Maybe i should ask him. I think he has a kid now...does that make things more difficult? Also, I'll be finished with school in a year, so I imagine we'll talk more once that's over with.

And thank you so much for posting the vid to your site and writing the nice blurb about jay and me. Things like that make the day so sweet.

Hope to see you vloggin again, soon!
