Grace

I don't think that ever before has there been an artist who so consistently encapsulates part of me in their lyrics and music.  Phil Wickham does it so beautifully, expressing the weakness and desperation and crapness of humanity, of me, in a way that highlights our/my need for God ever-more.  

He will probably pop up quite a lot on here, but today, as on many other days, 'Grace' is definately the song of the moment.  It expresses a complete desperation for God in the midst of a painful and difficult time...at least for me.  And that's me.

The sky is grey and the light is far, the sea is a rage within my heart.  I turn my sight to the crashing waves, i cry in the night just to be saved.

I need eyes to be my guide, i need a voice that's louder than mine, i need hope, i need You, cause i can't do this alone.

Grace, i call Your name, oh won't Your smile fall over me? I'm cracked and dry, on hands and knees, oh sweet grace rain down on me.  I need You Grace.

I pray for dawn a new day to live, I pray for mercy only Jesus gives.  Though darkness falls and a million cry, i believe over all there's a greater light shining for us. 

Come down and save me.
