Song Lyrics

I have come to the realization that I haven't posted on here in a very long time. Well, I'm not feeling very creative today, so I'm just going to post the lyrics of a few songs that have encouraged me, or I just really like. There may or may not be commentary added by me. Enjoy :)


You Alone- Casting Pearls
I've come to Your throne here so cold and alone
I'm calling on Your name
I lift my hands to the sky open wide and I cry Lord, take me away
Take this heavy heart and this weary soul and set them free
Remove myself till there's nothing left but You alone in me
I'm letting go of all that I know
I'm holding on to You alone
I lay it all down down here at Your feet
I want You alone You alone
If I go to the heavens above Lord I know You are there
And if I make my bed in the depths lord I know You are there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn or settle on the far side of the sea
Even still, Lord, I know you will
You will always be there with me.
I'm letting go of all that I know
I'm holding on to You alone
I lay it all down, down here at Your feet
I want You alone You alone



To me, this song means letting go of your old life, of everything in the past. It's about forgetting everything that draws you away from God and trusting Him with your life. "Take this heavy heart and this weary soul and set them free. Remove myself till there's nothing left but You alone in me." Those are most definitely my favorite lyrics from the song. I have been having issues forgetting about my old life and leaving it all behind. I am struggling between my two lives. To me, these lines mean asking God to set me free from my misery and helping me to let it all go.


Rescue- Newsong
You are the source of life
I can't be left behind
No one else will do
I will take hold of You
I need You Jesus to come to my rescue
Where else can I go?
There's no other name by which I am saved
Capture me with grace
I will follow You

My heart is Yours for life
I need Your hand in mine
No one else will do
Lord, I put my trust in You 

I need You Jesus come to my rescue
Tell me where else can I go?
There's no other name by which I am saved
Capture me with grace
I will follow You
This world has nothing for me
I need You Jesus come to my rescue
Where else can I go?
There's no other name by which I am saved
Capture me with grace
Cause I need You Jesus
Come to my rescue
Tell me where else can I go?
There's no other name by which I am saved
Won't You capture me with grace
Won't You capture me with grace
I will follow you



This song kind of goes along with my favorite part of the last song. I like that it establishes that there is no way to be saved, except through God. It also says that there is nowhere else I can go to be saved. I need Jesus to rescue me from everything of this world. 


Savior King- Hillsong United
Let now the weak say I have strength
By the spirit of power that raised Christ from the dead
Let now the poor stand and confess
That my portion is Him and I'm more than blessed
Let now our hearts burn with a flame
A fire consuming all for Your Son's holy name
And with the heavens we declare
You are our king
We love You Lord, we worship You
You are our God, You alone are good
Let now Your church shine as the bride
That You saw in your heart as You offered up Your life
Let now the lost be welcomed home
By the saved and redeemed those adopted as Your own
Let now our hearts burn with a flame
A fire consuming all for Your Son's holy name
And with the heavens we declare
You are our king
We love You Lord, we worship You
You are our God, You alone are good
You asked Your Son to carry this
The heavy cross our weight of sin
I love you Lord, I worship You
Hope which was lost, now stands renewed
I give my life to honor this
The love of Christ, the Savior King
Let now our hearts burn with a flame
A fire consuming all for Your Son's holy name
And with the heavens we declare
You are our king
We love You Lord, we worship You
You are our God, You alone are good
You asked Your Son to carry this
The heavy cross our weight of sin
I love You Lord, I worship You
Hope which was lost, now stands renewed
I give my life to honor this
The love of Christ, the Savior King

I just really like this song. The lyrics show faith and everything God is. It is about giving your everything to Christ just as He gave His life for us. This song is basically what saved me. I was saved a little more than a day after hearing it. I guess that shows the power of words.



So that's it...I could probably post another 50 songs or so, but I actually have chores I should be doing. So..I hope you enjoyed them. Thanks for reading and have a great day. :) (Wow, that was cheesy.)
