about

Woohoo for meeting my one-song-a-year goal, just in time!

This song is about the longing for what's beyond ourselves and how the only thing that fulfills that longing is Jesus. And only He can fix the things we try to hide.

lyrics

The good earth gathers up her dust
Spreads it on the broken road
It surrounds the lonely traveler
Strident, strong, he goes along
The path of winding clocks that never
Give a minute or pause

Quiet eyes pierce the sky
Looking to reclaim the night
Troubled hearts beat in time
To rhythms unidentified

Dreams and passions all stripped bare
Reveal a heart too hard to care
Of vain ambitions unaware
Clanging gongs conceal the tones
Reverberating in my bones
Like decorated catacombs

Quiet eyes pierce the sky
Looking to reclaim the night
Troubled hearts beat in time
To rhythms unidentified

We just cover up
Our eyes and say that we
That we have seen the light
We were never meant
To save ourselves from all
The things we try to hide

The river of my heart runs red
You alone can on it tread
And change its course to life from death
You gave Your life and mine atoned
Unveiled my eyes, with love unthroned me
And evacuated catacombs

Hands by my bleeding side
Salvation comes in the nick of time
Hands by Your bleeding side
Help my faith become my sight

Blinking eyes to the sky
Grateful You have claimed my life
Captive hearts beat in time
To rhythms wrought in Heavenly light
