last song syndrome...
there has been one song in my heart and my mind for weeks (possibly a month even!) its David Crowder's -wholly yours...
i first heard it on new song cafe where David Crowder (one of the persons i look up to as a Christian musician) was interviewed by Vicky Beeching to teach this new song...
i was a fan of his guitar skills IMMEDIATELY! the way he played the song was so BRILLIANT!!! first i just liked to play it cause it made me look good as i play it (hehehe) and i kinda show off when i do forgive me please!
after i've gotten over the preliminary infatuation with how skillfully this song was made i tired to sing along as i played... as i expected it was really a challenge to do so,with all his finger movements! (am posting the video as well, so you'll all know what i am saying! hehehe!!!)
as i read thru the lyrics i found how deep and profound it was... it came closer to my heart... one of the parts that hit me was the first pre-chorus which sings:
But a certain sign of grace is this:
from the broken earth flowers come
pushing to the earth...
i was like, WOW! such poetry and truth! in a conversation with a friend we talked about what grace means... i loved how he defined grace... he said grace is receiving something we don't deserve! i just have to say it is mind blowing just trying to fathom what he has given us and why he gave it!
I am using this song (with some work around some lyrics) in the next Worship Service I'll lead at L.T.I. thats the first saturday of august at 9 am in buencamino in alabang just across honda
As i search deeper thru this song i find myself in the same position as David Crowder when he writes (tho i think it was his mum who wrote this song he said it in the video!) what i believe is the climax of this song,it sings:
But the harder I try
the more clearly can I
feel the depth of our fall
and the weight of it all
And so this might could be
the most impossible thing:
Your grandness in me
making me clean
Glory, hallelujah
i just love how well written this song is!
i really should say that our language hasn't come up with the adequate words to define what God has given us thru his Son,Jesus... like what the last bit said,the harder we try to imagine, fathom or comprehend his grace for us the more clearly we see our "un-worth"... we should just stop trying to put reason behind it and just be thankful of this precious gift!
i'll cap this post with the message that this song left in my spirit as i broke down the song to its very core...
this is the certain sign of grace he referred to:
from the broken earth
-earth-pertains to us for we were formed from the earth into his image and likeness
what makes the earth broken is that it is not watered by its farmer, in our case its the earth refusing to be watered! like us refusing God's love
flowers come pushing to the earth
-that in spite of everything, if we JUST let him into our hearts... receive his grace... and acknowledge that we are nothing without him... from within us a new creation will come pushing to the earth!
GLORY TO GOD!!!
