bad recording of a song i'm hoping to have a good recording of soon

Lyrics:

You sang the stars
out of darkness, You composed a fire
You called the world into form out of chaos
yet, for all of that noise
You dwell in the quiet places
You're the truest form 
of which i am but a shadow

so what can i say about the things You've done?
when i was a broken promise, You made me another one

You crafted my frame
out of earth, You formed my complexion
You called it good
but we both know, now i'm something different
yet, for all of that noise
You pull me to quiet places
You're the purest love of which i am but a taker

so what can i say about the things You've done?
when i was a broken promise, You made me another one

You found me in my desperate raging
You called my name, like You know how it is
like every doubt that I've ever lain in
You've called Your own, and You understand it

the Word became flesh
that Bright Light descended in darkness
the Image, it spread
and colored the fear a deep shade of wonder
yet for all of that noise
we fell into quiet places
You're the only Hope for the problem we cannot escape

Noise (Demo)

demo for a song i'm hoping to record soon.

Lyrics:
You were a bonfire
creation, the ash coming off Your flame
i am a shadow
thrown to the ground by the light You gave
You were a mending force
patching up wounds, making dead things breathe
i am a fracture
split to the core
but You can fix me

so we wait for the day
we'd rise from the darkness inside us
when every good and broken thing
will meet You there on that golden shoreline
and we won't need the stars to guide us
there's a New Light in the sky

You were a writer
twisting the plot so the words don't fade
i am the margin
framing the side of the phrases You laid
You hold the best intentions
of gravel and dust in time and space
i am the friction
between bending the knee and running away

so we wait for the day
we'd rise from the darkness inside us
when every good and broken thing
will meet You there on that golden shoreline
and we won't need the stars to guide us
there's a New Light in the sky

and it's breaking through even now
it's breaking down the fears we've called our refuge
and even now we can see the faintest Light, like a crack in Time
like You're already there and You're calling us home
to the new world that You've grown

Bonfire (Demo)

Shadow (live at ubc)

this song was written in the summer of 2016 in the wake of a series of tragic events that continues to grow. it is loosely inspired by the Martha Stevens hymn by the same name and includes most of that hymn's chorus.
