iris (cover)

“Been Here All Along” is a gentle yet uplifting indie-folk song about the quiet arrival of inspiration and the threads of creation woven through us. Beginning in soft intimacy with acoustic guitar and whispered imagery, the song grows into a radiant, layered chorus of strings, harmonies, and light percussion. It carries the message that what we seek outside has always been within, waiting to be remembered.

O Lord! Unto Thee I repair for refuge, and toward all Thy signs I set my heart. 
Whether traveling or at home, and in my occupation or in my work, I place my whole trust in Thee. 

F G C Am G
Grant me then Thy sufficing help so as to make me independent of all things, O Thou Who art unsurpassed in Thy mercy!

O Thou Who art unsurpassed

Bestow upon me my portion, O Lord, as Thou pleasest, and cause me to be satisfied with whatsoever Thou hast

ordained for me.

Thine is the absolute authority to command.

Repair For Refuge

Chords: E A D E

O SON OF UTTERANCE! Turn thy face unto Mine and renounce all save Me; for My sovereignty endureth 
and My dominion perisheth not.  x3
If thou seekest another than Me, yea, if thou searchest the universe for evermore, thy quest will be in vain.

O Son Of Utterance

Chords: A A7 A5 D Dmin

If it be Thy pleasure, make me to grow as a tender herb in the meadows of Thy grace, that the gentle winds of Thy will may stir me up and bend me into conformity with Thy pleasure, in such wise that my movement and my stillness may be wholly directed by Thee.
