7in7, Session 5, Day 1.


VERSE 1:
I heard your mother died
I probably should’ve called
But I wasn’t sure what I might say
Or if you’d answer at all
So I just wrote a few words
And sent them how I could
Then convinced myself that I had done
Everything I should

CHORUS;
Well, nobody wins if I confuse
Losin’ friends with loose ends
Concerned with who sent
What to whom and when
What to whom and when

VERSE 2:
Maybe you were tied up
Or too frayed to know where to begin
Maybe I was right to
Be afraid that it would mean the end
Of all the hurt that I still clinch
So tight within my fists
Just a waste of all the time I’ve spent
Tryin’ to forget

CHORUS;
Well, nobody wins if I confuse
Losin’ friends with loose ends
Concerned with who sent
What to whom and when
What to whom and when

VERSE 3:
I heard you finally met a girl
And you made her your wife
Even adopted her little boy
Livin’ a whole new life
And I’d be lying if I claimed
It doesn’t hurt me at all
That I don’t even know their names
Cause you never bothered to call

CHORUS;
But nobody wins if I confuse
Losin’ friends with loose ends
Concerned with who sent
What to whom and when
Said nobody wins if I confuse
Losin’ friends with loose ends
Concerned with who sent
What to whom and when
What to whom and when

TAG:
I heard your mother died
I probably should’ve called

What, To Whom, and When

In All Times-7 in 7-Day 1

So here's the first song from Day 1 of 7in7. 
This song was inspired by a sermon from "The Gospel And" series we just finished at our church. Feel free to take a listen to the sermon here:

"The Gospel and Depression", it will give you some more insight to how these lyrics came about to the first song of 7in7. 


"You First Loved Me"

immeasurable love stirs my heart
satisfied in awe of you Lord 
warm embrace quickens my soul
restoration felt by your touch

waves of grace bring songs of hope
perfect love reminds my soul 

you first loved me
made my heart believe 
chained my soul to faithful truth
Forgiveness came through you

Calvary's Cross lifted high, 
wrath atoning payment was claimed
with crown of thorns, nailed pierced flesh, 
and reconciling blood from your hands

waves of grace bring songs of hope
perfect love reminds my soul 

you first loved me
made my heart believe 
chained my soul to faithful truth
Forgiveness came through you

Jesus Jesus Jesus Christ My Lord
Jesus Jesus Jesus Christ My Lord

you first loved me
made my heart believe 
chained my soul to faithful truth
Forgiveness came through you

immeasurable love stirs my heart
satisfied in awe of you Lord

You First Loved Me

Let me up darlin, let me go
Point me on my way to the great unknown
I'll look to the stars to light my way
But we'll all return to find
That love has made the road

Church bells ringin, the day has come
Two lovers singin lets go make our home
But we have failed to find the westward way
Our home we'll build in time
When love has made the road

All that we are, we give to You
All that we are, is all for You

The Road

Sons and brothers from my mother's side of the tree
They grew up in a sturdy house
One grey morning without warning a tragedy
The roof blew off and walls came down

     I don't claim to understand
     The pain you're standing in
     or the heat of the coals you're walking on

     Somewhere deep I hope you know
     There's a bridge to take you home
     And I can show you the way

Sons and brothers with one another coped with the loss
Of comfort and familiarity
Found themselves on distant paths they'd never crossed
Their shattered hearts could barely beat

     I don't claim to understand
     The pain you're standing in
     or the heat of the coals you're walking on

     Somewhere deep I hope you know
     There's a bridge to take you home
     And I can show you the way

Remember you're sons
Remember you're brothers
No, don't forget the truth

Then took his blood, the great atonement
And covered our sin and shame
