O Troubled Soul Be Still

Our Song In The Night

Isaiah 9

I've been looking
I've been looking for so long
For a place to lay my head, lay it down

I have wandered
I have wandered far and wide
Searching for some peace of mind, all my life

This burden keeps me walking on
It's the good of what we have
And the promise of what life could be
Oh teach me to live

I've got a son
I've got a daughter and a son
I don't want to teach them how to run
When the road gets long

What Could Be (7in7, day 1)

From dust you came
To dust you will return
It's a sign up in the yard
Then a flower on the urn
Still, life is so precious
This movement, these words in the air

We choose our beds
We choose them everyday
God knows the choice is never easy
And God loves the broken heart
The one who sees the dirt on his feet

A photograph in black and white
A broken man, a lonely night
The whiskey runs and so does he
Abandoning his family
I am him, this is my blood
From dust of earth I am Adam's son

Kyrie eleison
Have mercy, Lord have mercy

Dust (7in7, day 2)

Baby you're still the one for me
Still the girl who stole my heart
We got us some history
And now we've got a family
But baby you're still the one for me

Maybe I haven't said enough
With words too few and far between
Baby I know what it means to love
Because you loved me
And baby you're still the one for me

Through years, through changes in the wind
You are the only one I see

Baby let's get out of here
Let's hit the road and head somewhere
I don't care which way we drive
So long as I am by your side
Baby you're still the one for me

One For Me (7in7, day 3)

Confession (7in7, day 4)

For my son, Gideon Watts.

Gideon, oh Gideon
Man of strength, man of fear
Close your eyes, do you see the burning angel?
Do you realize what brought you here?

Gideon, oh Gideon
Your heart seized up when you first took the call
Like a desperate man begging for another way,
For the backup plan, but you're up against a wall

Gideon, oh Gideon
One more sign won't be what you need
Close your eyes, do you see the burning angels
Do you recognize what you see?

Gideon, oh Gideon
Your papa's always been a doubter too
Gideon, every now and then
I see my face when I look at you

There is grace for a thousand questions
