No rhyme or reason to these lyrics other than they have been running through my head.
First off I was asked a pretty serious question by a good friend. And these lyrics came to my head.
Hold Me Now - Jennifer Knapp
From glass alabaster she poured out the depth of her soul
O foot of Christ would you wait if her harlotries known?
Falls a tear to darken the dirt
Of humblest offerings to forgive the hurt
She is strong enough to stand in your love
I can hear her say....
I'm weak
I'm poor
I'm broken, Lord
But I'm your's
Hold me now, hold me now
Let he without sin cast the first stone if you will
To say that my bride isn't worth half the blood that I've spilled
Point your fingers and laugh if you choose
To say my beloved is borrowed and used
She is strong enough to stand in My love
I can hear her say....
I'm weak
I'm poor
I'm broken, Lord
But I'm your's
Hold me now, hold me now
Second a song for all those I love that have gone before me.
You're Gone, I'm Here - Precious Death
You're cold and I'm here talking to myself,
'Bout you and everybody else.
My words are hard to swallow,
But here's a few that you can take with you
It's killing me..but one day you'll be seeing me. Yeah!
You're gone and I'm here
and I think about the things I never told you.
While you were on planet, right beside me.
You're gone and I'm here now
I guess I waited, one too long, for tomorrow.
I haven't slept for two days,
And I don't think I'll sleep tomorrow
You're gone and I'm here
Could be twenty years before I follow you to glory
Where one day you'll be seeing me. Yeah!
You're gone and I'm here
and I think about the things I never told you.
While you were on planet, right beside me.
You're gone and I'm here now
I guess I waited, one too long, for tomorrow.
Last Song is mainly a commentary on where we are at as a society.
Lost the Plot - Newsboys
When you come back again
would you bring me something from the fridge?
Heard a rumour that the end is near
but I just got comfortable here.
sigh.
Let's be blunt.
I'm a little distracted.
What do you want?
Headaches and bad faith
are all that I've got.
First I misplaced the ending
then I lost the plot.
Out among the free-range sheep
while the big birds sharpen their claws.
For a time we stuck with the shepherd
but you wouldn't play Santa Claus.
sigh.
Let's be blunt.
We're a little distracted.
What do you want?
Once we could follow,
now we cannot.
You would not fit our image,
so we lost the plot.
Once we could hear you,
now our senses are shot.
We've forgotten our first love.
We have lost the plot.
When I saw you for the first time
you were hanging with a thief
And I knew my hands were dirty,
and I dropped my gaze.
Then you said I was forgiven
and you welcomed me with laughter.
I was happy ever after.
I was counting the days
when you'd come back again.
we'll be waiting for you
When you comin' back again?
we'll be ready for you
Maybe we'll wake up when...
maybe we'll wake up when
you come back again.
lies.
Let's be blunt.
We're a little unfaithful.
What do you want?
Are you still listening?
`Cause we're obviously not
We've forgotten our first love
We have lost the plot.
And why are you still calling?
You forgave, we forgot.
We're such experts at stalling
that we've lost the plot.
lost the plot
When you come back again
would you bring me something from the fridge?
Heard a rumour that the end is near
but I just got comfortable here.
