Anyone who knows me, knows that music is a huge part of my life. It speaks to me in huge ways and in ways that nothing else can. And it's usually music that speaks to me the most about God's love for me. Lately though, I haven't been inspired by many of the new songs on the radio... until I heard Brandon Heath's new song "The Light In Me". I think it was the melody that first stirred something in my heart, but once I really listened to the words, I found God speaking to me and it is just I needed to turn that flame back up in my heart. Lately my faith has been feeling just lukewarm.... and, slowly but surely, it's catching on fire again.
Side note: I saw Brandon Heath in concert in May... and let me tell you, he sounds just as good in concert as he does on his albums and in his videos! It was a huge blessing to hear him, along with Natalie Grant and Mercy Me, in concert. I'd definitely go see him again.
My life before You
I was a flame burning down
I was burning out
But You knew me better
For You there was never a doubt
God, since You gave me life
Something was different, I knew it the instant
You put the light in me
The spark, the shot to the heart
You are the hope that leads me out of the dark
You let Your love shine down
So that the world could see
You put the light in me
The light, You put the light in me
The light, You put the light in me
The light, You put the light in me
The light, You put the light in me
You are the Maker, you tell the sun when yo rise
I'm just a house on a hill
But You make me brighter than all the stars in the sky
Keep me from growing down
'Cause in Your perfection, I'm just a reflection
So pull me closer to You
I catch like a fire and I'll hold You higher
'Cause You put the light in me
The spark, the shot to the heart
You are the hope that leads me out of the dark
You let Your love shine down
So that the world could see
You put the light in me
The light, You put the light in me
The light, You put the light in me
The light, You put the light in me
The light, You put the light in me
I'll raise it high, I'll let it show
From the rooftops down to the streets below
In day and night, You will be known
And all will see
You put the light in me
'Cause You put the light in me
The spark, the shot to the heart
You are the hope that leads me out of the dark
You let Your love shine down
So that the world could see
You put the light in me
The light, You put the light in me
The light, You put the light in me
The light, You put the light in me
The light, You put the light in me
