Pile of Coals

 No, I did not disappear from the world, though I did disappear from the blogosphere for the last several weeks.  I have not been idle though, oh my goodness I have been busy! I'll give you all a March recap after I get back from spending Easter in ND with the fam, but since my poor blog has been neglected, I felt that I should post a song that I wrote several weeks ago. 


 This song is basically my winter and what God has taught me during the last several months. It's a very personal one and I decided to post it after reading my friend Abigail's blog post where she echoes much of the same stuff that I've been going through. I hope you enjoy!


(V1)

Slowly it settled in

Like a fog over my heart

Carefully it seeped into my life unaware

I didn’t know – I didn’t expect

Yet here I am

(Pre Chorus)

I didn’t know I

Could feel this cold

The fire inside of me has grown old

Now what’s left is simply a pile of coals

(Chorus)

Passion – once upon a time

Had overtaken me

Now I’m left miles from where I want to be

Lord speak into my life

And revive this pile of coals

(V2)

Lord I need the passion

Infused into my veins

Complacency – has overtaken me

Save me from my apathy

(Bridge like thing)

Now I’m right back to the beginning

Under the shadow of Your cross

Only here will I feel that fire

Only here can I be revived

This small pile of coals
