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(Copyright 2010)
You're back! I like the song :) And I'm glad that it was very personal to you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful song, Olivia! You are so very talented with words. :) I think it's absolutely wonderful to see talents used for the glory of Christ. You have such a moldable heart, and I can constantly see Jesus in you. :)
ReplyDeleteLove you girly! (looking forward to that email!) :)))

ReplyDeleteHave a great Easter, my friend!
This song flows sooo beautifully. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope that if you create a melody to go with it that you'll share it.

Awesome lyrics. In general, my friends are surprised when I tell them that I like both some classical and some hard rock songs. The truth is, the melody of the song is just the outer shell of it; what really makes the songs is the lyrics IN the song. In your case, these are awesome lyrics. =)

Psalm 33:3
Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
