Recently I have had certain phrases of songs come to mind when I'm praying, or just generally thinking. I can hear the melody in my mind, and I sense myself begin to hum along to what is silent to everyone else around me. Some of the things I've been hearing and singing along to in my head are:
"I lean into the whisper, but I don't hear a thing... please don't leave me here..."
-dave barnes, when a heart breaks
"If You say go, we will go
If You say wait, we will wait
If You say step out on the water
And they say it can't be done
We'll fix our eyes on You and we will come "
-vineyard worship, if you say go
"Oh my dear, what a race we've run...How do I leave the green fields here? Oh my friends, what a long trip its been."
-emerson hart, green hills of california
"So I walk upon high and I step to the edge and see my world below. And I laugh at myself as the years roll down, 'cause its the world I know."
-collective soul, world i know
"How long? How long to wait when my hearts ready to break? Would you be my lover if I had no love and no beauty to speak of? Would you still be faithful if I had no faith and I questioned everything? Amen."
-justin mcroberts, what love is this
"So be our eyes, Be our hands, Lifted to You, To You alone...
More breath-taking than a gaze at perfect scenery. Your silence hushes thundering storms. All this might and glory yet you still choose to dwell In me... "
-koo chung, you alone
"Accepting all I've done and said
I want to stand and stare again
'Til there's nothing left out,
It remains there in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
I will hear your silent call
And I will touch this tender wall
'Til I know I'm home again, in your eyes..."
-peter gabriel, in your eyes
"And nobody told you there'd be days of silence, that no one heard."
-darren hayes, who would've thought?
