So I realize that when I get sick or am about to travel my music library expands! But I still have these iTunes gift cards (yes they didn’t burn a whole in my pocket since Christmas! Hard to believe for those who know me well, huh?) and I love them. I really love them! Did I say I love iTunes gift cards? Ok, I know I’m fishing… Sorry. I hope you are still reading because I have a musical treat for you! His name is Josh Garrels and you can download his first alblum free, I’m serious czech it out, click here. I’ve enjoyed his music for about 6 months now, and it was a blessing to stumble across it. I love storytellers and acoustic guitars! His lyrics are real and hit home with a lot of the things that I’ve and am kicking around my head. I looked for lyrics from his newest album, Over Oceans, but I had no luck so here are some lyrics from one the songs you can download for free. I hope you enjoy it! Have a blessed night!
mercy triumph
you ever walk a mile with the men
we got these sticks in our hands and moving over broken land across the deserts and the sand, wasteland
I understand the command and the difference
of the body, mind, flesh, soul, spirit
now tell me if you hear it?
and you can tell me if you fear it
please brother move near it
don’t let your dark conscious clear it
please brother move near it
don’t let your dark conscious clear it
I’m talkin’ bout the whispers of the Holy Spirit
I woke up I’ve had enough
of all the fists and the cuffs and the prostitutes bluffs, and addictions they never get enough and now the snake’s in the rough and the heels’ on his head
please Lord just crush it
and take the venom out my veins
please Lord just crush it
and take the venom out my veins
mental attack, flash back, half-forgotten event,
fade to black, warped and bent, represents
the arrangement of connections in my mind
the mind over man soulfully seeking signs
elevated over rhyme and outside space and time
and if your third eye’s blind then you might just miss it
like the ship in the dark looking for the house of light
and like a man with his hands
asking heaven for a fight and now the pen’s on the paper but we don’t know how to write
have mercy on me
cause I believe You’re the One, the Son, who’s come to set us all free
have mercy on me
Lord I’ve still got questions
can anything be everything if everything is hollow? or does living has a reason that’s put off until tomorrow?
and now I’m riding round the bends to the bones of the morrow finding sorrow with the joy like the boy who’s been beat slashed torn and warned not to tell the truth and now my soul’s informed and I’m putting it to use, let’s defuse, I wanna defuse the humanistic time bomb compromising truth
buried alive in their scientific proofs
uncouth evolving sayers of sooth have lost their curriculum agenda and proof
for the Love that’s livin’ in me
and for the dreams that nobody sees
and for the broken soul on bended knee
and the God that’s gonna answer him powerfully
you see, you and me, we don’t amount to much
self-centered intellect’s not a power but a crutch,
losin’ touch with God’s reality, takin’ comfort in philosophies, thinkin’ it’s a speciality, sometimes fatality
who’s next on the docket?
have mercy on me
cause I believe He’s the One, the Son, who’s come to set us all free
