My Life in Song Lyrics - BEDA #10

I have always loved relating song lyrics to life. And since I know that it would be obnoxious to post lyrics that apply to my life on Facebook every hour (trust me, I could), I am compiling a list on here to give a weaving of my life lately.


You give me hope, and hope it gives me life. You touch my heavy heart, and when You do You make it light. As I exhale I hear Your voice and I answer You, though I hardly make a noise. And from my lips the words I choose to say seem pathetic, but it's a fallen man's praise. Because I love You.
{relient k, when i go down}

You make beautiful things, You make beautiful things out of dust. You make me new, You are making me new.
{gungor, beautiful things}

I swear I'm trying to give everything but I feel like I'm falling, oh make me believe what I need is resurrection, what I need is for You to put back on my feet.
{david crowder band, let me feel you shine}

Well I tried to be apart from You, away from You my first love. And I lost my way without You close, without You near to me. All the universe without Your name is so alone, my God. And so I run into Your arms, for You are love.
{paul colman trio, into your arms}


The lyrics to this song and the skit. (this is the skit I told y'all about back in January that I did with my youth group about a month ago)

The tricky thing is yesterday we were just children, playing soldiers just pretending, dreaming dreams with happy endings. In back yards winning battles with our wooden swords, but now we've stepped into a cruel world where everyone stands and keeps score. Keep your eyes open.
{taylor swift, eyes open}

You can hear voices loud and sing out a song that nobody knows, but to her it sounds like home. But the nights can't hide the days that the tears roll down her face and the light hits those eyes, as she's dying to say just take me away.
{parachute, all that i am}

I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say, I come home in the morning, I go to bed feeling the same way. I ain't nothing but tired, man, I'm just tired and bored with myself. Hey there baby, I could use just a little help.
{bruce springsteen, dancing in the dark}

They are turning my head out to see what I'm all about, keeping my head down to see what it feels like now. But I have no doubt one day we are gonna get out.
{coldplay, lovers in japan}

What you don't have you don't need it now, what you don't know you can feel it somehow, what you don't have you don't need it now, don't need it now, it was a beautiful day.
{u2, beautiful day}

Forged in the fires of human passion, choking on the fumes of selfish rage, and with these our hells and our heavens so few inches apart, we must be awfully small and not as strong as we think we are.
{rich mullins, we are not as strong as we think we are}

Even when it's dark before the dawn I will feel your grace and carry on, and with every breath of me, you'll be the only light I see.
{boyce avenue, every breath}

I remember when we used to laugh about nothing at all, it was better than going mad from trying to solve all the problems we're going through, forget them all, cause on those nights we would stand and never fall, together we faced it all.
{skillet, those nights}

Lay down your armor, put down your sword, there's no one here to protect yourself from anymore. Scale back your defenses, set down your shield, I'm not here to harm you, I'm here to heal. Why are you so stubborn? Why are you so closed? I'm so afraid you'll stay this way and quarantine your soul. Oh please stay open, oh please believe, there's nothing wrong with you that's not wrong with me.
{josh bales, quarantine}

The night was young and so were we, talked about life, God, death, and your family, didn't want any promises, just my undivided honesty, and you said oh oh, things are gonna change now for the better, and oh oh, things are gonna change.
It's not that I hang on every word, I hang myself on what you repeat. It's not that I keep hanging on, I'm never letting go.
{anberlin, dismantle.repair.}

I don't quite know how to say how I feel, those three words are said too much, they're not enough. If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told, before we get too old, show me a garden that's bursting into life. Let's waste time chasing cars around our heads. I need your grace to remind me to find my own.
{snow patrol, chasing cars}

And I can't always be part of you and you can't always be there for me and I can't always be where you are. But if you could look past everything and realize that you are the one for me and nothing can break us down then you would rescue me for me.
{the incredible sandwich, where you are}

 I wanna break every clock, the hands of time could never move again. We could stay in this moment for the rest of our lives.
{anberlin, inevitable}
