Another Song

I once read a book, and the author suggested picking a song to listen to before your quiet time with God. I don't really remember what she said, but music is definitely a romantic thing, and while I certainly don't want to make God fit my needs, He is a romantic God, and I believe he created me to desire that from Him. So anyways, I held onto that. Her example was of a friend who used All I Ask as her "song from God." It certainly works and is incredibly beautiful.

My song, is a song by Sister Hazel. Everytime I hear it, I feel like God is speaking to me. I think maybe the fact that its not a Christian song at all makes it more powerful to me. The fact that I hear it and immediately hear it as God speaking to me when it wasn't at all written with that intention. Its so obvious that no man can fulfill what this song says it can, it can only be God, but He most certainly can. Sorry, its kind of long.

Sword and Shield:

Just when the sky runs out of rain
Just when the sun runs out of light
Just when the earth is ill with pain
Just when your body is out of fight

I will be there
I will be the smallest piece in everything
And I would give my life before I break this promise to you

Melt in to me
Don't you want to be the ones that last forever
I'll be your everlasting
And enemies they take your will but they won't last forever
I'll be your sword and shield
and I'll be your sword
I'll be your shield

Just when the ocean starts to dry
Just when the air is sick with smoke
Just when the statues start to cry
And fallen angels they lay broken

I will be there
I will be the smallest piece in everything
And I would lose my life before I break this promise to you

Melt in to me
Don't you want to be the ones that last forever
I'll be your everlasting
And enemies they take your peace but they won't last forever

I'll be your sword and shield and
I'll be your sword
I'll be your shield

I'll be your gracious angel
I'll be your favorite stranger
I'll be the mortar holding your walls
I'll be your army
