Song of the Week (or Two)

"C. S. Lewis Song"
Brooke Fraser

Okay. So anyone who knows me knows that anything "C.S. Lewis-y" is a thing that I love. And this girl's voice is brilliant! I want her CDs. I know I say that a lot, about a lot of artists, but seriously. Add this one to the Christmas list. :D :D 



If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy,
I can only conclude that I was not made for here
If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary,
then of course I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm compared

[CHORUS]
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
I will sigh and with all creation groan as I wait for hope to come for me

Am I lost or just less found? On the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way?
Is this a soul that stirs in me, is it breaking free, wanting to come alive?
'Cause my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
And avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
For we, we are not long here
Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it
And I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know you
Hope is coming for me
Hope, He's coming


By the way, the idea that links C. S. Lewis to this song is from the first verse, and this statement was taken from "Mere Christianity". Go read it!

  2. Very awesome. I love the part about I will sigh and groan with all creation as I wait for Him to come for me. And the reminder that this life is but a breath. Needed the reminding.

  3. Yeah Adeena, what I found particularly awesome was the fact that she's a Kiwi! New Zealand singers woot! :D

    I love songs that are good reminders. :) I'm definitely going to listen to this one more den once. A day.
