The Call of the Broken

Posted by Please Don't Call Me Tom! in Uncategorized at 10:46 am | Permanent Link

I heard this song the other day and it made me stop in my tracks. Sometimes we don’t stop to listen long enough to hear what the world may be saying to us. This is a song by a band called Sleeping At Last. The lyrics are powerful and can give us some insight into what a relationship with someone who doesn’t know christ could do for a lost person. I don’t think that is what he is talking about in this song but this could be the testimony of one of our new friends if we would take chances and reach out to the world around us.

currents

In this sea of change, understanding is our shore
I disappear....with no control
The current is strong, my arms are weak
But you are the branch within my reach
Though I cannot catch my breath....

Pull me back to shore
I'll never reach my place
Pull me back to shore
I'll never reach my place, I'll never reach my place

The current is strong, my arms are weak
But you are the branch within my reach
In this sea of change, understanding was swept away

Pull me back to shore
I'll never reach my place, I'll never reach my place
Pull me back to shore
I'll never reach my place, I'll never reach my place

With everything I have, I reach out my hands
There's nothing to give
I seem to have no direction, I have no control
No way to know where currents pull
All the weight of my intentions
Are making it so hard to breathe the air at all
I see in you, coastlines reaching out
When there's nothing left to reach....

Pull me back to shore
I'll never reach my place, I'll never reach my place
Pull me back to shore
I'll never reach my place, I'll never reach my place

    Thomas, I’m an avid ocean fan and being in California makes it nice for me, I’ve been to South Beach too and know how beautiful it is. This songs is great and really calls out much of what draws me to the ocean and God (if He and His love are the proverbial ocean). Thanks for sharing.

    Love the blog name too, btw.
