(V1)
Wrapped up in the world around me,
Confusing, complicated, I just want out,
I’m limited by what I see,
And the world is staring back at me,
But Jesus, I just want to be free.
One taste is all it takes to know,
That none of this compares to You,
Earth and heaven fade away,
And my own heart will one day fail,
But You are my resting place.
(Chorus)
Jesus, I want You more,
More than anything I can see
Or can think to imagine,
I throw it away, meaningless now,
I’ve seen my Savior, You’re all that I need,
God, it’s Your love I’m drowning in,
Jesus, I want You more.
(V2)
Here I am, back in this place,
Through doubts and fears I struggle on,
But even in this darkest hour,
I can feel Your great power,
Jesus You are my strong tower.
Through every storm and trying day,
You sustain me with Your grace,
You died to make me new,
Now help me pursue what is true,
Please give me strength to follow you.
(Bridge)
The world calls out to me each day,
Jesus, I want You more,
Life tries to draw me away,
Jesus, I want you more,
My own heart rebels in me,
Jesus I want You more
Do what it takes to help me see,
Jesus, I want You more.

So... I'm going through a weird song-writing phase, so if you read a random song here, and I don't say who wrote it or sings it, it's probably mine. And... I don't write music, so yeah... it's just music-less lyrics.
I also seem to be going through a phase where I post on my personal blog way more often than I used to... but that isn't a bad thing, I don't think. I guess there's just lots going on in my head, and it all comes out somewhere...
oh yeah. good post. i appreciate creative writing in the form of poems/songs/etc. :) thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeletelove this, Rachel. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Rachel! I recommend the key of F for this one ;)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks.
ReplyDeleteF? Really? I thought you didn't like F. I was thinking... G. Or maybe D, but probably G. ;)
No, I adore the key of F! The only key I have a real aversion to is D. I don't know why . . . I love the key of Ab and B, but for some reason, D has always bugged me
ReplyDeleteAh! D is my favorite key! I don't see how it could bug anybody. It's so nice, you know.
