Sunday, 12 June 2011

Another ordinary Sunday, or maybe not that ordinary at all, because Sundays are never just ordinary. Time to calm down, to escape the madness of college, and to be myself. Because God knows me so well that there's no point in pretending to be someone else. I love Him, and I need Him, more than anything or anyone else.


some time ago, the shadow of despair fell over me
the world I knew turned dark and cold
You took me in, and the warmth of Your love surrounded me
and since that time I've never been the same

'cause without You my life would be a song without a melody
without You my life would be a poem without words
can't You see that my existence entirely depends on You
yes, it's true, 'cause I got you

because of You my days are brighter than they were before
I see the sunshine even in the rain
You are the One, I have given You my life and You know
that it's the best thing that I have ever done

'cause without You my life would be a song without a melody
without You my life would be a poem without words
can't You see that my existence entirely depends on You
yes, it's true, 'cause I got you

(Deliverance / Paul Janz)

That
"can't You see" part clearly is a rhetorical question, because He does, of course, see all this. :)

Sadly, I can't find a recording of this song on the web, so an instrumental version will have to do. I love this song, and first got to know its German version (Vergiss es nie / Du bist du) which is quite different in regard to the lyrics. It focuses more on what it means to be alive, and that every single person on this planet is loved by God the way they are, which is a really beautiful and true thought!
