nazareth

(via boy 4.27.25) – Nazareth by jon guerra – [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpLBVZwHT3A]:

Deep in the heart of Nazareth
A nowhere town of lowliness
The light of life, the light of them
Deep in the heart of Nazareth

I never would have chosen this
The hand of God is hiddenness
Your mother held and witnessed it

The light still bends when we say yes
The light still bends, the light still bends
Light my heart so I won’t say less
Light my heart, light my heart

I’ve tried to pray, but it’s been hard
Found some words, but I lost my heart
Can you hear me from where you are?
Or is Nazareth just way too far?

Why don’t the bombs obey you like the storms of Galilee do?

The light still bends when we say yes
The light still bends, the light still bends
Light my heart so I won’t say less
Light my heart, light my heart

Quiet my heart with the rhythms of your breath
Quiet my restlessness
The light still bends when we say yes
Light my heart, light my heart

I cannot face the mystery
I cannot change the history
But I name the love behind everything
When I praise the One from Nazareth

My God, my heart is Nazareth
Come seek me in the lies I’ve lived
Be true, be kind, be still, be with me
In the heart of Nazareth
Deep in the heart of Nazareth
Deep in the heart of Nazareth

(via boy 4.27.25) Jon Guerra – I See the Birds [Official Video] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sbnkrCnU8I]:

I See the Birds by Jon Guerra – Official Video “Do not be anxious about your life”

I heard you say to me You dress the lilies You leave the weeds The sower of the seed Am I in charge of my own mind Or is it in charge of me?

I see the birds up in the air I know you feed them I know you care So won’t you teach me How I mean more to you than them In times of trouble Be my help again

You’ve held me sturdy You’ve led me on Through years of joy and grief So don’t you leave me All on my own You know me, Lord I’m weak

I see the birds up in the air I know you feed them I know you care So won’t you teach me How I mean more to you than them In times of trouble Be my help again

Don’t you worry, child Don’t you worry, child He won’t leave you by yourself In times of trouble, he’s your help I’m letting go of my own life I’m letting go again

I see the birds up in the air I know you feed them I know you care So won’t you teach me How I mean more to you than them In times of trouble Be my help again Be ever present Lord, won’t you be my closest friend In times of trouble Be my help again
