won't you say
Nothing really all that deep to say today. I ran across an old(ish) Jennifer Knapp CD this morning, and I was struck by the simple truth of one of the songs. It's nothing really that profound or complex, but it seems to apply to me right now.Oh say won't You say
Say that You love me
with love ever, love, love everlasting
All my devotion put into motion by You
Every morning I have the chance to rise
and give my all
Every afternoon I find
I have only wasted time
in light of Your awe
Isn't love amazing
I forgot how to speak
Knowing You are near and
I am finally free
Oh say won't You say
Say that You love me
with love ever, love, love everlasting
All my devotion put into motion by You
My eyes fear to close
This reckless letting go is hard to bear
On the edge of all I need
Still I cling to what I see
And what have I there?
Bred my own disaster
Who have I to blame?
All I need is waiting
to be fanned to flame
Oh say won't You say
Say that You love me
with love ever, love, love everlasting
All my devotion put into motion by You
I open up my eyes to see You standing there
Oh, I can barely breathe
I can hardly bear all the love that I feel for You inside
I hope You feel it now
some, somehow
oh say won't You say
Say that You love me
With love ever, love, love everlasting
All my devotion put into motion by You
by You, yeah

i like that one. i saw her in concert once. yeah, she's all of five feet nothin'. teeny tiny. big voice though. good guitar player. she played a concert at my college; a double-bill with Third Day, so they did Agnus Dei, which was amazing.
good times.
but yeah, i like that song.
Yeah, she's very cool.
She played at my college too. I actually got to sit down and do an interview with her for the college paper. That was before anyone really knew who she was though, so I can really say "I knew her when" ... er, but I guess I don't really know her. You get the idea though.
