Who Will Save Me by mc 7/19/07
I’ve been hopeless and alone I’ve been thoughtless and afraid
I’ve been running from my calling and the caller all the same
I’ve been putting down my money for a ticket out of here
I’ve been planning out my future but now nothing seems too clear
I go down to the bottom To the bottom of the sea
I go down where the ocean weighs so heavy over me
I can’t breath I can’t sleep I can hardly hear Your name
All this pain in my frame I can barely speak this prayer
Who will save me?
Who will save me?
Who will save me now?
As my life it ebbs away and my last prayer comes to You
In Your temple I’m reminded of your mercies ever new
With a voice of great thanksgiving and an offering of praise
All the pain it fades away and I’m crying out again - singing
You will save me!
You will save me!
You have saved me now!
Who will save me?
You will save me!
Who will save me?
You will save me now!
You brought my life up from the pit
Now I will tell the world of this
Of Your great love, Your mighty deeds
Forgiveness that the whole world needs
I once was lost but now I’m found
Thrown overboard and left for drowned
But You reached down and pulled me up
Your water overflows my cup

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha

This album is perfect-my new favorite shalom sesh! I could listen to this all day, with tea, The Word, near a body of water as the peace of God washes over me. HalleluYah! I really like the lo-fi sound it reminds me of classics(JDilla, even Air). I can certainly feel the inspiration from Japan in this. The more I listen to JO the more I feel his love for Yeshua and it fills me so much love too. Glory to Abba for this beautiful work of art! It is soul medicine:) Shalom shalom Yaaqova
