First Saturday of Advent: "Listen to the Sound" by Building 429

New song for me.  Yay!  Really like the words:

The Video:


The Lyrics:

Are you in over your head?
Are you on water so deep your drowning?
Do you think you've been left
And there is no on to feel your hurting
Well everybody has been there
And everybody's felt lost
If you're in over your head lift it up, lift it up... oh!

[Chorus]
Listen to the sound of hope
That's rising up over your old horizon
Listen to the sound, listen to the sound...
And listen to the sound of a new beginning of
This is where the old is ending
Listen to the sound, listen to the sound...

I hear you say your alone
I hear you sayin' that you'll never make it
I've got to tell you, you're wrong
Cuz' I have been down this path you're takin'
You'll never know what faith is
Till' you don't understand
Sometimes it takes the silence
To finally hear his plans...oh!

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
I once was lost but now I'm found [2x]

Listen to the sound of hope
That's rising up over your old horizon
Listen to the sound, listen to the sound...
And listen to the sound of a new beginning of
This is where the old is ending
Listen to the sound, listen to the sound...oh!

His grace is reaching for us
His grace is reaching out
Listen to the sound, listen to the sound
Wherever you are... [2x]

Reflection:

How true is this?  Everyone has at some point felt lost.  I like a few lines in this song.  The first is

"You'll never know what faith is

Till' you don't understand
Sometimes it takes the silence
To finally hear his plans...oh!"

Wow!  I can personally say that is true.  I have been there, not understanding but still believing and then I understand that is what Faith is.  it is beleving when the world says to stop.  It is believing in Him and His grace even if we don't feel anything, when we are ready to give up on God.  I have wanted to give up so many times, but my Faith knowing that He is real kept me from running away.  I may have lost hope, but never my Faith.  I need to remember these two go hand in hand.

The second lines I like:

"And listen to the sound of a new beginning of

This is where the old is ending"

When we believe in Hope and Faith then we have a new beginning, when we hit rock bottom then that is when God can begin to work.  I have felt this so many times in my life.  If you are at rock bottom (or what you think is rock bottom)  please turn back to God and not run away from Him.
