Lyrical Fridays: The Water (Meant for Me)

I was recently downloading songs to my phone via Amazon Prime music, and I decided to download an entire album by the band "I am They."  This band sings some of my favorite contemporary Christian songs to include "Make A Way," "Scars," "My Feet Are on The Rock," etc.  As I was listening to the album, a new favorite arose.  It is called "The Water (Meant for Me)."  Any song that has the phrase "this far" speaks so deeply to me.  It re-centers me and beckons me to remember that God is still holding onto us and that nothing we have gone through has surprised Him.  This is such a comfort to me.  Nine times out of ten, this remembrance will bring tears to my ears.




Lyrics:

This far, He has held us
Through the waters as they crash against
This far, He is with us, He is for us
Through the stormy depths
I will soar on wings like eagles
O God, You've carried me
This far, this far

There is power, victory
Hope for the broken-hearted
Healing meant for me
There is goodness, justice
Rest for the weak and weary
Love that's meant for me

This far, He has lead us
Through the darkness to the light of day
This far, He has shown us
Love and mercy and unfailing grace
When my hope is lost in the shadows
This promise, You have made
It's not far, not far

There is power, victory
Hope for the broken-hearted
Healing meant for me
There is goodness, justice
Rest for the weak and weary
Love that's meant for me

When the water, the water, the water is crashing over
He's gonna, He's gonna, He's gonna, He's gonna save us
The water, the water, the water is crashing over
He's gonna rescue us
When the water, the water, the water is crashing over
He's gonna, He's gonna, He's gonna, He's gonna save us
The water, the water, the water is crashing over
He's gonna rescue us
When the water, the water, the water is crashing over
He's gonna, He's gonna, He's gonna, He's gonna save us
The water, the water, the water is crashing over
He's gonna rescue us

There is power, victory
Hope for the broken-hearted
Healing meant for me
There is goodness, justice
Rest for the weak and weary
Love that's meant for me

When the water, the water, the water is crashing over
He's gonna, He's gonna, He's gonna, He's gonna save us
The water, the water, the water is crashing over
He's gonna rescue us

I hope this has spoken to you as it has to me. 




Until Next Time, 
Much love, Reba
