There’s a song that’s haunted my waking moments on more than one occasion. The ethereal female voice and simple low piano chords enchant me. But when I hear the song on the radio, road noise and the noise in my mind prevent me from hearing more than the essence of the song. While the essence has moved me many times, listening to the song today with the lyrics in front of me encourages and lifts me.

I encourage you to download the song here. Lyrics alone can never communicate the entire majesty of a song.

Her video is amazing. (See window at bottom of blog post)

Shadowfeet

Walking, stumbling
On these shadowfeet
Toward home, a land that I’ve never seen

I am changing
Less and less asleep
Made of different stuff than when I began

And I have sensed it all along
Fast approaching is the day

[Chorus]
When the world has fallen out from under me
I’ll be found in you, still standin’
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
When time and space are through
I’ll be found in you

There’s distraction
Buzzing in my head
Saying in the shadows it’s easier to stay

But I’ve heard rumours
Of true reality
Whispers of a well-lit way

When the world has fallen out from under me
I’ll be found in you, still standin’
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
When time and space are through
I’ll be found in you

You make all things new
You make all things new
You make all things new
You make all things
You make all things

When the world has fallen out from under me
I’ll be found in you, still standin’
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
When time and space are through
I’ll be found in you

When the world has fallen out from under me
I’ll be found in you, still standin’
Every fear and accusation under my feet
When time and space are through
I’ll be found in you
When time and space are through
I’ll be found in you
When time and space are through
I’ll be found in you
