Faith to Carry Through

21 08 2008

I’ve been listening to Jaci Velasquez’s new album: Love Out Loud, and am absolutely loving it. Clearly the album carries with it the message of where she’s been and where she’s at right now. Through her music she shares her life’s journey.

Yet somehow the song “Nothing But Sky” seems to resonate deeply within my own heart. It seems to speak of where I’ve been and where I’m at now. Every word, every note struck a chord within my inner being. Such is the power of music. The power to influence and to affect. And I love it!

“I’m here
With all the scars and the tears
I’ve survived
It takes time
To find forgiveness
Get on with my life

(Chorus)
I’ve gone through the heartache
Learned from the pain
Walked through the broken, and all that remains
Is a heart that’s wide open
Ready and willing to fly
Now, there’s nothing but sky
Nothing but sky

It’s clear
That what doesn’t kill you
Makes you strong
I’m here
Right where I should be
In your tender arms

(Chorus)

Nothing but blue sky around me
Nothing but sky
Nothing but this moment now
Floating high above the clouds
It’s all I need, You here with me

(Chorus)

There’s no sign of rain
Ain’t no clouds in my way
Nothing but blue sky around me
Nothing but sky” … Jaci Velasquez: Love out Loud

Oh Lord, in your tender arms I find rest. In your tender arms is where I belong. In your tender arms there is faith to carry me through.
