Week three of sharing song lyrics with you before they have been recorded for you to listen to.
I’ve long been a fan of movie songs. The ones not instantly recognisable as a mega hit but ones I’ll never forget along with the movie they were in. “Coming Home” sung by Gwyneth Paltrow in the movie “Country Strong” is one of those songs. It came to mind when reading through the song I’ve chosen to share with you this week. What do you think of when you think of home?
Illusions of nirvana
(Verse 1)
I remember chasing the feeling of home,
Longing for safety and love to call my own.
I thought wealth and stability would fill the void,
That finding my family would finally bring joy.
But the golden carrot kept slipping away,
Illusions of nirvana leading me astray.(Chorus)
But then I found solace in God’s tender embrace,
In His empty holes, I discovered my place.
Within His wounded hands, I found what I sought,
The fulfilment I yearned for, the love I thought I’d lost.(Verse 2)
I was angry at God, questioning His existence,
Blaming Him for my pain and relentless persistence.
But in those empty holes, I found the truth,
That His love was the answer to my endless pursuit.
Everything I searched for was right there all along,
In the scars on His hands was the home where I belonged.(Bridge)
No longer chasing mirages, I’m finally free,
Embracing the love that was always meant to be.
No more seeking approval from worldly desires,
For in God’s embrace, my heart truly aspires.(Chorus)
But then I found solace in God’s tender embrace,
In His empty holes, I discovered my place.
Within His wounded hands, I found what I sought,
The fulfilment I yearned for, the love I thought I’d lost.(Outro)
So let me share this truth with those who are lost,
In the pursuit of happiness, at any cost.
The love you seek is found in the Divine,
In the embrace of God, true peace you’ll find.
No longer chasing empty dreams, no more to roam,
In God’s arms, you’ll find the feeling of home.
Did you celebrate Christmas in July last week?
Imagine
(Verse 1)
Imagine waking up to a brand new day,
With love refreshing our souls, lighting the way,
Blessing others, spreading cheer and delight,
Guiding lost hearts back into the light.(Pre-Chorus)
So let’s hold hands and spread love’s gentle glow,
Embracing kindness wherever we may go,
With every act of compassion and grace,
We’ll create a better world, for our human race.(Chorus)
Hearts wide open, filled with truth’s bliss,
A world united, where love’s never amiss,
We’ll share our gifts, like shining stars above,
In this Christmas world of endless love.(Verse 2)
Imagine the warmth within our embrace,
A cup overflowing with love, a sweet taste,
Tenderness like marshmallows in the flame,
Melting away differences, no one in pain.(Pre-Chorus)
Shining bright, like twinkling lights so clear,
Compassion weaving through each day and year,
With open hearts, we’ll heal the darkest night,
Igniting hope, setting the world alight.(Chorus)
Hearts wide open, filled with truth’s bliss,
A world united, where love’s never amiss,
We’ll share our gifts, like shining stars above,
In this Christmas world of endless love.(Bridge)
No need for presents beneath the tree,
When love’s the greatest gift we can guarantee,
Together we’ll create a tapestry so grand,
Spreading kindness across every land.(Chorus)
Hearts wide open, filled with truth’s bliss,
A world united, where love’s never amiss,
We’ll share our gifts, like shining stars above,
In this Christmas world of endless love.(Outro)
In this Christmas world, let us always believe,
That love can conquer all, and hearts can achieve,
May the truth of Christmas guide us through,
To a world of love, where dreams come true.
