Lyrics
VERSE 1
I have nothing, I feel lonely, I am broken, Deep inside
Love has left me, I feel empty, I am searching, But what is love?


CHORUS
You take it away oh Lord
If it moves my focus from You
You asked me to stay oh Lord
But I turned my back on You
You take it away Lord
You take it away Lord
To bring me closer, to You


VERSE 2
I am plagued by, Things unspoken, Evil doers, Not justified
I am tired, I feel helpless, Revenge a fountain, In my mind

VERSE 3
I feel punished, My spirit bitter, Senseless and stupid, I won’t deny
My world has nothing, Who can I turn to? Nothing concrete, Will satisfy

BRIDGE
Noting to see but Your face and Your mercy
Nothing to see but Your love
You are the strength of my heart when it fails me
My refuge in the dark

VERSE 4
But now I’m thankful, I feel special, I am open, To Your will
I know I’m welcome, In Your arms Lord, Your guiding counsel, Sets me, FREE!

voice of an angel
Very beautiful and emotional song. Nice relaxed ballad. Really nice
vocal phrasing.
What kind of mic are you using? Your vocal seems to be peaking out in
spots. You can put the input volume lower. You have a very dynamic
voice, which makes vocal recording more of a challange.
Heart-felt lyrics. Your word cadence is very good. Perhaps putting the
keyboard to one side (10 o'clock) and the vocal at 2 o'cllock would
provide more stereo separation.
beautiful..bravo

Thanks for the great feedback!
Yeh, thanks for the tips on the mic levels - I was
thinking about that. Our original setup for voice recording
was much better - but at the moment all we have is the
in-built computer mic, but we should be getting something better
soon.
Thanks again!

Oh, yes!
You say it perfectly- all believers find themselves in this place. We
want, we get mad when we don't get, then, like king David, we
acknowledge that God actually does know what He's doing. We once
again feel relief and express gratitude when He takes away what is
separating us from Him. Very well done!

get this in a film already
The lofi vocal sound (allthough the voice is good) actually makes this
sound as a song from a movie! Very strong film vibes from this.
