Sixpence is back ..
with some refreshing honesty (CCM makes you lie) ..
..and a refreshing "pay what you want" download/prayer
called "Amazing Grace (Bring it Back)":
"You’re everywhere in every time /
and yet You’re so damn hard to find ":
I knew a song that played in me
It seems I've lost the melody
So please, Lord, give it back to me
Yeah please, Lord, give it back to me
Years in the desert with no drink
Strike the rock, make it bleed
And please Lord, give it back to me
Yeah please Lord, give it back to me
If you'll blow on the embers
The light will shine on my face
The streams will run in the desert
And sing amazing grace
You're everywhere in every time
And yet you're so damn hard to find
So please, Lord, I need a sign
No please Lord, I want a sign
I need Your breath on the embers
I need the light on my face
I need the streams in the desert
That sing amazing grace
That sing amazing grace
Amazing; psalmic.
Ready for church.
Later edit: No surprise when the album came out, this song had the "d" word removed:

There's a newer version of this song on Sixpence's new album, Lost in Transition. The musical arrangement on the album version is superior to the original from the My Dear Machine ep, though they dropped the words "so damn" from the lyrics and replaced them with the word "always." I prefer the original lyrics.
ReplyDeleteRegardless, this is one of my favorite Sixpence songs (along with "Melody of You" to which this is a sort of sequel). Definitely the album highlight.
