thankful thursday #142

A friend shared with me the new Shane & Shane album a few weeks ago, Bring Your Nothing. Oh my, it is a winner.

They have wicked harmonies, but the lyrics on this one wear me out. Like make me want to weep. In a good way.

I'm so thankful that music has the power to express our hearts to the Lord, when our words sometimes just can't.

You Loved My Heart to Death
Shane & Shane, Bring Your Nothing

It's taken me some time to believe
That when you say it's done
That's what you mean
That when they drove the nails through your hands
You did not recant
You didn't take it back

I drank the cup of death
It's running through my veins
I chose my pride instead
Of the glory of Your name
All the wrath of God that I
Deserve with every breath
Fell upon Him
And He loved my heart to death

It's taken me some time to believe
There'll never come a day
That You'll ever leave
That when I drive the nails through your hands
You do not recant
You never take it back

I drank the cup of death
It's running through my veins
I chose my pride instead
Of the glory of Your name
Oh, the wrath of God that I
Deserve with every breath
Fell upon Him
And He loved my heart to death

You put it in the grave
Brought it back to life
Put it in the grave
Brought it back to life
Put it in the grave
Brought it back to life

I drank the cup of death
It's running through my veins
I chose my pride instead
Of the glory of Your name
Oh, the wrath of God that I
Deserve with every breath
Fell upon Him
And He loved my heart to death
