6/27 Sunday Service Lyrics

For those of you who would like a closer look at some of the lyrics coming up on Sunday, here ya go!

"Wish" By Lifehouse

so you found
a better hiding place than on the ground
inside the image
of who they think you are
I wish the best of everything for you
I hope you know that honestly I do
how long can you run
turn your back on everyone
just let me know
when you're tired of being alone
so you wait
all through the night and day to day
wait for the illusion of the perfect song
I wish the best of everything for you
hope you know that I honestly I do
how long can you run
turn your back on everyone
just let me know
when you're tired of being alone

"The Gift" By Seether

Hold me now I need to feel relief
Like I never wanted anything
I suppose I'll let this go and find a reason I'll hold onto
I'm so ashamed of defeat
And I'm out of reason to believe in me
I'm out of trying to get by

I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
right on the wrong side of it all

I can't face myself when I wake up
And look inside a mirror
I'm so ashamed of that thing
I suppose I'll let it go
till I have something more to say for me
I'm so afraid of defeat
And I'm out of reason to believe in me
I'm out of trying to defy

I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
right on the wrong side of it all

Hold me now I need to feel complete
Like I matter to the one I need

I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
right on the wrong side of it all

Now I'm ashamed of this
I am so ashamed of this
Now I'm so ashamed of me
I am so ashamed of me

"Alive Again" By Matt Maher

I woke up in darkness
Surrounded by silence
Oh where, where have I gone?
I woke to reality losing its grip on me
Oh where, where have I gone?

'Cause I can see the light
Before I see the sunrise

You called and You shouted
Broke through my deafness
Now I'm breathing in and breathing out
I'm alive again
You shattered my darkness
Washed away my blindness
Now I'm breathing in and breathing out
I'm alive again

Late have I loved You
You waited for me, I searched for You
What took me so long?
I was looking outside
As if Love would ever want to hide
I'm finding I was wrong

'Cause I feel the wind
Before it hits my skin

'Cause I want You,
Yes I want You
I need You, and I'll do
Whatever I have to just to get through
'Cause I love You,
Yeah I love You

It's baaaaack....

So, I haven't kept up this music team blog since, well Christmas '09....

Hmmmm. Maybe some of my music team friends will help me keep this updated!

Basically I want to use this to communicate what's going on in SC Music. I would also love for it to be a forum to collect ideas--songs you'd love to hear, cool performances you experienced, albums to check out etc....

You can also follow MusicAtTheCreek on twitter and @ your suggestions there!

We are using Granger's phenomenal December series: "Let it Be Christmas" this year. I am PUMPED about the music. Christmas music is always fun, but add in tons of great Beatles hits to that and an eager and talented team of volunteers, and watch out--it's going to be cool.
