I know this is an odd quote to talk about, but every time I hear it come on my Ipod it sorta captures me.. Maybe because to me it’s extremely vivid, I can literally picture what this would be like AND feel like. I dunno, but… whatever it is, it captures me, maybe it’s the sound of the music behind the lyrics, maybe it’s the sound of Brook Fraser’s voice… maybe it’s that I feel like I’ve been here and experienced this verse in the song. Whatever it is this verse captures me every time. Sometimes I feel like all I need is God to speak to me, and often it’s on my way to work.. which is close to dawn… and I can’t count the number of times I go to sleep begging God for something… and in the morning my outlook is just different… But, I also sometimes feel like I groan with creation.. especially when huge tragedy’s happen and the evil and sin of man is exposed, it’s like I ache in a completely different way, for the way things have gone so terribly wrong, and aren’t the way they are meant to be.

I feel like this describes me more often than I’d like to admit. I hate the idea that I speak silence when people are actually wanting me to give them hope. That idea kills me.
