lyrics

All the Time Is Quiet Time

In the morning... I will lift my hands and sing you a song
I know it's good for me it will help me all day long
When I sing to you a song

And in the quiet... I will lift my hands and praise you through the day
I know it's good for me it will drive the doubt away
When I praise you through the day

But it's so much easier in the quiet of the day
To hear your voice still and clear
It's about 20 times as hard when trouble comes my way
To tell my soul to be still- I will not bow to fearPraise your God
Lift your voice and sing
Let everything within you bow before the King of Kings!
Praise your God!
And your soul it will be still!
Everything within you bending to the Father's will!In the afternoon... Anxiety hits and it's like I'm howling at the moon
So much to do and I'm feeling so distant from you
Will rest be coming soon?

So in the chaos... I will ignore the voice that tells me to dispair
I will defy the urge that tells me I'm alone
And I will make my struggle known


I know it's hard to get vulnerable when your belly's full of fear
The day to day can make hard to see and hard to hear
Somehow we've got to train ourselves to be honest and be true
There's nothing else for us to say, nothing else to do
(chorus)
Creation- it sings it's praise to you
In the chaos- it sings it's praise to you
And who are we- not to do what they do
And live out every day- a life of praising you

about

The Longing Selmer, Tennessee

The Longing is music by John and Yvonne Cullimore.

We seek to bring music that will connect with you both in sound and poetry, melding loops and beats with hammered dulcimer, 12-string guitar and layers of vocals and harmonies.

More importantly is that we enjoy our music, and can use them for worship and prayer. We certainly do hope and pray that you can do the same. ... more
