lyrics

Shame

The voice that made the sea
You’re calling out to me
Are you wanting me to walk on water?
Don’t you know who I am?
You’ve proven to me that I can barely stand...
And you’re wanting me to walk on water

It’s a matter of pride that I stand by your side
“Even if others run and hide I stand till the day I die”
This makes you smile
Why do you shake your head and smile?

How deep is my sin
When the author of waves and wind
Can speak into me and yet I fight within?
How deep is my lie
When the very author of life
To awaken me must stretch his arms and die?

And I can’t wait for my emotions to come around
This pride inside has only let me down
I’ve wasted so many years on insecure fears
an indulgence with a trail of blood and tears
I can’t wait for my emotions to come around

Stay my hand
Sheathe my sword
Let no more innocent blood be shed by these two hands my Lord

The voice that made the sea
You’re calling out to me
You’re telling me that I can walk on water
You know who I am
You’ve proven to me that I can barely stand
And I will believe that I can walk on water

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.
