about

I've loved this song for years.

When I hear it, I sort of stand outside of it and listen. It's a definite and specific prayer for God to give our generation something, anything, worth feeling and believing in.

lyrics

We're waiting and watching the skies for any movement up there
It's been so long since we believed in anything
We believe in the liquor in our veins
The cuts in our skin
We believe in pain

We'd love to touch the face of God
But right now we'd settle for the hem of his robes

Show us something more than just this selfish life
Breathe into our lungs
Make us feel again

Our religion is skin deep
Sitting in the church pews Sunday after Sunday
Reduced to cheap cliches and posters on the wall
Give me something more than this
Make us feel again

(Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest)

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.
