lyrics
Faint were we, and fears possessed us, bruised were we from many falls
Hope was gone, and shame distressed us, but His love would pardon all.
We were lost when Jesus found us, found the sheep that went astray.
Raised us up, broke and bound us, taught our hearts to know His way.
Chorus:
We will sing,
Bathed in His riches.
We will sing
Of the love he spoke in blood.
We will sing
We are held by His promise.
We are carried by the faithfulness of our God.
Days of darkness still may meet us, Sorrow’s path we will oft tread;
But His presence still is with us, by his guiding hand we’re led.
He will keep us till the river, Rolls its waters at our feet:
Then He’ll bear us safely over, There His beauty we will meet.
(Chorus)
Faint were we, and fears possessed us, bruised were we from many falls
Hope was gone, and shame distressed us, but His love would pardon all.
The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 15, 2024
