Song Description

It is about the comfort avaible only in the Word of God. The music takes us from the wintery steppes of Russia where cosacks set huts ablaze to the shores of galilee where a teacher hangs out with his friends

Lyrics

Solace




close window



Sinking in the water
And drowning in the sea
Well I think of all the things you promised
And all you mean to me
Searching through the scriptures
And pouring out my heart
Well I feel the faith rise up within me now
In the solace of your word


I find some comfort there
Solace of your word
Leads me to a peace so rare
Solace of your word, finding new direction
Well I feel the faith rise up within me now
In the solace of your word


It's another way of thinking
And all my education
Means nothing in your sight
And not to mention
All the secrets I am missing
When I put my confidence in me, and trust not
In the solace of your word


I find some comfort there ...


Well there's more to the writings than poetry
W ell there's more to the writings than history
When the pieces don't fit like a mystery
I call on your spirit and he helps me see
Down the firing line I can feel the heat
I'm singing the psalms and the music is sweet
I'm moving from the milk to the solid meat
You show me the places to put my feet


I feel the solace, solace of your word ...... ye, yea, yeah
Solace, Solace, Solace of your word
Talkin' about the solace of your:


"I praise you Father, Lord of heaven and earth
Because you have hidden these things
From the wise and learned
And revealed them to little children
Yes Father for this was your good pleasure"
