I discovered a song by Nichole Nordeman a few weeks ago and it is almost as if she wrote the autobiography of my life with God with it. It’s such deep theology in it, it’s left me floored. Anyway here is it. I changed two words in it to fit better with my story but other than that it is untouched, I have just put the dates by the places the lyrics fit with.
This is where your ship went down 6th Feb 2017
Right there, stern and bow
You took on waves, took on water
You took the blame, even harder
You drug a net across the ocean floor
Just rubbish and a broken oar
You washed on shore beneath the moon
And I’m not sure you want me to
But I’ll put you back together
Hush, hush March
You don’t have to have the answers April
Hush, hush May
I will gather all the branches June
I will light a fire for you July
Rest your head ’til you’ve had rest enough August
Hush, now hush September
Hush, hush October
It’s worse in the light of day November
It hurts the things they say December
You wrote big letters in the sand January
You watch the sky and wave your hands February
But I love you if they never come March
I love you in the scorching sun April
One cup of water at a time May
‘Til you remember you are mine June
And I will love you back together July
Hush, hush August
You don’t have to have the answers September
Hush, hush October
I will gather all the branches November
I will light a fire for you December
Rest your head ’til you’ve had rest enough January
Hush, now hush February
Hush, hush March
One cup of water at a time April
‘Til you remember you are mine 18th May 2019
I am the calm, I am the sea
Your rescue and recovery
And I am the storm that swallowed you 6th Feb 2017 & 25 July 2018
I let you bleed, I thought you knew 6-10th July 2018
And I am the bottom, and I am the floor September-October 2018
I am the deep you never knew before 1st November 2018
I let you sink and I let you go 13th March 2018
But I caught you in the undertow 14th October 2018
And I am the shore, and I am the flame
And mercy is My name 5th May 1983 till forever.
Hush, hush
Hush now
