Unredeemed in 2011






Unredeemed-Selah
Click the song title to hear the song while you read. This version allows us the chance to hear a little bit about the song in the words of one of the band members, Todd Smith. It sounds like it was performed live. Oh, and scroll down to pause the blog music. :)

The cruelest world
The coldest heart
The deepest wound
The endless dark
The lonely ache
The burning tears
The bitter nights
The wasted years

Life breaks and falls apart
But we know these are
Places where grace is soon to be so amazing
It may be unfulfilled
It may be unrestored
But when anything that's shattered is laid before the Lord
Just watch and see
It will not be unredeemed

For every choice that led to shame
And all the love that never came
For every vow that someone broke
And every lie that gave up hope
We live in the shadow of the fall
But the cross says these are all
Places where grace is soon to be so amazing
It may be unfulfilled
It may be unrestored
But when anything that's shattered is laid before the Lord
Just watch and see
It will not be unredeemed

Places where grace is soon to be so amazing
It may be unfulfilled
It may be unrestored
But you never know the miracle the Father has in store
Just watch and see
It will not be
Just watch and see
It will not be unredeemed

This song really spoke into my heart again today and I was sure grateful for the timing of when it was played. I heard this tender song just in time to hold those words close to my heart for when the pain was filling up to overflow. Click here to hear another version of this same song, this one sounds more like the one from the recording studio. Both tender in their own way...

Me in overflow? Imagine that!

I will watch and see... and in the mean time, I will cling to the one who can redeem it ALL.
