This Time

(joanne de seyne / andy richards)


this kind of love

consumes me

blistering love

it soothes


i feel the waves

wash over me

i can feel the waves

rise up from inside me


this time i found a way

this time I found my way to you

this time i found a way

i found a way to get to you

this time i found my way

hey!


sometimes i see

the heat rise (the waves)

shimmering (lights) sounds

of our (life) glory


i feel the waves

wash over me

i can feel the ache (feel the ache)

rise up from inside me


this time i found a way

this time I found my way to you

this time i found a way

i found a way to get to you

this time i found my way

hey!  This Time!


rise

shimmering sounds

‘til I fly


mmm, i feel

i can feel the ache

rise up from inside me


this time i found my way

this time i found my way


hey! This Time

all the saints are praying

oooh, i love you

oooh

This Time!

Armour

(matty)


you stirred a tempest in my heart I know I felt it

one so devout he filled my soul with love abounding

forever close my hands will never go unknowing

i've seen a world where people powerfully changing

ah...

you are my armour


you broke the chains within my tongue your people heard you

you built the peace within the walls I’ll battle for you

i saw the ships, the dreams I’ve made, you’ve got them sailing

my life will be to you forever prevailing

ah...

you are my armour


with my breast plate on, my armour strong

I'm walking through the flames

with a sword in hand, resounding sound as they all walk away

with a breast plate on, my armour strong

I'm walking through the flames

with a sword in hand, resounding sound as they all walk away

ooooh


he turned me in and heard my world falling under

you set my feet on solid ground, you are my wonder

your every word will be to me like living water

you feed the thousands, your word like armour


Influenced by Ephesians 6:10-20, from the pen of the apostle Paul

John 3:8: “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

The word spirit in both Hebrew and Greek means “breath” or “wind.” Both a breath of air and a breeze are appropriate images for the Holy Spirit

we meditate on the glory of that Being

who has produced this universe;

may He enlighten our minds)
