The Following 2 Songs serve as a “dedication, Battle-cry and psalmist prayer” for the powerful influence of my Lord Jesus, and my wife Hope. Their life example, affection, words and prayers encourage me more than any other. They have both loved me unconditionally in a way that has delivered me from fear and challenged me to bravery in this life of faith. These songs capture the essence of this godly influence, and have blessed me with many spiritual “glimpses of glory.”
“How You Love Me” by Bebo Norman
Hope came home, Home to me today
And fear has run the other way.
And words are weak, You don't know how to say
You know I still believe in you.
And should my dreams fall though, I will be safe with you
And with every breath I can breathe
I'll sing about how you love me, I'll sing about how you love me.
“Brave” by Nichole Nordeman
The gate is wide
The road is paved in moderation
The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in
Welcome to the middle ground
You're safe and sound and
Until now it's where I've been
'Cause it's been fear that ties me down to everything
But it's been love, Your love, that cuts the strings
So long status quo
I think I just let go
You make me want to be brave
The way it always was
Is no longer good enough
You make me want to be brave
Brave, brave
I am small
And I speak when I'm spoken to
But I am willing to risk it all
I say Your name
Just Your name and I'm ready to jump
Even ready to fall...
Why did I take this vow of compromise?
Why did I try to keep it all inside?
So long status quo
I think I just let go
You make me want to be brave
The way it always was
Is no longer good enough
You make me want to be brave
Brave, brave
I've never known a fire that didn't begin with a flame
Every storm will start with just a drop of rain
But if you believe in me
That changes everything
So long, I'm gone
So long status quo
I think I just let go
You make me want to be brave
I wanna be brave
The way it always was
Is no longer good enough
You make me want to be brave
Brave, brave
