I lay in the fields
Watching you arise the dead in me
Everyone’s looking for something.
Across the ground, scattered with the bones of past psalms and revolutions and the old, worn faith your father lent you.
Everyone is singing a song. And it’s always about the same thing. Love lost, love found, that great open space between heaven and earth.
Forget the proselytism, forget the harsh edges of the letter of the law. There’s someone up there, and He is like water and fire, deep with grace and mystery.
These are not songs of a preacher. They’re not ballads to lilting love. These are just alms to that old, worn faith. Skin for the skeleton. The sound of someone looking for a resurrection. From the opening throes of ‘Hallelujah’ to the closing refrain of ‘Resurrection Song’, Water and Fire is the sound of someone who travels with dust on his feet, connected to the earth, but eyeing heaven.
Everyone’s looking for something. Sometimes it is home. Sometimes it’s that long lost love. Sometimes it’s God.
Most times it is all of these.
This is my resurrection song,
Written in the only ink I own.
Mountain
Strahan Lyrics

Every shadow removed in the light
Every ending starts with a story
Every child with the seed of life
Dawning is the mountain
Dawning is the mountain of
Dawning is the mountain
Every fortress falls in the war
And only blood is drawn by the sword
Every hollow filled with... your presence
And every child is a child of God
Dawning is the mountain
Dawning is the mountain of
Dawning is the mountain
Of The Lord
We await your love like a thief in the night
We await your power for the souls of light
We sing hallelujah
We sing hallelujah
We await your love from heaven's stairs
Where the angels and cherubim all do declare
We sing hallelujah
We sing hallelujah
We await your love like a thief in the night
We await your power for the souls of light
We sing hallelujah
We sing hallelujah
We await your love from heaven's stairs
Where the angels and cherubim all do declare
We sing hallelujah
We sing hallelujah

I am so blessed to have found such artistic and beautiful worship music in today's time. Josh Garrels, Strahan, have really given worship music another meaning. So deep, so pure, so real, I can't help but feel in my spirit the truth in the lyrics. Blessings to you Strahan!
