The power of a song...

"The Words"

 ~ Christina Perri ~

All of the lights land on you

the rest of the world fades from view

and all of the love I see

Please, please say you feel it too

And all of the noise I hear inside

Restless and loud, unspoken and wild

and all that you need to say to make it all go away 

is that you feel the same way too

And I know the scariest part is letting go

'cause love is a ghost you can't control

I promise you the truth can't hurt us now

So let the words slip out of your mouth

And all of the steps that led me to you

and all of the hell I had to walk through

But I wouldn't trade a day, For the chance to say

'My love, I'm in love with you'

And I know the scariest part is letting go

'cause love is a ghost you can't control

I promise you the truth can't hurt us now

So let the words slip out of your mouth

I know that we're both afraid

We've both made the same mistakes

An open heart is an open wound to you

And in the wind of a heavy choice, 

love has a quiet voice

Still your mind, now I'm yours to choose

And I know the scariest part is letting go

Let my love be the light that guides you home

And I know the scariest part is letting go

'cause love is ghost you can't control

I promise you the truth can't hurt us now

So let the words slip out of your mouth

Perhaps this song doesn't mean much to many...but for me, it created a turning point, a chance to see my story from a different perspective and an opportunity to start the process of healing. And for that, I am forever grateful. God uses all sorts of things, people and methods to speak to His children. Never forget that, and always be willing to meet Him in those unexpected places.
