This song is different than anything i’ve ever tried to do with a song. It has no verse, chorus, bridge structure…just verses I suppose…with some yearnful ooohs and aaahs in the middle of each. It was inspired by a prophet in the Bible named Elijah. You can read about it in 1Kings 19:9-16.
<first take recorded on an iPhone>
i came upon this mountain
following your voice
broken for your people
zealous for the lord
oh, i waited on the lord
the wind, it blew so mighty
rending as it went
you were merely passing by
but you weren’t in the wind
oh, i’m waiting on the lord
the rock around me shattered
as the earth began to shake
power shown around me
but you weren’t in the quake
oh, i’m waiting on the lord
the fire came so sudden
like a lion that’s untamed
consuming all it touches
but you weren’t in that flame
oh, i’m waiting on the lord
the land, it fell in silence
nothing could be heard
a whisper broke the tension
twas the voice of my lord
oh, i’ve heard from my lord
Dude, this is awesome. I love it.
