Here is my 3rd song for 7in7.

Somewhat uncharacteristic of my writing (which is why I love 7in7), it’s more of a song of anguish, but I think in a lot of ways it is written like some of the lamenting psalms of David… I think of Jesus in Gethsemane crying out in such intense anguish pleading with God.

It’s okay to be real with God… I’m pretty sure He’s big enough. I just felt the need to write a song about brokenness and finding Christ there.

Hurry Now by stephenmiller

If we are being honest
I’m not okay
If we are being honest
I’ve never felt so lonely
I’ve never felt so broken

No matter how I try to pick up the pieces
And fix the cracks in my heart
I stop and stare at the wall – just an empty canvas
Can’t help but feel its barrenness

But I know that you
Have been here too
Rejected and mistreated
So you stand with me
To lift me out
To lift me out
But could you hurry now?

Searching to find the bright side
A silver line on the clouds
Cause I know you’re riding on them
But it’s so dark in this light now

Imagining all the ways that I could spin it
But nothing will suffice
Seems absurd to call this a happy living
So hard to see the point sometimes

God I know that you have been here too
Rejected and mistreated
WIll you come to me and rescue me
Lift me out
Please hurry now

Here is another song for 7in7. It’s called Depths & Heights.

Depths & Heights by stephen-13

What depth has my depravity
But OH! What height has your grace
Oh Beauty conquer brokenness
Subduing all my shame

Rapture me with your delights
Fill my soul up with your fire
Satisfy this ever-wandering heart

What depths from which you’ve pulled me out
But OH! What heights we’ll ascend
The Majesty of your renown
I’ll sing for days without end

Rapture me with your delights
Fill my soul up with your fire
Satisfy this ever-wandering heart

Sing for Joy for Love has come
For Love has come to save
Sing for joy for He has come
To lift us from the grave

I know… I know… It’s a super original title. But here it is.

You Are Great by stephenmiller

Oh the miracle of this brand new heart
With a mighty hand you’ve made
And To think about your eternal power
How could my heart not sing

Lord you are great
So great things I will pray
Lord you are great
And greatly to be praised!

What a miracle You will split the sky
And the dead in Christ will raise
To the glory of Our risen Lord
And forever we will praise

Lord you are great
So great things I will pray
Lord you are great
And greatly to be praised!

Nothing is too much for you
And nothing is too great.
You alone are strong enough to save
