Everything comes down to Love

Music has always been a passion for me, whether it's singing, dancing to it (sometimes not all that well), or just letting the words penetrate my heart and speak to how I'm feeling. I love music. Certain songs stir up such emotion in me (for instance, John just played 'Canon in D' on the stereo in the bedroom, held me close, and I couldn't hold back the tears). Other songs make me think of friends, a memory from my past, or both: like making up dances to NKOTB songs in the living room with my sisters!

Lately, this has been my song; for whatever, this song has really been meaningful to me, and just happens to come on K-LOVE everytime I need a little hope, or reminder that I am not my own...

Hope Now
By: Addison Road


If everything comes down to love
Then just what am I afraid of
When I call out Your name
Something inside awakes in my soul
How quickly I forget I'm Yours

(Pre-chorus)
I'm not my own
I've been carried by You
All my life

(Chorus)
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free

When my life is like a storm
Rising waters all I want is the shore
You say I'll be ok and
Make it through the rain
You are my shelter from the storm


(Pre-chorus)
I'm not my own
I've been carried by You
All my life

(Chorus)
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free

(Chorus 2)
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free

You've become my hearts desire
I will sing Your praises higher
Cause Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free

So are you going to make up a dance to that, or what? I'll clear out our living room so you can perform it. :) Love ya.
