A Ripple in the Sea (Ripple)
A praise song of the humble heart.
I am a simple musician finding ways to be heard...so here is the first, maybe first of concern. If anything I hate the bland monotony of some of the popular bands' lyrics and even music...so I tend to attempt to redefine what is to be heard.
Story behind the song
This song started on the whim of little guitar riff from my recently acquired acoustic in the timeline that compares to this song itself. It's a song I've actually dabbled quite a bit with experimenting, but I mean that lyrically. The words are a song of praise, but one also of realization...where we are before the magnificience of God. It's also a prayer...of sorts...and as for that what that the title means, I let you figure that out.
Lyrics
Light calms and plays…
Reflected ribbons take their flight.
What we know and what we see
Is only a fraction of the night.
Do you recall
The twitch of a finger,
That made the sea.
With the sky falling down…
What do we believe.
Ripples on the reflected moonlight.
Stars that dot my eternal dream,
Do you know this name
Praising you in your timeless spin.
With all of my heart…
And all of me…
I bow to this
I bow to thee.
With all I’ve held
And all that I’ve loved
Nothing compares…
To you, My God.
So clear in my mind,
The world, it gleams
Before my humble eyes.
Grass that waves
Under wind’s reprove…
As night becomes day.
(Sunrise shines through…
But I begin to…)
Turn away for it’s too bright,
Why night must run
While I’m in its arms?
Shelter me from...
The very dawn of man’s sin,
The beginning of my own.
Let me stay with You, Father…
Don’t leave me alone…
With all of my heart…
And all of me…
I bow to this
I bow to thee.
With all I’ve held
And all that I’ve loved
Nothing compares…
To you, My God.
With all of my blood,
Run through my veins.
I cannot price,
What I can’t see.
But here’s my life,
Make it worth something!
That’s pure in Your eyes…
A ripple in the Sea.
