"You & I" - Future of Forestry lyrics

i have to emphasize, once again... i think that looking at the lyrics of song is a lost art... since we often don't have the hard copy of them anymore (those days are gone... but i still love iTunes), i wonder how many people truly examine the lyrics of good artists... if it is a good artist, then there is usually a rich, deep texture to the lyrics that provokes questions, thoughts, and memories... just like a good painting.

man do i remember the days of buying a tape or cd.... sitting by my stereo and listening to the entire album, all the while reading the lyrics off of the album insert.... gone are those days... gone is my stereo...

here is a simple expression of what someone perceives God to be...

"You & I" - Future of Forestry

Water for the thirsty
Wholeness for the meek
Shelter and foundation for the weak
Friendship for the lonely
Riches for the poor
Fulfillment for the ones who yearn for more

You are what I long for
You are what I need

When it's You and I
Then my heart can sing
When it's You and I
Then my soul is free
You are all my life
You are all my strength
You are all my hope
You are everything

So take me to the inside
The inside of your heart
Take me to the depths of who You are
Shake me with Your wonder
Stir me with Your grace
Lighting every dark and empty space

You are here, You surround me
Glory falls from the fountain of Your beauty
You are now, You surround me
Glory falls from your tender hand of mercy
You are God, You surround me
Glory falls from Your love
