Stavesacre Soothes

If one album were a salve for the hurting heart, I submit it might be "Speakeasy" by Stavesacre.

In preparing for FUSION this week, I have been spending the week in Psalm 13. At one moment, I was stricken with the comparison of one song by Stavesacre and its connection to Psalm 13. Take a look at the connection.

PSALM 13
How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?

Look on me and answer, O LORD my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;
my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.

I will sing to the LORD,
for he has been good to me.

FREEFALL (Hand to Hand) by Stavesacre

Sleepless eyes open wide. Before Heaven I stand again
If there's no winning this war tonight, I was wondering

If you could steady my spinning head.

And trusting gets harder now
I wish you were here beside me
My failures, my fears and doubts have been haunting me
I'm just not who I thought I'd be

Freefall weightless and terrified
On I go crossing over from living to so alive
And purified I know weeping is cast for the night

And joy...

Thought I was a good man and fell short of my standards
Now what am I left with. All of nothing
And my first taste of freedom

Freefall weightless and terrified
On I go crossing over from living to so alive
And purified. I know weeping is cast for the night
And joy...

If I fall down
If I fail you
When I fall down
When I fail you
I hope to find you there
I hope to find you there
I know I'll find you there
I've always found you there

Freefall weightless and terrified
On I go crossing over from living to so alive
And purified I know weeping is cast for the night
But joy comes in the morning.
