Summer Part 2

www.myspace.com/joliebritt

First song: Written after a tough end to the year, I'm writing about my support system at school, but also about a hope for something better. A song about decisions, with a promise of support no matter how things go.

Second song: Written last year for a best friends 20th birthday. It's probably going to be rerecorded and rewritten for a more universal story.

Hope you enjoy. New songs, including the one in the previous post to be posted as soon as my computer stops being stupid.

My Spring and Summer Part 1

We are climbing Jacob's stairway
Where the angels of God are arranging,
While at the top that touches heaven,
Stands a God who is I AM and always,
And as He looks down He will tell us
Of a promise that will move us
To compassion, to repentence,
Where His loving presence and joy abounds.

Here we stand at the gate of heaven
So unworthy of His call.
He is sending us so broken
To reveal His covenant to all.

We are sitting by Jacob's river
Wrestling with a Man whose glory
Cripples us as a reminder
That only by His grace we stand.
As we wrestle He will change our
Name from liar into fighter,
And in the struggle, He reveals His
Face to us who wander on.

Here we stand at the gate of heaven
So unworthy of His call.
He is sending us so broken
To reveal His covenant to all.

We have laid our alters down.
