Last Friday. Sara Groves concert. Spoke to my weary heart. Her music speaks such truth into my life that it was such an honor to get to see her in person. Still blows my mind when I think about it.
She was joined by Jenny & Tyler.
"Faint Not"
A song I've been listening to for a long time now but never really heard.
the problem’s not a gun, not a color, not a hundred dollar bill
we think the struggle can be won with simple thoughts like 'come together be good willed'
the gap between the rich and poor is spreading out all the more or so they say
we ignore the claims
o my soul, faint not, no
faint not
o my soul, keep up, up
in love
it’s not that we don’t know or we’re not shown the proof of poverty
it’s not that we don’t have the tools to go to break this yoke of slavery
we quit because it’s not an easy fix and then forget that they are even there
we forget to care
o my soul, faint not, no
faint not
o my soul, keep up, up
in love
where there is hatred, let me sow love
where there is injury, let me pardon
where there is darkness, let the Light come, come
o my soul, faint not, no
faint not
o my soul, keep up, up
in love
o my soul, faint not, no
faint not
o my soul, keep up, up
in love
faint not
faint not.

Katie, this song has been one of my theme songs for working at Room in the Inn. I listen to it on my way to work on days when I know that I do not have enough strength for another sad story, another child passing through, gone to who-knows-where. Amen. Oh my soul. Faint not.
I also love their song "This is Just So Beautiful"...but we've already talked about that, I think.
Oh yes. A song I blast when I know I can't do it any more and need to reminded that the LORD can.
