Grateful for Your Love-Ellie Holcomb
If you haven't jumped on the Holcomb bandwagon yet, shame on you! Ellie Holcomb, the songstress behind this week's tune, not only has a solo career, but she performs in her husband's band Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors too! I appreciate all of Ellie's music because she lays her vulnerable heart out on the table for all to see. Her talent creates a space for authentic worship and soul healing. Ellie's music is relate-able without being generic. This woman's passion for our Creator is inspiring.
I LOVE this song. This is the good news of the Gospel wrapped up in song. Every time I listen to is I want to cry and shout "Hallelujah!", simultaneously! He does indeed chase our sin to the dark ends and He is oh so faithful.
If you are like me, songs like this don't remain just songs for long. It's easy to make a song a prayer, to sing praise of who God is back to Him or to meditate on the truths in the lyrics. Especially when you're having a day that has made you feel as if sin still has power over you or when you are questioning God's faithfulness. Many times, when I am having days of darkness or doubt, I turn to scripture and songs like these to pray truth and light back into my life.
Enough words, more music. Enjoy this song and be sure to listen to anything "Holcomb" that you can get your hands (or ears) on!
Lyrics:
Love is an ocean, Hope is a promise, Light is overtaking, Grace is overwhelming
You chase the sin to the dark and Lord we're grateful, oh we're grateful, You captured our hearts with your love, oh Lord You' re faithful, You are faithful, Nothing we've ever done was too much for You to handle on the Cross, We're grateful for Your love
Weight is lifted, Mercy tore the curtains, Sin is no master, Freedom calls our name
You chase the sin to the dark and Lord, We're grateful, oh we're grateful, You captured our hearts with Your love, Oh Lord You're faithful, You are faithful, Nothing that we've ever done was too much for You to handle on the Cross, We're grateful for Your love
Life is granted, Chains have been broken,
You chase the sin to the dark and Lord, we're grateful, oh we're grateful, You captured our hearts with Your love, O Lord You're faithful, You are faithful, Nothing that we've ever done was too much for you to handle on the Cross, We're grateful for Your love, You chase the sin to the dark and Lord, we're grateful, oh we're grateful, You captured our hearts with Your love Oh Lord, You're faithful, you are faithful, Nothing that we've ever done was too much for you to handle on the Cross, We're grateful for Your love, We are grateful, We're grateful, We are grateful for Your love, Were grateful for Your Love
