Blog Theme Song -- "Hush" by Waterdeep

Song Title: Hush
Artist: Waterdeep
Album: Everyone's Beautiful
Writer: Lori Chaffer

When you feel like the days just drone on and on and on
And you feel like the nights are quickly gone

And on the inside your heart is gaping wide
And on the inside you feel like no one’s on your side
Well, I am

When you thought you could rest, but you found out you were wrong
And there’s another need another battle
Another one more thing that comes along

And on the inside
You hear the fall but you hate the falling sound
And on the inside
You can’t pick another broken piece up off the ground
Well I know

CHORUS

Hush little baby don’t say a word
Daddy’s gone and bought you a great big heaven to rest in
He’s bought it with blood and put the seal in your heart
It’ll give you the hope you need to get up and start again

When all the things you thought you left behind are still hanging on
And everything you try to do right ends up all wrong

And on the inside everyone else seems basically fine
But on the inside even they won’t let go of the dead and cling to what’s alive
Well I AM

Disclaimer: I know very very little about music. The following words mean nothing to me: key, pitch, harmony, rhythm, etc. I will not be commenting on how well songs and hymns are sung during my postings, but that's all for the better. What I do know is whether or not a song is consistent with the Bible and whether or not it glorifies God.

Why I like it: I have decided this song would be a great fit to be the blog's theme song. (A blog theme hymn will be chosen shortly, perhaps tonight!) For starters, let me begin by saying the words alone don't do justice to how great the song is -- Waterdeep does a fantastic job of making this song truly beautiful. I listen to this song at work a lot, and don't get me wrong, I love my job, but I feel those first two lines many a day! The basic idea of the song is that some sort of tired or weary soul is a mess inside but God can offer hope and fulfillment. This is so true, and exactly what Jesus was talking about Matthew 11:28 at the top of the page. I think those comments from Jesus can be applied to Christians and non-Christians both, as can this song.

Related Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Favorite Line: "Hush little baby don’t say a word; Daddy’s gone and bought you a great big heaven to rest in." Gotta love it. So often I should just shut up and let God be God and trust in the greater things to come instead of being overly worried or concerned about the meaningless things going on in this life.
