about

Luke 11

lyrics

They used to sing -
“Compel us with your acts
Miracles and magic
Heal our sick"

Do everything we ask
To prove to us
your godliness”

He said -

“oh this generation is an evil one,
you ask for a sign to see.
How long have I been here?
When will you see the sign is me?!

For the queen of the south will rise.
let it be clear.
For she traveled far with a man in her eyes
something greater than a man is here.

so now we pray -

If we wait like those of ninivah
To the sea the throw us into
We’ll gladly be like jonah
Swallowed up, but at least we’ll know you.

I feel my heart aching for a confirming display
for my heart to cleave
Yet, I tell my self to be your clay.
And asked you’d be the only sign I need.

Tossed back a forth
like a boat in the ocean blue
Give us to the fish Let us be eaten quick
Swallowed up, but at least we’ll know you.

Swallowed up, but at least we’ll know you.

so we pray –
"compel us with your love
son from above
kill our pride

do whatever you please
to call our hearts
back to your side."

Luke 11

about

foley. Columbia

"Foley’s heart is in the message and in it’s raw delivery: Lead singer Jay Hendrickks’ songwriting hinges on his endless search for salvation and the beleaguered path of sin paving his way. He will scream his way to a song’s crescendo, the pain and yearning palpable, before you’re lulled back to the chorus." - via FreeTimes Jan 2012 ... more
