Stop & Listen

Bethany Dillon released a new album titled "Stop & Listen," inspired by the story of Mary and Martha and Jesus.

My personal favorites so far are "Everyone to Know" and "So Close." Take a moment to stop and listen, eh eh?! haha (If you click on "Stop & Listen" above, it will link you to her album on myspace. You don't need an account to listen :D)




Lyrics to "So Close"
I’m so close to being so far away from You
I was wrong, but it takes so much to say it to You
Like a broken husband and wife
Who never talk but share their nights
I’m so close to being so far away from You
I have nothing when I’m living apart from You

Outside, creation groans
To lose our darkness and be made whole
For my feet are close to slipping
Speak to my heart in time
You have promised, so I do believe
You won’t forget this wandering child

Still, I’m so close to being so far away from You
Though I know no one on their own makes it through
My soul clings to the dust
So in Your life, let it be enough

I’m so foolish to believe that I can escape Your love
I’m so foolish to believe that I can escape Your love

For my feet were close to slipping
You spoke to my heart in time
You have promised, so I do believe
You won’t forget this wandering child
You’re so close when I feel far away from You
You’re so close when I feel far away from You
