without you



Without You, we’re wandering deserts
Without You, we’re heavy with burdens
Milk and honey running dry 
When we’re making our own way
Under heaven’s heavy eye, Without You

Without You, we’re praying to idols
Without You, we trust in our own hands
Sweat and toil, sow and reap
When we’re making our own way
Just to toss in troubled sleep, Without You

Emmanuel, draw near and and dwell with us. 

Without You, we’re far from our homeland
Without You, we’re under a tyrant
We are one with Babylon
When we’re making our own way
 Prisoners without a song, Without You

Without You, we’re up on the mountain
Without You, we’re staring at Canaan,
This is where the journey’s done
When we’re making our own way
Hopeless way without the Son, Without You

Emmanuel, draw near and and dwell with us. 
-B. James


Bri wrote this song a few months ago for church. It's one of my new favorite songs - period.
 I'll have to post a recording of it one of these days...

Art: a monoprint I did in college - circa 2006
