All Sons and Daughters

I think I found myself a new favourite band called "All Sons and Daughters". Love their style of songwriting and worship.

Fell in love with 'em on hearing the first 2 songs...I've pasted the lyrics there too. Hope it blesses your soul :)



Reason to Sing
All Sons and Daughters

When the pieces seem to shatter
To gather off the floor
And all that seems to matter
Is that I don’t feel you anymore
No I don’t feel you anymore

I need a reason to sing
I need a reason to sing
I need to know that You’re still holding
The whole world in Your hands
I need a reason to sing

When I’m overcome by fear
And I hate everything I know
If this waiting lasts forever
I’m afraid I might let go
I’m afraid I might let go
Oh Oh Oh

I need a reason to sing
I need a reason to sing
I need to know that You’re still holding
The whole world in Your hands
I need a reason to sing

Yeah

Will there be a victory
Will You sing it over me now
Oh
Your peace is the melody
You sing it over me now
Oh Lord
Will there be a victory
Will You sing it over me now
Oh Lord
Your peace is the melody
You sing it over me now

I need a reason to sing
I need a reason to sing
I need to know that You’re still holding
The whole world in Your hands
That is a reason to sing



Brokenness Aside
All Sons and Daughters

Will your grace run out
If I let you down
‘Cause all I know
Is how to run

‘Cause I am a sinner
If its not one thing its another
Caught up in words
Tangled in lies
You are the Savior
And you take brokenness aside
And make it beautiful
Beautiful

Will you call me child
When I tell you lies
Cause all I know
Is how to cry

I am a sinner
If its not one thing its another
Caught up in words
Tangled in lies
You are the Savior
And you take brokenness aside
And make it beautiful
Beautiful

Bridge:
You make it beautiful
You make it beautiful

Songs to heal a wounded soul

EXAMS WEEKKKKK!!! 2 weeks of war!

Anyway, this post is dedicated to a really nice friend who's going through a rough patch. This friend's a really sweet person with a real tender heart.

I guess one thing we share in common is the way we treasure words, quotes, songs; and the way we appreciate the many little insignificant things that people often overlook, but mean a lot to us.

These are four life-songs of mine that God used to speak directly to my spirit and it saw me through different seasons of my life.

Yup, plug into your earpiece and let the lyrics of these awesome God-inspired songs sink into your soul and just abandon your cares and burdens right at His throne of grace :) 

1) "Safe" by Britt Nicole

I think this song describes what you've been through :)


2) "Have Your Way" by Britt Nicole


3) "Blessings" by Laura Story


4) "Something Heavenly" by Sanctus Real


Hope this lil' playlist blesses your soul :) Do check out songs by these artists. Their songs are packed with Godly truths, emotions, candour, vulnerability, heartaches but BEST OF ALL, their songs acknowledge that there is a SOLUTION in, with and through Christ.

That's what differentiates Christian songs from nice, catchy, emo, secular songs. Secular songs identify with you...and it stops there. It stops short. Christian songs tell you that there is a hope, a REMEDY, a solution...It doesn't just identify with your life, it changes your life.

Yup, jia you! :) Bye!

And for other readers, please pray for my EXAMSS!!! HAHA! :)
