The Voice
gave her an opportunity
and she didn’t waste it
at 15, Brennley Brown
brought the house down
win or lose
she did what she was supposed to do
she pulled you in
and held you
there
in that pure place
where the right words
at the right time
sung the right way
make you stop
and listen
and pray …
“I went up to the mountain
because You asked me to
up over the clouds
to where the sky was blue
I could see all around me
everywhere
I could see all around me
everywhere
sometimes I feel like
I’ve never been nothing but tired
and I’ll be walking
til the day I expire
sometimes I lay down
no more can I do
but then I go on again
because You ask me to
some days I look down
afraid I will fall
and though the sun shines
I see nothing at all
then I hear Your sweet voice, oh
oh, come and then go, come and then go
Lord, telling me softly
You love me
so …”
(song written by Patty Griffin)
