Worship Songs

ROUND AND ROUND

Round and round on a whistelin' Sunday

I took Your heart to keep

it was easy to me, like a slow-motion rescue

you laid me down to sleep

but weeds grow up in hidden places

and bitter roots so secretly take place

and the hard lines of winter cement your good intentions

and your righteousness it can all but erase

up and down like a sky-rise window-washer

I never stop to stay

I read that book like a high-school assignment

and it never took my breath away

but needs rise up to drive you forward

in the face of strong adversity

and beings cry out for recognition

even when they can't identify the need

to be passionately loved

and to passionately love

to be naked unafraid

and happy in one place

to have all of your attentions

surrendered to the truth

to be bathed head to toe

in the blood saved for you

to be eager to release

and the first one to repent

and to never even notice

when hours are spent

to come boldly to a throne

while all of life ensues

and be helplessly in love

with the blood saved for you

to be held like a baby

and to hold on like a baby

...Michelle Patterson--10/2/96

I don't know if there is a proper way to write lyrics for a song, and if this is wrong I apologize. But! The above is my FAVORITE song, ever! It was written and sung by friends of ours. Barry and Michelle Patterson. This song is from their first album, Birth, which is by far my favorite.
