Gratis songdownload: 'Weightless' (Christa Wells)

Via de blog van Tim Challies stootte ik op een gratis mp3 van Christa Wells' mooie song 'Weightless'. Hier vind je de link bij Challies.

Dit is de site van Christa Wells zelf. Ook daar weer een gratis download.

De tekst van 'Weightless' - over de vrijheid van vergeving - is in elk geval van zwaarder kaliber dan de titel doet vermoeden:

WEIGHTLESS


Nothing scalds
like the memory of wrongs I did when I was young
how could I, how could I
I’m sorry

I see the eyes
of the ones that I so carelessly abused
how could I, how could I
I’m sorry

Well, I’ve carried this a long time
in a well hidden bundle on my back
but I’ve realized repentance is weightless
so I’ll leave my burden on the tracks

And then I face
the yesterdays that disappointed
misunderstood by a cruel world
and I’m angry

You might suppose
the years would close the curtains on a scene
from such a time, but this was mine to harbor

Well, I’ve carried this a long time
in a well-hidden bundle on my back
but I’ve realized forgiveness is weightless
so I’ll leave my burden on the tracks

Its gonna be like delivery that’s overdue and getting too heavy
Then suddenly, I’m weightless
