how emptiness sings.

I really like to write. Blogs, letters, stories, children's books, maybe even a novel one day. I think my overall favorite is writing songs with lyrics. I'm not really that great at doing it. Often I write just the music and hope that someday I'll be able to write the words. I just can't seem to combine these two passions.

But sometimes I find a song that I easily could have written. A song that speaks my heart. A song that somehow tells part of my story. And I found another one just like that. It's called "How Emptiness Sings." And I think it'll be on repeat for a while. I'm definitely learning to play this one.

Hit play and then enjoy the music and lyrics.

Brother, he’s suffered like a tree taken down
Wept as he witnessed his dreams carved out
And how can a man just keep walking around
With his heart full of holes

But ooh,
His bow is on the strings
And the tune resonates in the open space
To show us how emptiness sings:

Glory to God, Glory to God!
In fullness of wisdom,
He writes my story into his song,
My life for the glory of God.


Sister carries her loneliness
In a hidden hollow inside her chest
And sometimes all that she wants is an end
To the long, long night

But ooh,
Her bow is on the strings,
And the tune resonates in the open space
To show us how emptiness sings:

Glory to God, Glory to God!
In fullness of wisdom,
He writes my story into his song,
My life for the glory of God.

I haven’t been asked yet to walk the hard roads
Still there’s a sense of deep loss in my soul
In the middle of a party, I’ll just want to go
Home.

But ooh,
My bow is on the strings,
I’m beginning to learn where to find the words
To the song that emptiness sings
Ooh, bow is on the strings:

Glory to God! Glory to God!
This is how emptiness sings, oh,
This is how emptiness sings.

Be encouraged. There is a song that emptiness sings.
