The last song on the album and the last song we recorded – the whole trip Joel wanted to get this song under an Olive tree – like the in the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus would have prayed…. For US!<\/p>\n

We were exhausted but our team had found the perfect location – the third location of the day – we set up the full record system and went for it – what we got we feel is a little bit of magic – and hopefully it captures what Jesus may have thought about us – in his last moments.<\/p>\n
The whole experience in Israel was surreal and even the thought of Jesus thinking of us as he lived his last moments is confronting.<\/p>\n

\nCCLI Song No. 7037927 <\/p>\n
VERSE 1:
\nI tempered the storm
\nThough your faith was small
\nI prayed while you slept
\nAnd the night waged war
\nWe stood in the fire
\nAnd we walked on sea
\nAnd we drank of the wine
\nThat was made of Me <\/p>\n
PRE-CHORUS:
\nDon\u2019t turn your eyes from Me
\nFor My love won\u2019t be undone
\nDon\u2019t hide your face from Me
\nFor My light has surely come
\nSurely come surely come <\/p>\n
VERSE 2:
\nI carried that cross
\nAnd I felt your pain
\nI took up your crown
\nAnd I wore your shame
\nAnd death was a fire
\nAnd its teeth were grim
\nBut I left it behind
\nA\u2018Long with all your sin <\/p>\n
PRE-CHORUS 2:
\nDon\u2019t turn away from Me
\nFor My love won\u2019t be undone
\nDon\u2019t hide your face from Me
\nFor My light has surely come
\nSurely Come surely come <\/p>\n
CHORUS:
\nLift up your eyes and see
\nHeaven is closer than you know
\nLift up your voice and sing
\nKnow that My love won’t let you go
\nAnd I won’t forsake you <\/p>\n
Lift up your eyes and see
\nHeaven is closer than you know
\nKnow I\u2019ll never leave you
\nSo lift up your voice and sing
\nKnow that My love won’t let you go <\/p>\n
TAG:
\nAnd My light has surely come
\nSurely come surely come
\nAnd I’m closer than you know
\nAnd I’m closer than you know<\/p>\n
RESPONSE:
\nLord I hear You I know You’re there
\nCloser now than my skin and bones could dare
\nBreathing deep within me
\nYou are always with me
\nI can see You where eyes can’t stare
\nBrighter now than the sun could ever dare
\nBreathing all around me
\nGod I know You’re with me here
\nLord I hear You I know You’re there
\nCloser now than my skin and bones could dare
\nBreathing deep within me
\nYou are always with me
\nI can see You where eyes can’t stare
\nBrighter now than the sun could ever dare<\/p>\n
Breathing all around me
\nGod I know that You are here
\nFor I\u2019m Yours and You are mine
\nAnd my soul knows well
\nYou are here
\nYou are here
\nAnd my soul will praise You
\nAnd my soul will praise Your Name
\nSinging holy is Your Name
\nJesus
