After the World

One of my favorite bands for a while has been Disciple. This band is heavy heavy Christian rock (though some of you might say "no way!"). Anyways, this band puts a few acoustic songs on its records and its latest record, Scars Remain, contains this gem called "After the World". This song touches my heart, because it is about how the Lord is there leading us to Him, no matter what. It breaks my heart every time I hear them sing "...did I create, the rhythm your heart makes" because it does so many things to my mind...I remember Dad and how God created and appointed the day for his heart to cease beating, how that one day my heart will stop beating and I must face my Maker and Savior, and how that all these things give glory to God. Perhaps the song won't matter so much to you, but I commend it nonetheless...

You break the glass, try to hide your face
Recorded lines that just will not erase
And buried in your loss of innocence
You wonder if you'll find it again

Was I there for the worst of all your pain?
And was I there when your blue sky ran away?
Was I there when the rains were flooding you?
I hope you feel those were My tears falling down for you, falling down for you

I'm the One that you've been looking for
I'm the One that you've been waiting for
I've had My eyes on you ever since you were born
I will love you after the rain falls down
I will love you after the sun goes out
I'll have My eyes on you after the world is no more

Did I arrange the light of your first day?
Did I create the rhythm your heart makes?
Could you believe when your candle starts to fade?
I want to be the One that you believe
Could take it all away, take your heart away

Isn't My life a clear sign since I have crossed over this chasm
To fill the space between Me and you?
And I will do it all over again
Just look for Me, just wait for Me

The One you've been looking for
The One you've been waiting for
You won't have to look anymore
