The Power of Music

A song that has recently had a great inpact on me is one called "Time In Between" by Franchesca Battistelli. 


Her songs usually speak to me because of their meaning and passion she puts into them. This one, however, has more. It has the power to bring tears to the eyes of anyone who has no clue what's going on for two reasons: 1) It's beautiful and passionate and 2) because it shows the world's Creator being tortured in a gut-wrenching way. Here are some of the words and a link to the song you can find by clicking  here. Enjoy!

You were there when your Father said
"Let there be light" (Genesis 1:3) 
You obeyed when He whispered
Son, You have to leave tonight
To spend nine months in a mothers womb (Matthew 1) 
Three days in a borrowed tomb (Matthew 27:57-61) 

(Chorus One)
But it’s the time in between (Matthew 1-26) 
That brings me to my knees
Knowing you came for me (John 3:16-21)
And all that I can't be
I'm amazed, so amazed
And I thank You for the time in between

Don't take much for this crazy world
To rob me of my peace
And the enemy of my soul
Says You’re holding out on me
So I stand here lifting empty hands
For you to fill me up again

(Chorus Two)
But it’s the time in between
That I fall down to my knees
Waiting on what You'll bring
And the things that I can't see
I know my song’s incomplete
Still I'll sing in the time in between

So many ways
Your love has saved the day
And I'm grateful for them all

(Chorus 3)
But it’s the time in between
The middle of two thieves
That says everything
It’s the reason I believe (Acts 16:31)
I'm amazed, so amazed
And I thank you for the time in between
Oh Lord, I thank you for the time in between

The parts with the highlighted areas are where I looked up passages to go with these statements. There are also different ones for most, except Genesis 1. There are four gospels like John and Matthew, and there are many ways to communicate it. These are simply the ones I chose.
