World Of Mine - Phil Keaggy

For the next couple of blog items I plan to post lyrics of songs that mean something to me, or speak to me or that I just want to share with you.

The first is World Of Mine by Phil Keaggy.
I love this artist - I think he is awesome and God has used him so much to just bring us some fabulous music. I don't think I could ever get tired of listening to his work. A very talented musician, I hope he comes over to the UK to perform again...I would so be there!


Everybody wants to know exactly how it feels.
To be in this place - well I don't know
I've been wondering myself
Everytime I go

I wanna tell you 'bout everything I've seen
I wanna tell you 'bout every place I've been
I haven't even known what it means to
Walk in these shoes of mine

Chorus
Standing on the corner watching as the world goes by
Sometimes I connect and sometimes I reflect and cry
I see myself in a wounded heart
All by myself in a crowded bar
To find a flicker in this fallen dark world of mine

For a moment you seem like strangers
Exchange a few words
And suddenly you share the same heartbeat
They look deep into your eyes, they ask
Does God hear me anymore
Why have I been denied

You wanna tell me 'bout every broken dream
You wanna tell me 'bout all the pain you've seen
You say
You haven't even known what it means to walk
In these shoes of mine - but I'm trying

Chorus

To see myself in a wounded heart
And be of help if I can do my part
To be a flicker in this fallen dark world of mine.
