Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame star in the noir-est or noir movies In A Lonely Place.
Not a shred of sentimentality.
Bleak seems to bright a descriptor.
But compelling.
“I was born when she kissed me.
I died when she left me.
I lived a few weeks while she loved me.”
Faith, Hope And Love by Charlie Peacock.
It’s what everybody needs.
I won’t break in or climb through a window
I won’t go where there’s no invitation
Every step of mine is marked by the ticking of time
While I do the best to use my imagination
It’s a gift to receive, a means to believe
I hope not to waste, one minute of grace
I am down on my knees
Right where I need to be
There’ll be time enough to do
All I’ve dreamed of
But right now what I really need
Is faith, hope and love
Don Moen has been involved in producing music for Christian worship for decades now. Thank You Lord demonstrates the simplicity and accessibility of his work, this one written with Paul Baloche.
As a vocal leader he sings in such a way as to help others sing as well.
The lyrics:
1
I come before You today
And there’s just one thing that I want to say
Thank You Lord thank You Lord
For all You’ve given to me
For all the blessings that I cannot see
Thank You Lord thank You Lord
Pre-Chorus
With a grateful heart with a song of praise
With an outstretched arm I will bless Your name
Chorus
Thank You Lord
I just want to thank You Lord
Thank You Lord
I just want to thank You Lord
Thank You Lord
2
For all You’ve done in my life
You took my darkness and gave me Your light
Thank You Lord thank You Lord
You took my sin and my shame
You took my sickness and healed all my pain
Thank You Lord thank You Lord
Chorus
Thank You Lord
I just want to thank You Lord
Thank You Lord
I just want to thank You Lord
Thank You Lord thank You Lord
Thank You Lord thank You Lord
