Bethany Dillon

I just love Bethany Dillon. Her lyrics always seem to speak to my heart in the deepest place at just the right moment. Today these songs spoke to me right where I needed it most. I love it when God gives us songs. It's almost like He is reaching out His hand through them and saying, "I'm still here, trust Me". Other days I feel like they put into words what my heart is struggling to do. Today, these are my heart songs:

"Tell Me"
Tell me of a time when all this gray wasn't such a fight
A road I'd stay on for so long
How long have I been this way?
I'm so addicted to feeling guilty
Like the edge of a cliff, it's about to kill me
All the reasons why You wouldn't want to love me

Could I be loved by You?
I've got so much to prove

So tell me when this night is over
And the curtain falls
That I will know the truth
When it's the only thing that's standing tall

Still I know it's like pulling teeth
To try and convince me
That Your mercy can be bigger than what I deserve
I guess I'm just afraid to go head first
Into such a wave, drowning in wonder and peace
Knowing that it will never make sense
That I am loved by You, really loved by You

Unchangeable, unconquerable
Immovable, irremovable
Unwavering, untiring
Unflinching, stubborn love of God


"Something There"
Am I a hopeless case?
You keep saying the same things
But is it on my face?
That it isn't sinking in
Like a homeless man tapping on a car window
I feel so disconnected but so in need to hear this
Do You still see:

Something there, yeah, yeah, yeah
Something there, yeah, yeah, yeah
Something there, yeah, yeah, yeah

I've never been good or brave enough to ask the question
If I'm breathing in does that mean You still want me?
That You still see:

Something there, yeah, yeah, yeah
Something there, yeah, yeah, yeah
Something there, yeah, yeah, yeah

There are lines on my hands
This sky makes any heart beat faster
I'm breathing out and breathing in
I know that You see, I know that You see
