C.S. Lewis has long been one of my favorite authors and I look forward to having long conversations with him in heaven. So when I ran across this song, well, I just had to pass it along. The Artist is Brook Fraser, a New Zealander. The lyrics follow the youtube video. The first stanza is actually a loose quote from (I think) Mere Christianity.
“C.S. Lewis Song”
I can only conclude that I was not made for here
If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary,
then of course I’ll feel nude when to where I’m destined I’m compared
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
I will sigh and with all creation groan as I wait for hope to come for me
Am I lost or just less found? On the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way?
is this a soul that stirs in me, is it breaking free, wanting to come alive?
Cos my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
And avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE:]
For we, we are not long here
Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it
And I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know you
Hope is coming for me
Hope, He’s coming for me
Hope, is coming for me
Hope is coming
[CHORUS]
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
I will sigh and with all creation groan as I wait for hope to come for me
for me, for me, for me
