I think writing lyrics is the hardest thing, especially if you try to put them to music. But there are lots of great songs.
This is a Christian forum and this question is directed solely at Christians. What song lyrics move you? They can be Christian songs they might not be. I've found that sometimes some of the most powerful songs can be be non-Christian but you can imagine God singing it or it seems to represent how you feel in your walk, etc...
So here's a place to post song lyrics that have moved you, mean something to you, stir your heart, etc... It can be one or two lines, it can be an entire song. You decide on that.
Some that have moved me are...
Rich Mullins:
Well sometimes my life just don't make sense at all
When the mountains look so big
And my faith just seems so small
So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been king of my glory
Won't you be my prince of peace?
And I wake up in the night and feel the dark
It's so hot inside my soul
I swear there must be blisters on my heart
So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been king of my glory
Won't you be my prince of peace?
Surrender don't come natural to me
I'd rather fight you for something I don't really want
Thank to take what you give that I need.
And I've beat my head against so many walls
Now I'm falling down
I'm falling on my knees
Bebo Norman:
Sometimes at night when I am afraid
I cover my eyes, I cover my shame
So here in the dark, broken apart
Come with your light and fill up my heart
Oh great light of the world fill up my soul
I'll never mend here so come make me whole
Oh great light of the world come to impart
The light of your grace to fill up my heart
(And before anyone argues with me that it's not supposed to be "I'll never mend here," that is how we sing it in church. I like it way better than "I'm half a man here.")
