Hovel

A song that often gets stuck in my head is this song below. I'm actually not sure what Dave named it, but he COMPLETELY surprised me by writing/playing this song for me at our Wedding. I often search on iTunes to listen to it, thinking it's by Shane & Shane, and then remember my wonderful husband wrote it. One of these days we are going to audio record us singing it together. I hope you enjoy it! :)

Lyrics:
Verse 1
Let us rest here among the tender roots of time
We will listen as the Lord intertwines eternal rhyme
And our home will never be this broken world it's lonely cities
But our hovel here among the weak and broken hearts, yea.
(repeat)

Chorus
Jesus, your heart is a portion for
Jesus, your love is the reason for
Jesus, you have spoken for
our brokenness, our selfishness
our loneliness, in loving confidence
We are yours.

Verse 2
*We will trade our lives in for the love of our Father
And He will overcome, and He'll overcome our darkness
Until our little candle, the reminder of His light
Comes inside, comes inside, comes inside (3x)

Chorus

Jesus, your heart is a portion for

Jesus, your love is the reason for

Jesus, you have spoken for

our brokenness, our selfishness

our loneliness, in loving confidence

We are yours.

We are yours. (3x)

Our lives are yours.

This I vow, in the hovel of His heart
This I bow, oh God, remove, impart
We are yours.

*He changed this line to: "We will rest here in the arms of our Father"
