LETRAS: ASCEND THE HILL

Quem acompanha o blog há algum tempo conhece a admiração que tenho pela música desses caras. Como o blog traz muitas bandas que ainda são pouco conhecidas pelas "massas", encontrar as letras das músicas não é uma tarefa tão fácil. 

Como já trouxe uma postagem com as letras do CD Love Riot do Worth Dying For, farei desse Tema, LETRAS, um Post Semanal, assim como o CLIPE DA SEMANA, HUMOR, REFLEXÃO e DVD DA SEMANA. Aos poucos vou organizando o blog de forma que todos os dias ele seja atualizado, mas não caia o nível de qualidade. 

Essas letras são do 1º álbum, auto-intitulado, do Ascend The Hill. Álbum de Primeirissima qualidade que consegue passar uma unção muito forte, a intimidade dos caras com Deus é notável. Minhas canções preferidas são: TODAS...rsrs

Quando eu ouço um CD, principalmente quando é de uma língua estrangeira, a 1ª coisa que me chama a atenção são os arranjos, a melodia. Muitas vezes por preguiça ou por realmente não encontrar as letras, deixo passar a letra meio despercebida; algumas bandas como Hillsong e Planetshakers, tem letras muito acessíveis que só pela audição já se consegue entender a mensagem; mas pra quem não é tão bom no Inglês assim, a letra da música é  imprescindivel tanto para aprender a cantar quanto para fazer a tradução.

SING

This we know, the Lord is God and we are Yours, we are your own
We understand, we know the truth, You made us Yours, we’re Yours alone
So we enter in Your gates with thanksgiving

For You are good and Your mercy will defend
Your loving kindness lasts, it knows no end
And I sing, I sing, I sing of your faithfulness, I sing of your truth again

We make a joyful noise to You,
to You oh Lord our praise is due
And with this song we bring You now,
our heart’s desire to sing it loud
So we come today, into Your courts singing praise
Into Your gates with thanksgiving
Into Your courts we’re singing praise


SPEND IT ALL

I open up my eyes oh Lord, to see all the things You’ve done
I open up my heart oh God, to feel Your unfailing love
I open up my all to You, all my life for Your glory shown
I open up my soul to You alone, come make yourself at home

And I’ll give all I have left to give
Cause it’s everything I am, Lord
And this life I’ll spend it all for You
I’ll waste it all on You
I offer up my mind to You, I long for the truth You know
I offer up my feet to You, they’ll walk straight on the path You show
I offer up my time to You, so keep me and hold me still
I offer up my hands to You, Lord use them to do Your will
 

Let Your Spirit take me over God,
Cause it’s all I’ll ever need, yeah You’re all I’ll ever need Lord
Receive this life an offering God
Cause I’ve spent it all on You, yeah I’ll spend it all on You God



JOY

Fill us with Your love til we’re bursting at the seams
Overflow us with Your life and the joy that it brings
And we’ll lose ourselves
Oh we’ll lose ourselves in You
Break the chains from our feet
so we’ll be dancing once again
Bring freedom to our hearts and
we will never be the same
Oh we’ll lose ourselves
Yeah we’ll lose ourselves in You
’Cause we can’t contain such joy
We can’t contain it, we celebrateIt’s joy unspeakable and full of glory
It’s joy unspeakable and it’s overflowing

Anoint our heads with the oil of Your joy
Holy Spirit come every burden to destroy
And we’ll lose ourselves
Oh we’ll lose ourselves in You
Give us beauty for ashes and gladness for mourning
Agarment of praise, for Your love is enduring
We’ve lost ourselves
Yeah we’ve lost ourselves in You
Cause we can’t contain such joy
We can’t contain it, we celebrate
It’s joy unspeakable and full of glory
It’s joy unspeakable and it’s overflowing
We can’t contain this joy



LOVE

Let we who call ourselves Yours
Let we who love Your name
exalt in You, take refuge in You
And from here our sheltered place,
we’re lifting our hands
God we want Your embrace, yes we do
Oh God, we only want You!
Woah woah oh oh we love You, we love You, Lord
Woah woah oh oh we love You, we love You, Lord
Woah woah oh oh we love You, we love You, Lord

Now with our hands and our hearts lifted high
This is our cry, we are Your Church, we’re Your Bride
It’s more than offering, it’s more than sacrifice
This is love with all our hearts, with all understanding
Alove that’s resounding with all of strength
With everything that we are
Woah woah oh oh we love You, we love You, Lord
Woah woah oh oh we love You, we love You, Lord
Woah woah oh oh we love You, we love You, Lord


We’re so in love with You, we’re so in love with You
We’re so in love with You we can’t contain it
We can’t contain it, no

FALL

Sometimes this world seems bigger than it is
And I just can’t help but see it this way
And I know You’re telling me
to cast my cares aside 

and you know I try

But these walls I’ve built just
won’t let me see You
And these walls I’ve built just
won’t let me hear You
And these walls are just walls I’ve built between You and me
If I could see You, if I could hear You
Then I’d know I need You just as before
Cause I’ve barricaded these tendencies
My selfish pride, these things inside,
they always get the best of me
Show me love, teach me truth,
break my heart and bring me back to You
Take these dreams, this is me, all I am here at Your feet
Take me as I am, with You I want to be
Of all this world it’s you I wanna see

So I’m here on my knees, Oh God
I need only to see Your face again
I need only to hear Your voice again

I have only all I am, all I am
And all I am is all I have in You
 

So I fall
on my knees again
 

These walls are just I’ve built between You and me
I fall on my knees again

 

COME LIKE YOU PROMISED

Come Lord like you promised
Just like You said you would
Do not delay
Come with healing in Your touch
Come with fire in Your eyes
Just like You said you would
Come with grace and mercy
Come with judgement and might
Just like You said you would
Come riding on the wind
Through clouds of glory pierce the sky
Just like You said you would
Come and bring us back again
Lord come restore Your Bride
Just like You said you would



RETURN TO US

Return to us once again great God
We burn for You, we yearn for You Lord
And light a fire inside out hearts great God
And we will burn for You, we will yearn for You Lord
We come together with one voice lifted up to You our king
This song to You we sing
We’re gathered in sacred assembly
Yes we are ready to see You once again
And now we bring our hearts to You alone
In consecration, in expectation
Our God is merciful and gracious
He will hear our prayer
He will hear our prayer
Return to us once again great God
We burn for You, we yearn for You Lord
And light a fire inside our hearts great God
And we will burn for You, we will yearn for You Lord
We return to You, return to us again
Your fire in us anew



WIND OF GOD
Wind of God come blow up on us
Breath of God come breathe within us now
Within us now
Spirit of God come fall upon us
Like a fire, rise within us now
Within us now
Love of God come fall upon us
Like a blanket, wrap around us now
Around us now



AWAKE

I see You in the simplest things
and I feel You in me
I know You from the words you speak
but I find You on my knees
And get caught up in the mystery
Still I refuse to miss the forest for the trees
So come reveal Your heart for all to see

The beauty and the majesty

Awake, awake my soul to the Son
And sing praises to the holy one
His name is Jesus, He has saved us
And given us His Spirit for the day
We’ll sing praises Your name, Jesus
Your breath’s becoming life to me
And with each breath I am set free
Your spirit fills, I breathe you deep
And I know You see
that Your life brings forth a song to sing
The only gift I have to bring
And I get swept up in the melody

In worship to You my king
Sing praises (Hallelujah) to the holy one
Sing praises (Hallelujah) to Your name



THE REFORM

I open my eyes to the breathtaking 

splendor of brand new skies
I come alive
Heart pounding
Voice resounding
This is the sound of my rebounding
Coming back again
A creator’s brand I bare
And forfeit the scars of a love to share
This is the sound of foundations shaking
history in the making
This is reformation
This is love overtaking
This is the sound of redemption
This is here
This is now
This is love overtaking me



BLOW ME AWAY
Where Your glory is I wanna be
Where Your beauty is I wanna see
Where Your scars are born I’ll lay a kiss
’Cause it’s your presence, Lord, that I miss
 

You blow me away

 
You’re beautiful, You’re wonderful, You’re glorious you are
So marvelous, so majestic, so powerful you are
