lyrics

There’s green between the cracks in the broken ground below.
I hear the slightest tap on the window of my soul.
You set my sorrow to a song You wrote,
while a thin light, it follows anywhere I go.
There’s no hell that you’ve known that I have not walked through before.
There’s no hill that you’ve climbed that I have not died on before.
There’s no one on this earth not worth the blood that was outpoured
from My side, the same side where mercy’s reign is born,
Oh, what more can love do than this?
One shining victory in the eyes of this old place
is miles from the tree and not sweet beyond the taste.
So much straw before Your majesty,
and I stole from this glory, yet You gave it back to me.
Come through the door that I leave open,
made from the same wood that death did die upon.
Come to the truth that has been spoken,
made from the same Word the sun did rise upon.

about

Miriam Marston Portland, Oregon

I started composing when I was 10. I called one of my first songs "Nostalgia", although I can't recall what my ten year old self was so nostalgic about. Released my first album in 2000. Things got busy, but I never stopped writing. Even if it meant composing on a mostly-broken piano in the basement of a university that I wasn't even enrolled in. Enjoy all the music and reading! Pax.
