  • Derek Webb - Ten Thousand Angels

    January 12th, 2008 · 2 Comments

    I have long been admirer of Derek Webb and his music. I had some stuff to say here, and even made a presentation to go with one of his songs.

    One of his most recent songs, with Caedmon’s Call, was featured the other night on Grey’s Anatomy (not originally their song). I didn’t see the show, but was able to check out the song and I have probably listened to it 30 times since then. I think it’s amazing and thought I’d share it with you.

    Here are the lyrics.

    how long you have traveled in darkness weeping
    no rest in language, no words to speak
    but there in the wreckage beneath bricks and bindings
    love has come, love has come for you

    against the night sky of your waiting
    your face is like starlight when he walks in
    everything worth keeping comes through dying
    love has come, love has come for you

    so lift up your heart now, to this unfolding
    all that has been broken will be restored
    here runs deep waters for all who are thirsty
    love has come, love has come for you

    ten thousand angels will light your pathway
    until the day breaks fully in the East
    they will surround you and make your way straight
    love has come, love has come for you
    love has come, love has come for you
