Living Against the Voices
Jesus needs to be our captain

“We subsequently ignore critical questions like: What is wholeness? Who is whole? Who decides when we get there? Like a ship without a course or a compass, we venture out for the ultimate destination with only a trial-and-error strategy. We try this vitamin, that yoga or the other therapeutic treatment. We talk to each other to find out what someone else has tried and what route seems most promising. We hope, eventually, the wind and waves will point us on the perfect course. Unfortunately, this sea before us is immense and confusion abounds. We’re more likely to drift into a perfect storm than a safe harbor. What we need is a trustworthy captain and a reliable compass.”

This is from the book I am currently reading by Mark Foreman called Wholly Jesus

Switchfoot - “Restless”

“Restless” is the first single off of Vice Verses that was released to CCM stations (whereas “Dark Horses” was released to mainstream radio). It doesn’t look like it’ll be available to purchase as a single, but here’s an HQ recording of the song being played on a radio station. Bring tissues!

Lyrics:

I am the sea on a moonless night
Calling falling, slipping tides
I am the leaky, dripping pipes
The endless, aching drops of lights

I am the raindrop falling down
Always longing for the deeper ground
I am the broken, breaking seas
Even my blood finds ways to bleed

Even the rivers ways to run
Even the rain to reach the sun
Even my thirsty streams
Even in my dreams

I am restless
I am restless
I am restless
I’m looking for you

I am restless
I run like the ocean to find your shore
I’m looking for you

I am the thorn stuck in your side
I am the one that you left behind
I am the dried up doubting eyes
Looking for the well that won’t run dry

Running for the other side
The world that I’ve always been denied
Running hard for the infinite
With the tears of saints and hypocrites

Oh, blood of black and white and grey
Oh, death in life and night in day
One by one by one
We let our rivers run

I am restless
I am restless
I’m looking for you

I am restless
I run like the ocean to find your shore
I’m looking for you

I can hear you breathing
I can feel you leading
More than just a feeling

I can feel you reaching
Pushing through the ceiling
Till the final healing
I’m looking for you

Until the sea of glass we meet
At last completed and complete
Where tide and tear and pain subside
And laughter drinks them dry

I’ll be waiting
Anticipating
All that I aim for
What I was made for

With every heartbeat
All of my blood bleeds
Running inside me
I’m looking for you
