Slaying Goliath Music Blog – Update

January 29, 2023 slayinggoliathmusicblog Leave a comment

Hello, God’s Creatures,

I know I haven’t visited or uploaded to this blog in a while, but I wanted to give you guys an update on what has been happening since I stopped posting on this.

This blog takes a lot of time and a lot o energy to upkeep. I was searching high and low for music from all around the world so we can come together as a collective to worship God despite having language barriers. I love the church body, regardless of where you reside, and I wanted music and worship to be a part of that. I enjoy searching for the different artists that I showcased. However, I do apologize for not asking for their permission to post on this site as well as on my YouTube channel.

After maintaining this blog for some time, I got discouraged by the lack of support I felt from mainly my friends and family, but people have been expressing how I need to restart this again and see what it turns into. So, I am hoping it turns into a community that comes together. I am hoping I can start multiple Spotify playlists organized by genre, maybe a podcast with different hosts, music interviews, concerts exclusive, etc. I am dreaming with God and being faithful to this.

Most of the comments were to put a face to this blog, but right now, I don’t feel like this like God is moving me in that direction just yet. My desire is still to make this a worship community that travels across nations and genres. I don’t want to only explore music as a form of worship but it will be one of the foundations of something I am so passionate about.

Which is you will see me, in my free time, updating this blog website, and making the necessary updated changes. So, I do request that you be patient with me with all of this.

I love Jesus and I want this to be something where we can have honest music that explores our doubts, hardships, joys, victories, disappointments, and accomplishments. My goal is to give this blog life again.

I don’t know where this blog is going to go but I am trusting and partnering with God to find out.

Thank you all for being here and posting will commence on February 1^st.

Thank you for being here.

Micah Bournes (ft. Ethan Butler) — As We…

✞Lyrics:

They say time is a healer,
but the clock has been ticking for years and I’m still broken.
After walking with a limp for so long I’ve grown fond of it.
It makes me hip, ya know.
People wanna know what’s wrong, what happened, why I’m like this.
And I’m not bitter but I gotta answer their questions
so I tell ’em, I tell ’em what you did to me, I tell ’em how it still hurts,
I tell ’em how much I’ve had to overcome and ya know what?
They love me, they love me like you didn’t, they tell me I was right,
I was a victim.
Even though I already know that it’s nice to hear every once in a while.
I gotta remember I didn’t do this to myself.
I gotta know it’s okay to be like this.
It’s not my fault.
I don’t have a choice.
It’s not my fault.
Why are you staring?
Have you heard my story?
You wanna know why I’m like this?
Okay if you insist I guess I can tell you but it’s
kinda hard to explain without giving you the whole story see…

And I can’t find the words to say
sweat drippin’ heart racin’ trying to explain
that I’m broken, I’m broken
and I’m scared, I’m bitter
and forgiveness is like
breaking down the walls that I’m holing up
so I give up
and I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine (woah)
and I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine

And some people say get over it.
Let it go, like I can just unclench my fist and release.
Like I’m not reminded by every other thing I see.
It feels like a sick joke, like the whole world is taunting me.
Conversations and images cause my heart to connect the dots
back to memories I wish to forget.
And people will never understand why I flip at the sight of Christmas lights.
And I’ve tried to forgive you but I don’t know what forgiveness is besides
some theoretical decision to pardon your sins and never speak with you again.
You may be forgiven but I’m still broken, I’m still broken.
And I’ve sought counsel and they tell me It’s okay to be broken but no it’s not.
I wanna be whole.
I wanna be whole.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name
thy kingdom come, thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses…
as we…
for… forgive us our trespasses…
as we…
a, as, as we…
forgive u, forgive us our tre…
as we…

I can’t find the words
I can’t find the words
I, I, I, I, I,
I I, I, I, I.

✞Lyrics:

I remember when I was young
I was fickle you were so strong
I remember trees as they called your name
Mother told me listen up close
There’s a story they have composed
Look how they’re clapping arms are a swaying high

Do you remember back on that day
When the trees swayed in the same way
How the clouds hung low over kings and thieves
How your mother stayed by your side
Watch the curtain tear in your eyes
All the heavy hearts could’ve cracked the ground

The beats of hammers felt like drums of war
Killed for the words you swore

From the belly of the deepest love,
The hills trembling throats sing hallelujah
Like the flowers on a dogwood tree
blush with blame you took for me

Oh how you wish to be with me
Oh how you wish to be with me

Do you remember seeing the man
covered by the same blood he damned
Join the song with the sky in the darkest hour
I need something to hold on to
Stronger than the iron that held you
Louder than the roar of the crowd that day

The beats of hammers felt like drums of war
Killed for the words you swore

From the belly of the deepest love,
The hills trembling throats sing hallelujah
Like the flowers on a dogwood tree
blush with blame you took for me

Oh how you wish to be with me
Oh how you wish to be with me

I tried to get to you
But you came to me instead

With the dawn
The grave is gone
Oh how you wish to be with me

Lyrics:

[Chorus:]
Tell me what can I do
Cause I can’t live without
I can’t live without you
[Repeat 3x]

[Verse 1:]
So here’s my heart.
Here’s my mind
I give you my soul
Need you to take control

Cause I’ve tried it
Tried it on my own but
what I found is
I can’t make it

[Bridge:]
on my own
on my own

I can’t make it
I can’t make it

on my own
on my own

I can’t make it
I can’t make it

[Chorus:]
Tell me what can I do
Cause I can’t live without
I can’t live without you

on my own
on my own

I can’t make it
I can’t make it

on my own
on my own

I can’t make it
I can’t make it

[Chorus:]
Tell me what can I do
Cause I can’t live without
I can’t live without you

[Vamp:]
Oooh. Ooooh. Ooooh. Ooooh.
Oooh. Ooooh. Ooooh. Ooooh.
Oooh. Ooooh. Ooooh. Ooooh.
Oooh. Ooooh. Ooooh. Ooooh.

I can’t walk without you
I can’t talk without you
I can’t sing without you
I’m nothing without you

I can’t live without you
I can’t breath without you
I can’t be without you
There’s no me without you

I can’t walk without you
I can’t talk without you
I can’t sing without you
I’m nothing without you

I can’t live without you
I can’t breath without you
I can’t be without you
There’s no me without you

Tell me what can I do
Cause I can’t live without
I can’t live without you

Lyrics:

You are good even when my heart fails
Even though my eyes may stray, Your love never will
All I need is a greater view of You
I only want to breathe in, so I can breathe out Your truth

I’m running back to Your grace
Its been a long time since I thought of Your name
Though when my world starts to fall
I hear Your voice call–out my name
And bring me home again

Ooooo wooo whooo oooo wooo whoo

I’ve been dancing with all of my faults
Lately, they have been the idols of my heart
A mirror image of You I failed to be
Take out the darkness so Your light is what I’ll see

I’m running back to Your grace
Its been a long time since I thought of Your name
Though when my world starts to fall
I hear Your voice call out my name
And bring me home again

Ooooo wooo whooo oooo wooo whoo

Lyrics:

I saw His eyes after they bound Him
I saw the blood drops on the courtyard
The highest priests and men of the law
Began to call forth the false witnesses

They questioned Him, He gave no answer
Could He not see these men could free Him?
They struck his face, no, that’s too poetic
They punched Him till their fringes were covered in blood

(Prophecy, Prophecy)

My stomach turned to rot
Why didn’t He stay down?
Why didn’t He defend Himself?
I was helpless like my sweet Jesus
The more they struck His face
The more it seemed that He had won

The morning sun, the sound of roosters
As Jesus stared right through the government
I saw His eyes amidst this pageant
Not filled with fear, but more like pity

He spoke few words, choosing them wisely
It seemed like calculated suicide
The water splashed out of the basin
As all the crowd converged and screamed aloud

(Crucify! Crucify!)

Carries His cross, falls on His face, back on His feet
(Dust in His wounds, Dirt in His eyes)

The nails, the nails, the nails
NO! NO! NO!
