Josh Garrels - Songbird Lyrics






Sweet songbird singing in the morning hour
Waking me up to tell me how
Another day passes along
I love that simple song that reminds me
I'm getting closer to you

And every time thoughts tumble down
My mind is unwound
So much to say
Maybe on another day
When these words will come out right

A lesson in love is the hardest thing
You and I will ever learn
Because our hearts are so shy

And I think of you everyday
And in the night I pray
That you're safe from harm

We're walking on a thin string
But I know the Lords got the whole thing in his hands
We're strangers in this land
But together could make our way home
Make our way home
Sarnwen

The fire passed me by
The earthquakes shaking the mountain
And I let em' go

When love had left me dry
Your quiet voice broke through
To water my soul now

Oh sweet thing, she's coming round my way
Oh sweet love, what else can I say
Today

  1. J.... M....

  2. J.... T....

    often... i am upset

  3. B.... A....

    Right there where he goes,"and every time thoughts tumble down, my mind is unwound".....man, that's good. It's a great song, but boy I wish he'd do that lil progression in every verse. Good stuff, straight to what matters.

  4. H.... A....

    Lord is ba'al, when I sing this I sing Yah instead...Praise Yahuah abba Elohim the Most High Our Creator. I love this tune.

  5. D.... ....

    I keep thinking of you everyday M.

  6. D.... ....

    I think of you M...keep praying for us ... :(

    D.... ....

    Dad72hthorn I can't promise I will stay. I see no effort, but mine. Just as God's long-suffering has an end, so does mine.

    D.... ....

    I don't know if you ask me to pray for you and her, or you and me. I should NEVER have to discern the difference, since you always did try to parce words so no one could call you out. But, know that it's the heart, and God knows ALL the iniquities of it.

    D.... ....

    remnant warrior it is for me and you.

    D.... ....

    remnant warrior sadness plagues me until my life will be fixed. I do mean it when I say keep praying...God knows me and you need it. I want to cause you no suffering at all. I miss the playlist. ...it was my overall go to on here..it was very informative and inspiring.

  16. S.... J....

    share his music to people to spread the work

  17. S.... J....

    i listen to his music while i study and do school work lol

    S.... J....

    Me too lol Studying causes me anxiety, so i need this calming music

  18. S.... K....

    josh garrels' music is what kept me from leaving christianity.

    S.... K....

    +Samuel Krinitsyn shame at least you never left to Sams

    S.... K....

    Samuel Krinitsyn I know this feeling

    S.... K....

    Samuel Krinitsyn I understand what you're saying. In another sense he helps me leave modern-day fake copycat Christianity. I will never leave Jesus.
    I can't listen to most Christian radio stations right now. But, I can listen to Josh and some others that are poetic and deep. "Zion and Babylon" sums up how I feel about today's Church and the games Weplay. And, his rendition of the old song" Farther Along" should have been the original. It's relaxing & reminds me God's got everything under control, and I don't need to know everything now. I will know later.

    "For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."
    1 Corinthians 13:12 NIV
    https://bible.com/bible/111/1co.13.12.NIV

    S.... K....

    I left Christianity awhile back when I found YESHUA

    S.... K....

    Lord is ba'al. "God" deity of fortune RESEARCH He says Yahweh in another song...he's almost to truth...so close...I pray for him and his wife. Follow scriptures not man. Shalum. Much Love. the scriptures 2009 bible.com Praise Yahuah the Most High Our Creator Elohim and his Son Yahusha Messiah

  19. s.... ....

    This one's for Becca and Ken   :)

  20. K.... V....

    I was blessed to see Josh Garrels perform live twice. His and his musicians' music is excellent "go-to" music during any trials you may encounter in life. My children like his music, too, which makes me so happy! Peace and love, all.

    K.... V....

    It is amazing!

  21. A.... A....

    I have been crying and crying for the Lord's return these last past days more than ever. I've been longing for His unending presence..I was watching Jenny and Tyler videos and then came back to some of Josh Garrels's songs just now.. looked at the first set of lyrics and saw "I love that simple song that reminds me I'm getting closer to you" I cried and then looked out my window to see a little robin perched on a branch very close to my window. These birds are notable for their bright songs and are some of the very first birds to return at the end of winter. It's January in Wisconsin so winter's not over yet by far, but maybe my winter is ending. The Lord knew I needed that, and He longs for me too. So greatly loved.. would to God, that others could experience this fullness of joy and peace too. Amen.

    A.... A....

    @Alicia Allen God isn't real lmao

    A.... A....

    Hahahahahahaha

    A.... A....

    That's beautiful. God Bless sister!

    A.... A....

    Hi Alicia, I am praying for you and your precious heart, Jesus is interceding for those that are lost, let us hold fast to what He accomplished on the cross and take hold of all the crowns He has stored up for us, that we may lay them at His feet, blessing Him, Let us not grow weary but press in and on for He is the hope of glory and there are many that need to see Him in us, He laid down His life that none should be lost, give Him the weight of the burdens and carry on, we are living in the most exciting times ever. Dream with Him my sweet sister.

    A.... A....

    Those that deny God's existence, loves their sin more than they fear God, for God has written His law in every heart, He has given every man a measure of faith, our conscience bares witness in heaven, turn away from such people for they have made themselves their own god.

  22. j.... D....

    Adorei, é um som que me leva em outra dimensão.

  23. c.... e....

    É muito bom ouvir JG

  24. s.... ....

    I wish Josh could know how much he has helped me in my life, such a beautiful, spiritual soul The Lord blessed with talent that is unmatched in my opinion... Cheers

    s.... ....

    squidbully I'm sure God has shown him. Remember it's God that does the work.

  25. P.... P....

    More people need to listen to Josh Garrels. I found him on Spotify and immediately fell in love. 

  26. J.... W....

    this song is amazing. nuff said

  27. C.... ....

    What is Sarnwen? o_o

    C.... ....

    xD 
    "Make our way home, song when"

    That one part of the lyrics is odd.

    I believe it's 'somewhere"
    Lyrics sites everywhere have it as Sarnwen.

    C.... ....

    2:30
    It's a continuation of 
    "But together we'll make our way home; make our way home somewhere..."

    3:30
    Oh, sweet love, what else can I say...
    (Then repeats verse again)
    The fire passed me by, earthquake shaking the mountain...

    Also, notice at the end of a sentence he plays that riff

    C.... ....

    I am trying to find the meaning also

  28. k.... k....

    Always makes me feel better no matter what is happening !
