Directly from an email she sent me- (Oh, how I relate!!!!)
The following song, Broken Yoke’s “Steal From You” really touched me in a way that no song has ever touched me before. Sure, songs may make me cry, laugh, rock out in my car; but this song made me sob all the way home from work. The lyrics tell it all; how we push God away when things are good in our lives. We cry out to him when we are hurting and beg him to help take the pain away and to guide us. Then, when things are looking up again, we push Him off to the side, only to be used for another “low” day. We basically ‘steal’ from God. I have pasted the lyrics below for you.
Steal From You
I didn’t want to
But I chose to be this way
But things are better now
And so I’m pushing you away
Cause everything is copasetic
In this state I found
The bills are paid, my life is great
I’ll see you when I’m down
Chorus:
I know I’m hanging by a thread
I grow closer to the edge
I need you to fill this space
I keep pushing you aside
Till I need you to save my life
I steal from you
Elevate me
Cause I think I’m coming down
Consecrate me
Cause I’m spinning round and round
Once again I play the victim
As I hit my knees
So desperately I call on you
In this game of hide and seek
Chorus
Can you help me
Make me real
(I steal from you)
Can you help me
Make me real
(I steal from you)
Take away this guilt I feel
(I steal from you)
Can you help me
Make me real
Chorus x2
