| Terry Reid – Brave Awakening Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
In the midst of uncertainty and no more doubt to go down to, I believe there is also a loss of spiritual faith. The optimistic spirit and faith they once owned, praised and put into their work is dying. Not only have they stopped laboring together, but they are no longer getting together to worship. It seems as if this place was powerfully bounded together by faith. However, in the later half of the song, there is some hope when this community starts to realize that the closing of coal mines might be a good thing. When Reid sings about a there being a brave awakening in the future, I can't help but compare it to the Great Awakenings. On a side note, when it says "all over the city," I can relate this song to what's happening now with the Great Recession. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. - Jeremiah 29:11 |
