Albertine Lyrics

Albertine

I am sitting still
I think of Angeline
Her mother's voice over me
And the bullets and the war
Where it fell silent

And on a thousandth hill
I think of Albertine
There in her eyes
What i don't see
with my eye oh

Rwanda
Now that I have seen
I am responsible
Faith without deeds is dead
Now that I have held you
In my own arms
I cannot let go till you are...

And I am on a plane
Across a distant sea
But I carry you in me
In the dust on... the dust on... the dust on... the dust on.... the dust on....
My feet

Rwanda
Now that I have seen
I am responsible
Faith without deeds is dead
Now that I have held you
In my own arms
I cannot let go till you are...

I will tell the world
I will tell them where I've been
I will keep my word
I will tell them, Albertine

Rwanda
Now that I have seen
I am responsible
Faith without deeds is dead
Now that I have held you
In my own arms
I cannot let go till you are...

And I am on a stage
A thousand eyes on me
I will tell them, Albertine
I will tell them, Albertine

i saw her live and she said that this song was about a girl named Albertine she met while in rwanda and she promised some guy that she would write a song about the girl

I think these words are beautiful. I haven't heard the song yet but i will. 'Faith without deeds is dead.'

Cover art for Albertine lyrics by Brooke Fraser

it's more than that....now that she's such things, she feels responsible. she wants to tell the world what she has seen....

Cover art for Albertine lyrics by Brooke Fraser

=D ... it's about an orphan that changed her whole life perspective while she was in Rwanda.

this song is so powerful... she uses a lot of illustration in the verses... expresses Christian mission in the chorus, quoting James ... and I really love how strong her vocals became as she came into the bridge... then took it back down to finish the song.

she's one my favorite hillsong-ers lol
