Alive - Natalie Grant

I know I've explained why I post songs on here before, but I just want to say it again for anyone who doesn't know. Music is very important to me and one of the ways God speaks to me is through music. There will be times when I get in the car and the PERFECT song comes on the radio. There are times I listen to "By Your Side" by Tenth Avenue North and I know that's what God is saying to me. Other times, I don't know what to pray, and then I find a song that puts words to my prayer perfectly. I post songs not just for me, but for anyone else who may just need to hear that song.

This song came from the same album as "Broken Praise." This song is written from Mary Magdalene's perspective and it is another one where the lyrics hit my heart. The lyrics are on the video, but here are the ones that really hit me.



What kind of king
Would chose to wear a crown that bleeds and scars
To win my heart?
What kind of Love
Tells me I’m the reason He can’t stay
Inside the grave?


Who could speak,
And send the demons back from where they came
With just one Name?
What other heart
Would let itself be broken every time until He healed mine?
You. Only You.
Could turn my darkness into dawn
Running right into Your arms
