Have You Ever Heard of Waterdeep?

Me neither. At least until couple of days ago, that is.

I was poking around on another blog that I like to read, Making Home, and there was a quick blurb about the band. In my curiosity, I went to You Tube and searched for "Waterdeep." Within a few minutes, I came upon the a video of a guy doing a cover of one of their songs, "Hush." Check it out here.

I don't know about you, but that song spoke to me. I found that it is particularly penetrating for someone like me (one of the task-oriented Marthas of the world) because I often need to be reminded to rest in the Lord. He has already conquered death, so why am I fretting about the inconsequential things of this world.

Here are the lyrics, for some closer inspection:


Waterdeep - Hush lyrics
When you feel like the days just drone on and on and on
And you feel like the nights are quickly gone
And on the inside your heart is gaping wide
And on the inside you feel like no one's on your side
Well, I am

When you thought you could rest, but you found out you were wrong
And there's another need another battle
Another one more thing that comes along
And on the inside You hear the fall but you hate the falling sound
And on the inside You can't pick another broken piece up off the ground
Well I know

CHORUS
Hush little baby don't say a word
Daddy's gone and bought you a great big heaven to rest in
He's bought it with blood and put the seal in your heart
It'll give you the hope you need to get up and start again

When all the things you thought you left behind are still hanging on
And everything you try to do right ends up all wrong
And on the inside everyone else seems basically fine
But on the inside even they won't let go of the dead and cling to what's alive
Well I AM

I'd love to hear feedback from anyone else that connects with this song.

Blessings!
