A couple of weeks ago, Michael and I went to World Cafe Live to see Red Horse (Lucky Kaplansky, John Gorka and Eliza Gilkyson). Lucy sang this song of Eliza's and I thought it was not only exceptionally beautiful, but also exceptionally honest (and revealing), so I thought I'd share it with you as a Friday Favorite.
Sanctuary by Eliza Gilkyson
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow thou art with me
though my heart's been torn on fields of battle thou art with me
though my trust is gone and my faith not near
in love's sanctuary thou art with me
Through desolation's fire and fear's dark thunder thou art with me
through the sea of desires that drag me under thou art with me
though I've been traded in like a souvenir
on love's sanctuary thou art with me
Through the doubter's gloom and the cynic's sneer thou art with me
in the crowded rooms of a mind unclear thou art with me
though I'll walk for a while down a trail of tears
in love's sanctuary thou art with me
Does this song speak to you, too?
