They shall see the glory of the LORD, the majesty of our God. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. “The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing.
So here we go: “Hold tight, you’re slowly coming back to life.” – Birdy, “Keeping Your Head Up” lyrics And one of those cross references led me Hosea, which led me to Hebrews, which led me to Isaiah, which is absolutely AMAZING and perfect to go with the lyrics of “Keeping Your Head Up.” Because in one of my Bibles there are cross-references for different phrases and things to point you to other verses and passages with similar ideas and themes (if you don’t have a Bible with cross-references, 10/10 would recommend).

The truth I’m about to share is something that I desperately needed to hear today. Seriously this song is SO BEAUTIFUL even just at the ground level, but what happens when God’s voice takes the place of Birdy’s? The Vertical View: Unshakeable hope and inimitable promises She promises to be there for them, to hold them close until the storm passes and they can breathe on their own. In this song, Birdy the singer is talking to someone she loves who has experienced a crisis of some kind. I always like to start these posts with some thoughts on the original, human-talking-to-a-human perspective. The Horizontal View: Support in the midst of a crisis
