The Time Is Now, Surrender - Debby Boone

 유명한 팝 가수인 팻 분의 딸이고

You Light Up My Life라는 곡으로 일약 스타덤에 오르긴 했지만

팝 가수보다는 가스펠 가수로 활동해왔습니다.

You Light Up My Life는 동명인 영화의 주제곡이자

자신의 신앙고백을 담은 노래이기도 합니다.

 

아래의 두 곡은 각각 85, 83년에 발매된 앨범에 수록된 곡입니다.

두번째 곡은 20여년 전에 카세트 테이프로 구입해 들으면서

많은 은혜를 받았던 곡입니다.

 

 

The time is now
Receive it all
An inheritance of favor from the King
His reward is grand
It's with Him in His hand
For all who reach to hold it, it is there
Wholeness in every way
It's happening today
He's here to do what He came to do

If we allow Him to

 

He is the savior, healer, deliverer, redeemer
Counselor, refiner, Jesus, messiah now

The time is now
His love is here
To work a total transformation in your soul
To swallow every care
His supply is there
For strength to hope and power to be changed
To see the captives freed
Provide for every need
He's here to give what He came to give

If we allow Him to

 

He is the savior, healer, deliverer, redeemer
Counselor, refiner, Jesus, messiah

He says, If you come to Me I'll run, not walk, to you
Give Me a heart that's faithful and watch what I will do
I'm able to accomplish it according to My Word
You just wait on Me and see

The time is now
To celebrate
And thank Him for His resurrection life
That he came to revive
Every dream that died
And set in motion all that's standing still
Invite His presence in
Ask Him to begin
He's here to be what He came to be

If we allow Him to

 

He is the savior, healer, deliverer, redeemer
Counselor, refiner, Jesus, messiah,
 Helper, restorer, builder, rewarder
 The giver of life is here
Receive Him now!

 

 

 

 

Like the song in the wind

Lord you called me again

Surrender

And I find myself drawn to your voice

As I lean to the choice

Surrender

 

Like the echoing sound of the sea

Lord you echo in me

Surrender

 

Like a dancer I'll follow again

To the music within

Surrender

 

For the freedom I seek

Is the word that you speak

Running deep as a song of my soul

To be totally sure and totally yours and totally...Surrender

 

Like the song of the rain

You repeat the refrain

Surrender

 

And I know that your music is mine

And I follow in time

Surrender

 

For the freedom I seek

Is the word that you speak

Running deep as a song of my soul

To be totally sure and totally yours and totally...Surrender

 

Like the song in the wind

Lord you called me again

Surrender

 

And at last I can soar like a bird

On the wings of the word

Surrender
