Rebel Heart
Everybody’s salvation experience is different. This song is about mine.
Lyrics:
There’s an emptiness that fills the night,
From last call to morning light.
And a still small voice in an aching head
Just me and my demons in this empty bed.
The songs I play, the words I write,
resisting truth with noise tonight
At 3am when sleep is rare
There’s nowhere to hide
That quiet voice — it won’t let go,
In the darkness, I’ve come to know.
Soft as thunder, it stands apart
That quiet voice in my rebel heart.
Not in the crowd, not in the fight,
but in the hush before the light.
can’t run away, can’t turn Him down,
He’s there (always there)
Not in the storm, not in the flame,
But in the quiet I hear my name
The hands that reach the love that seeks
This rebel heart
I feared the light, I fought the calm,
And filled the void with another song.
But in that night I bowed my knee
Surrendering finally
That quiet voice — it won’t let go,
In the darkness, I’ve come to know.
Soft as thunder, it stands apart
That quiet voice in my rebel heart.
