Letters, by Stellar Kart

I recently discovered how fully amazing Stellar Kart is. They're a wonderful band, and their songs are just awesome! This one has been running through my head for an hour or two. They don't say who the song's written to. It could very well be a soldier to his sweetheart back home. But I don't think so. It's a song sung by a servant to his master; a child to a father; a bride to the awaiting bridegroom. It's our song to Christ, and it's so encouraging to me. How easily we forget the many letters God's written to us! With promises, and hope, and love- and how it breaks His heart when we do forget.

I hope never to forget.

Here's the song:

Far from home, You find me
Amidst the lost and dying
Nothing's fair in love and war
Worlds apart in desperation
Please erase this separation
Only You are worth fighting for

'Cause there's love in every letter written
A hope that gets me through the day
Forever's never too long to wait

Someday soon we'll be together
Where a moment lasts forever
And our love shines brighter than the stars
Until then I will remember
Every word and every letter
The promises You've written on my heart,
On my heart!

I see the darkness blinding
All that's left are my dreams
To save me from the night
Your words of hope remind me
Somewhere the sun is shining
Don't give up the fight


'Cause there's love in every letter written
A hope that gets me through the day
Forever's never too long to wait


Someday soon we'll be together
Where a moment lasts forever
And our love shines brighter than the stars
Until then I will remember
Every word and every letter
The promises You've written on my heart,
On my heart!

Isn't it beautiful? It's so pretty with the music; there's such a gorgeous drumbeat that sounds like a battle march. . .
