One sister shared how a song helped her and her family to get through a hardship that left a sibling paralyzed. Another said she didn't grow up with instruments but she learned to appreciate natures music with the birds chirping and the sound of a creek flowing. it was a night of sitting and listening with such content to each piece each sister played or sung.
I wanted to share the song that has lifted me up today. Music has been in my life always and i really don't have one song that i lean on to. it seems that with each new season of my life and new understanding there is a new song to help express or support how i feel..
(the paper i handed out to the sisters last night)
“I Will Wait”
Mumford And Sons
I feel that the only way to understand how this song has uplifted me and touched my heart is to listen and not listen to me....so here it is laid out and you can follow along....
at first for me this song came off as a humbled man bowing himself to his queen...letting her know how she has impacted his life on a spiritual level...then as i read online, other people took it as a man humbling himself before the Lord...
Then it clicked....“Thou shalt love thy wife with all thy heart, and shalt cleave unto her and none else” (D&C 42:22). This is the only place in scripture where the Lord asks us to love anything or anyone with all our hearts besides Himself. ~ Three Principles of Marriage: Matthew O Richardson
The reason i was understanding the song the way i did and then others understanding it the way they did is because We should lean, love, and humble ourselves towards our spouses as we do the Lord....

My perspective

Others
|
|
Well I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of dust
Which we have known
Will blow away with this new sun
|
After a long day of work he comes home and rests in his loves lap...looking forward to a new season with less struggle....
|
Coming of christ
|
|
But I'll kneel down
Wait for now
And I'll kneel down
Know my ground
|
Humbling himself and putting his queen first
|
Humbling before the Lord
|
|
{chorus}
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
|
Waiting for his love, waiting til he is able to love her the way she desires
|
Waiting for the Second coming
|
|
So break my step
And relent
Well you forgave and I won't forget
Know what we've seen
And him with less
Now in some ways
Shake the excess
|
she stops him in his tracks in his path stop him from his bad habits. she for gave his mistakes and he is grateful....seeing them go from nothing and now having enough to have extra
|
God is forgiving and we must not forget that those with less really have the inheritance
|
|
{chorus}
|
|
|
|
Now I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So tame my flesh
And fix my eyes
A tethered mind freed from the lies
|
Finding that with his mind and her heart they can conquer anything
help him overcome his weakness and helped him see a brighter world
|
so tame my flesh (lust, greed, selfish desires etc) and fix my eyes (Upon God), a tethered mind free from the lies (free from satan and a life of peace and joy)"
|
|
And I'll kneel down
Wait for now
And I'll kneel down
Know my ground
|

This is the bridge where all come together to make for an incredible ending. I always get goosebumps at this part.
|
||
|
Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
Bow my head
feel my heart slow
|
That her love is so strong and filled with the spirit she is able to humble him and for him in the end can see eternity through her love
|
praise the lord
make his spirit pure and of value
Humble and slow to listen and appreciate the Lords love
|
|
{chorus}

the reason i am touched my this song is that at first the music was incredible. The talent and passion behind the instruments you cant get from a computer alone. I have a deep appreciation for music. i have been singing and playing instruments as long as i can remember. I love how strings sound and brass is played. they move me to deepest core of my soul. right at the bridge where they all combine voice lyrics and instruments is where i get goosebumps. After hearing the music i learned the lyrics and felt instantly that this could have been written by Angel a song written about his love for his wife but also for the Lord. It is very poetic and is like a piece of art. Its ment for people to grab what they can and have it speak to them according to what they seek. The band does not like to say specifically what their songs are about but want their listeners to feel for themselves...
“Music is a beautiful and creative expression of the soul, and only a few solo artists and/or bands can really pull it off with such chemistry and fervent passion that is exuded by the four gentlemen of Mumford and Sons.”
