And I know You’re with me
Yes I know You’re with me here
And I know Your love will light the way

It’s that time again, ladies and gentleman, boys and girls… Clarkson20′s periodic music recommendation!
For my birthday earlier this month, I received some iTunes gift cards, so not long after that I figured I’d buy some music. I remembered that Hillsong United had come out with a new album not too long ago and I figured I’d check it out.
Normally, listening to a song preview gives me a small taste, but nothing that makes me jump out of my seat. Or, if I’m not sure it’s the right song, the preview confirms it. Anyways, one song preview from the HU album was absolutely beautiful to listen to. It’s the title track called “Aftermath.” I couldn’t wait to hear the whole song.
It’s a beautiful song that is solemn and soft and builds to a very strong bridge near the end of the song. And, this deep-voiced blogger can sing along because the high notes are minimal (always a plus).
What an amazing song. Check out the lyrics below and find the song on iTunes or YouTube to listen to it. The Hillsong United guys and gals are so talented and write such heartfelt music to glorify our Lord. Their songs are so emotionally charged. Awesome. Check it out!
“Aftermath” — Hillsong United
The skies lay low where You are
On the earth You rest Your feet
Yet the hands that cradle the stars
Are the hands that bled for me
In a moment of glorious surrender
You were broken for all the world to see
Lifted out of the ashes
I am found in the aftermath
Freedom found in Your scars
In Your grace my life redeemed
For You chose to take the sinner’s crown
As You placed Your crown on me
In that moment of glorious surrender
Was the moment You broke the chains in me
Lifted out of the ashes
I am found in the aftermath
And in that moment You opened up the heavens
To the broken the beggar and the thief
Lifted out of the wreckage
I find hope in the aftermath
And I know that You’re with me
Yes I know that You’re with me here
And I know Your love will light the way
Now all I have I count it all as loss
But to know You and to carry the cross
Knowing I’m found
In the light of the aftermath
