No Water to Wash Away This Longing to Come Clean
I’m not sure exactly why, but this song really struck me today for some reason. Annie Lennox is incredible & this song off her most recent album is beautiful…
“Dark Road” by Annie Lennox
It’s a dark road and a dark way that leads to my house
And the word says you’re never gonna find me there, oh no
I’ve got an open door
It didn’t get there by itself [2x]
There’s a feelin’, but you’re not feelin’ it at all
There’s a meaning, but you’re not listening anymore
I look at that open road
I’m gonna walk there by myself
And if you catch me
I might try to run away
You know I can’t be here too long
And if you let me
I might try to make you stay
Seems you never realize a good thing ‘til it’s gone.
Maybe I’m still searchin’ but I dont know what it means
All the fires of destruction are still burnin’ in my dreams
There’s no water that can wash away this longin’ to come clean
I can’t find the joy within my soul
It’s just sadness takin’ hold
I wanna come in from the cold
And make myself renewed again
It takes strength to live this way
The same old madness every day
I wanna kick these blues away
I wanna learn to live again
It’s a dark road and a dark way that leads to my house
And the word says you’re never gonna find me there, oh no
I’ve got an open door
It didn’t get there by itself [2x]

What Are Thin Places?
"Thin Places" are rich in Celtic tradition. They are the places in our lives where the divine and the natural worlds come so close together that we can catch a glimpse of God. For the Celtics these places were very real - places within creation where we could physically go. The Thin Places in our own lives are those moments where the space between us & the Kingdom is thin, when we are introduced to a greater glimpse of Who He is through our experiences and through the stories of others.
