Subtle Shiver

Here's a song I have been listening to a lot lately. It is on the Steve Bell "Sons and Daughters" CD. I love how it is such a simple song, but such a neat description of experiencing God. And such a pretty song too! If you get a chance, take a listen to it!

subtle shiver
Diana Pops

as i walk through this field in the fall time
leaves become a red carpet as i pass by
don't know why but the world's in its prime right now
as i walk the prairie skies are vacant
pick up stones the river hasn't taken
the firefly that danced with the frost silently dies

i hear traces of old familiar songs
the cold wind blowing helps to rush me along
and here i found you in your glory
on this cold october morning
in this clearing by the river
i felt a subtle shiver
and i know you waited for me

every wave of the water is dancing
looks as though the summer never happened
the tress o'er my head sway as the sky starts to blaze
i never thought that you'd give to me a love song
never saw it's been here all along
i close my eyes to cover a tear
that's made it down my cheek and now i hear
your voice it speaks so soft and clear . . .
you've seen me everywhere

and i hear traces of old familiar songs
the cold wind blowing helps to rush me along
and here i found you in your glory
on this cold october morning
in this clearing by the river
i felt a subtle shiver
and i know you waited for me

Good morning Jilly,
I love reading your thoughts. I can't wait to get home and listen to this song again. This is a season of subtle (and not so subtle) shivers and it is so good to remember the one who has given us all things. Enjoy the snow that Waterloo has. Christmas is coming! Less than four weeks until you are home. Can't wait!
Love, mom xoxoxo
