Good Song Sunday–Love Don’t Leave Me Alone

February 8, 2011 in Good Song Sunday, video by The Blackthorn Project | Permalink

Hey look! It worked! We didn’t post this on Sunday, though we tried to. For some reason, it was just today–Tuesday–that YouTube decided to let the video show up.

We’re continuing in the Good Song Sunday tradition this year, and you can look forward to a new video every first Sunday of the month. So even though we’re technically two days late this month, we’re excited to roll out February’s Good Song Sunday!

LOVE DON’T LEAVE ME ALONE

Clap your hands, raise up your voices
Beat your drums, get out your guitars
We love the Lord, He loved us first
So stomp on the floor and rattle the earth

Love don’t leave me alone (love don’t leave me alone)

He opened his mouth, out came the heavens
And the moon and the stars that go on forever
He opened his hand, out came the earth
Rain for the rivers and food from the dirt

Love don’t leave me alone (love don’t leave me alone)

Our road has been long, our minds full of worry
Our road has been long, our minds full of worry
Our road has been long, our minds full of worry
But he won’t forget no one who hopes in his mercy

Love don’t leave me alone (love don’t leave me alone)
from Reckless

Reckless CD Release! Nov 13 Colorado Springs

October 26, 2010 in Uncategorized by The Blackthorn Project | 1 comment

Nasty harmonica and rattley strings will accompany you wailing the blues in “Love Don’t Leave Me Alone” with the rest of the audience. We’ll all get our barnyard yelling, white boy clapping, and funky dancing on for “Mud Song,” and our new “Be Thou My Vision” will make the air thick. If you don’t know what that means, you’ll need to experience it. If you come to one acoustic show this year, make it this one, people!

Yes, please mark your calendar now to join us. The ridiculously talented Barry Patterson will open with a singer/songwriter set from his new album 7000 miles.

The Blackthorn Project will then play songs from Reckless, with Steve Holley manning the upright bass.

We know you’ll want to bring home our new CD, so we’ve made it the show very inexpensive (especially if you buy a ticket now–see below). So it would mean the world to us if you would retweet, like, forward, or use your God-given voice to invite a friend or two who you think would enjoy our music. See you soon!

Good Song Sunday–Whisper Your Love

Oh yes. Another Good Song Sunday is here. Enjoy.

You can add this song to your permanent music collection here: music.theblackthornproject.com

Whisper Your Love
When I’m small
When I’m helpless
When I’m scared to leave the place where I hide
When my head is loud
but full of nothing
Oh how I need the sound of your voice

Every time I cry
help me remember

Your love is so great you lift up my heavy heart
You break off the ropes that burn my skin
Your love is so great you set me in open fields
You whisper your love, you whisper your love

When I’m small
When I’m helpless
When I’ve believed all the lies I’ve been told
When I’m tangled up in lesser loves
Oh how I need the strength of your touch

Every time I cry
help me remember
