High Noon...

Have you ever heard a song that sang to your heart... no it sang the song of your heart?  Ever since I heard Andrew Peterson's "High Noon" I knew that it was my heart's song.  It's the one song that makes me want to find a cure for tone deafness and pitchless-ness  (trust me it's a word, at least in this blog!).  I have visions of singing it for special music on Easter morning.  It would be a truly inspiring duet with my uber talented hubs.  The kind of performance that would have people crying out to Jesus!

Ok, maybe it would just bless the hearts of those in attendance like it does mine.

I've tried multiple times to convince Ben that he should sing it solo at church, but he's not exactly on board.

I assume that most of you have never heard this song and I tried to find a link to it on youtube.com and didn't have any success... at least not sung by Andrew Peterson.

So I will have to leave the lyrics here and leave it up to the rest of you to encourage hubs to sing it at church:

High Noon by Andrew Peterson

High noon in the valley of the shadow
When the deep of the valley was bright
When the mouth of the tomb
Shouted, "Glory, the Groom is alive"
So long, you wages of sin
Go on, don't you come back again
I've been raised and redeemed
You've lost all your sting
To the victor of the battle
At high noon in the valley
In the valley of the shadow

Now the demons, they danced in the darkness
When that last ragged breath left his lungs
And they reveled and howled
At the war that they thought they had won
But then, in the dark of the grave
The stone rolled away
In the still of the dawn on the greatest of days

High noon in the valley of the shadow
When the shadows were shot through with light
When Jesus took in that breath
And shattered all Death with his life
So long, you wages of sin
Go on, don't you come back again
I've been raised and redeemed
You've lost all your sting
To the victor of the battle
High noon in the valley of the shadow

Let the people rejoice
Let the heavens resound
Let the name of Jesus, who sought us
And freed us forever ring out
All praise to the fighter of the night
Who rides on the light
Whose gun is the grace of the God of the sky

High noon in the valley of the shadow
When the shadows were shot through with light
When the mouth of the tomb
Shouted, "Glory, the Groom is alive"
So long, you wages of sin
I said go on, don't you come back again
I've been raised and redeemed
All praise to the king
The victor of the battle
High noon in the valley
In the valley of the shadow
