Description: Psalm 32 and Psalm 14 inspired the words to this song. Written out of a place of feeling distant from God and not knowing how to talk to Him or what to say.

lyrics

Bones
(After Psalm 32 & Psalm 14)

Still, my body, like an empty drum
What would you do to untie my tongue?
In my silence, I will waste away
Your hand is heavy in the heat of day

Shake these bones
Awake these bones
They are part of the body
So take these bones and breathe them to life

In her heart the fool says there’s no God
In all the work she does is there no good?
For empty words from hardened hearts are lies
Lord have mercy on those who would deny

Amazing grace, awake my soul
I stood in wrath, but now I know
by grace I lay me at your throne and sing!

Shake these bones
Awake these bones
They are part of the body
So take these bones and breathe them to life

After Osmosis EP
by After Osmosis

I'm swept into the nuance of noise, tone, tension and release, in this post-rock narrative. Intuitively arranged, superbly mixed. My only complaint is that there aren't more tracks to enjoy! Caitelen
