bathe you in hope, wrap you in wholeness, feed you peace

So this girl named Emily Pond Ricks came to my family's house a couple years ago to give a fireside.  She sat down at the piano and sang gospel messages to us through songs that she'd written; they were beautiful!  

Here's a lil' taste:  Nevermind, I can't find them on Youtube haha.  But she is on iTunes!  

[Sorry, you're gonna have to exert a little energy in your fingertips and do a couple extra clicks]

One of my favorite songs of hers is called If I Could.  She has such a way with words--this song perfectly describes how I feel about someone.  I'm sure a lot of you have someone this reminds you of, too.  Read carefully... Man, I could never express these feelings as well as she does!  It's so inspiring:

If I Could

Emily Pond Ricks

Well Hi

Oh hey I know it's really late

I said well yeah but

I'm here anytime

I'll always answer when it's you

And then you told me the unthinkable

My chest got choked and 

I wished that none of it were true

Talk to you later

That's when I fell apart

Collapsed to my knees 

And tried to breath

Crying

Pleading

I wish that I could give you 

What you really need

And if I could

I'd bathe you in hope

I'd wrap you in wholeness and feed you peace

And if I could

I'd sweep away every doubt

And wipe up the confusion

And wring out disbelief

Oh, I'd run to you

Tonight

Make your demons cower in the light

If I could

Spinning

Searching through a thousand words

Just trying to find a way to catch you

Just in case you drop

Your whole life is bleeding

And all the world's bandaids

Can't seem to make it stop

And if I could

I'd bathe you in hope

I'd wrap you in wholeness and feed you peace

And if I could

I'd sweep away every doubt

And wipe up the confusion

And wring out disbelief

Oh, I'd run to you

Tonight

Make your demons cower in the light

If I could

But He can

He can bathe you in hope

He can wrap you in wholeness and feed you peace

I know He can

He can sweep away every doubt

And wipe up this confusion

And wring out disbelief

And I pray He'll run to you

Tonight

Make your demons cower

Cause He is the Light

If I could
