This is my favorite song on the album. As a 50 year old man, I relate to the words:
"Don't blink an eye, you're a young man now, but you won't always be."
Trust me, life will pass in the blink of an eye.
Loved your music & lyrics for years. I don't ever comment.
Tonight, I must.
I turned 50 years old last April and this song...THIS song...these LYRICS describe me from 18 yrs old; to today. And my call to God . . . . Every. Single. Day.
Unbelieveable how y'all did it. I guess God decided it was time to write my 32 year stuggle and put it to song.
Gotta go now....can't see through the tears.
I'll be honest, this is one of the few songs I've ever listened to and cried to.
Thank you NEEDTOBREATHE, thank you for your beautiful art, I've needed this.
Absolutely love this song. It brings tears to my eyes as I navigate all my kids being out of the house and in college or beyond. In a blink of an eye they grow up and it is quiet, but I know God is always there...
Lyrics:
It's dark and it's quiet in my house tonight
Babies are all gone to sleep
It's hard to imagine a better life
Than the one I get to lead
I had a glass of wine but my mind is clear
These walls they talk to me
Don't blink an eye, you're a young man now
But you won't always be
My blood and my bones
My heart and my hands
They try to hold all of this in
But I'm running to you like a west Texas wind
Singing God I need you, oh, how I need you
God I need you again
I've learned to hide my fear in my bones
My body don't shake like the kids
But I'm easily scared and often confused
I rarely know what I did
I've made mistakes and even worse than that
I've hurt the ones that I love
I wish that peace could find me here
But it seldom ever does
My blood and my bones
My heart and my hands
They try to hold all of this in
So I'm running to you like a west Texas wind
Singing God I need you, oh, how I need you
God I need you again
I'm in the shadows of Heaven and Earth
Maybe they should be the same
But my Earthly body is bound and conflicted
And I'm left feeling the pain
This house is not our only home
You can't protect love with stone
God I know you can hear me
So please come near me
I'm ready to let the world go
My blood and my bones
My heart and my hands
They try to hold all of this in
So I'm running to you like a west Texas wind
Singing God I need you, oh, how I need you
God I need you again
Just so so beautiful it's really hard to find the words to express what this song is...
Really touched listening to this tonight.
This one hits me right in the gut, but in a good way.
You guys have helped me through so much. This song brought me to tears, and that’s not easy to do. Thank you so much for bringing light into this world
Yes, Thank the Lord for this Godly band! All glory and praise to the Comforter as our Soul Yearns and Worship the Lord, The Mighty Savior.
I’m in awe at this band rn
So my favorite band of all time makes a song named after west Texas...my birthplace of Odessa... I can go ahead and call this a highlight of my life. GREAT SONG AS CAN BE EXPECTED OF NEEDTOBREATHE!
Listened to the full album today, really blew my mind, especially this one gave me tears. This is a gift!
This is reminds me of older Mumford songs. What a beautiful song.
I relate to this song so much as a mother in the middle of parenting little ones. I rely on Jesus so much to help me be the gentle loving mother that my boys need. This album is amazing- and I love this song 💗
Think this might be my new favourite song .Love this band ❤🙏
Wow. Wow. Wow.
Hits me right in the soul 😭😭😭
This song is like Folk + 80s power ballad and it's absolutely breathtaking.
This song helps describe how connected to God I can feel out in the natural beauty of West Texas, where I was born and where I belong.
Listening to this while my babies are sleeping. Great stuff.
I wish bands would write a song with great lyrics in 2021, NTB hold my wine. Another fantastic song. See you guys in October
Oh how we ALL need GOD almighty in these troubled times….please repent don’t be left BEHIND!! Accept JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY as your LORD AND SAVIOR it’s not too late
I love this song. Speaks to my heart.
This song should number one on country charts !!!!!
remind us Lord how much we need you!
This band gets better and better. God Bless!
Wow.. beautiful song

Brought me to tears as well! Absolutely beautiful song. Love all of your music so much. I listen to you guys almost every day and it has helped me through my darkest times. My kids know most of your lyrics by heart and my 11 year old often listens to you before bed! ☺️ Thank you for sharing your gift of music and poetry with the world! ❤️
