You guys.
I may have literally just stumbled across this band but it was definitely no accident.
I think I may be in love.
Every other Monday Melody (that's never on a Monday) has been a song that I've been obsessing over for about a week but I'm not kidding when I say I just found this. Like maybe five minutes ago. But it's that good that I want to post it!
The band is called Jenny & Tyler and they had a song featured in a wedding video I was watching (shocker). I still haven't found the actual song that was in the video but this is the first one that popped up when I searched them and I was definitely not disappointed. The chorus is based on Paul's letter to the Galatians (6:9) and is just so beautiful. And it probably doesn't hurt that I think they're adorbs. And a couple which always makes it that much better.
Jenny wrote this on their website about the song: "Faint Not chronicles our journey of faith, from God's pursuit of us, to first believing, to the really high highs and the really low lows; it's an honest telling of our relationship with the Lord and with each other. As writers, songs allow us to communicate experiences and truths when we can't find the words to speak them. Our hope is that the songs will resonate with you. We don't know what the future holds, but we're thankful for where we are today. We're thankful for you and your support of our music."
So here it is...
the problem's not a gun, not a color, not a hundred dollar bill
we think the struggle can be won with simple thoughts like 'come together be good willed'
the gap between the rich and poor is spreading out all the more or so they say
we ignore the claims
o my soul, faint not, no
faint not | o my soul, keep up, up
in love
it's not that we don't know or we're not shown the proof of poverty
it's not that we don't have the tools to go to break this yoke of slavery
we quit because it's not an easy fix and then forget that they are even there
we forget to care
o my soul, faint not, no
faint not | o my soul, keep up, up
in love
where there is hatred, let me sow love
where there is injury, let me pardon
where there is darkness, let the Light come, come
o my soul, faint not, no
faint not | o my soul, keep up, up
in love
o my soul, faint not, no
faint not | o my soul, keep up, up
in love
faint not
faint not
