Not Noticing - Tikvah

Greg and I are in the process of putting together a CD as a bit of a fundraiser for our upcoming trip to Puerto Rico. We have been invited to perform at the Late Night Terrace during the American Baptist International Biennial Convention. After laying down a few tracks, we decided to write one or two more original songs for the CD and this is one that we came up with.


NOT NOTICING

I am like the woman by the well
Unwanted, unneeded until you called me
Insecure, frightened, bruised and torn
Wanting more but not knowing how

Just another day of not noticing
Looking for You but not paying attention
Life ebbs and flows and I miss You reaching out to save me

I am like Martha, preparing for You
Hurrying around, and You're already here
Busy, frantic and rushing about
Missing You while You sit in the other room

Just another day of not noticing
Looking for You but not paying attention
Life ebbs and flows and I miss You reaching out to save me

Here I stand in the midst of this world
Half jobless, half useless, but still searching
A husband, a house, and dishes piled high
Wanting more help but pushing You away at every step

Just another day of not noticing
Looking for You, but not paying attention
Life ebbs and flows and I miss You reaching out to save me

Just another day of not noticing
Looking for You, but not paying attention
Life ebbs and flows and I miss You reaching out to save me
You're reaching out to save me.
