Casting Crowns

[Rhoni]

Does Anybody Hear Her
------Casting Crowns

She is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
She is trying
But the canyon's ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets out on another misadventure just to find
She's another two years older
And she's three more steps behind

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

She is yearning
For shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching
For a hero to ride in
To ride in and save the day
And in walks her prince charming
And he knows just what to say
Momentary lapse of reason
And she gives herself away

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

If judgment looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can't see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her

If judgment looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can't see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her

Never even met her


Does anybody hear her? Does anybody see?
Or does anybody even knows she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me

Does anybody hear her? Does anybody see?
Does anybody even know she's going down today?
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Does anybody see?

He is running a hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction

I heard this song for the first time yesterday and it was awesome. anyone else like it?

Blessings, Rhoni

Oh yeah. Love the song. I like alot of casting crowns songs. They are usually more ballad type songs with a story line.

I listen to American Family Radio and they play them alot on that station

Fonix,

Our local station plays them a lot here in Dallas also. I hear Phillips, Craig, and Dean a lot here also. Kind of gives me the warm and fuzzies since Dan Dean was my piano teacher at JCM. I am happy for his success.

Blessings, Rhoni

I went and saw PCD in concert many moons ago. Like 15 yrs ago. I have alot of there CD's

My son just went and saw Big Daddy Weave. He said they were very good. With a name like that many might think they were rockers but they arent at all not even close.

To me, Casting Crowns does not have very many encouraging songs, only critical ones (in general). I was just listening to them on the way to work this morning.

I really like many of Casting Crowns songs... I know the one that was shown here and like it as well.

I don't see their songs as cynical myself. I see their songs as challenges to the church. I see them as eye opening & soul searching.

I think they do a great job of writing songs that really made us think about our approach to the world.

Here is the video for the song

I agree Digging4Truth. The song posted was one in which it is appealing to the church to look outside itself and see there is a hurting world out there. They are dying lost and alone right under our noses.

Blessings, Rhoni

P.S. The video shows a woman and her daughter going into the church and looking down at the woman searching for hope...this is sad.

As many times as I have heard this song... today is the first time I have seen the video... When the girl finally sat down with her at the end of the video I just busted out crying... MAN... So many people out there hurting in so many ways and we have the answer.

Reminds of the VERY old song that said "We've got to seek out the dry and arid places and stop this hauling water to the sea"

I don't see them as cynical either.

I love this one:

Praise You In This Storm

I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say “Amen”, and it’s still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as You mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will life my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can’t find You

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

We had a lady come to our church and sing this song one night. She said she had no idea why she felt to sing this song, She sang for me. She had no idea I was battling so hard and the Lord sent her two hours to our church to sing this song for me.

Needless to say, I LOVE that song. It really ministered to me at a time when I needed it the most.
