As I look through the Emmanuel Worship album, He Is Moving from 2021, the theme of feeling the need for forgiveness is prominent. It is a Lenten album in many ways and not always noisy.
This song, by Chiara Keady could easily be done as a quiet prayer. The chord charts are free at their site.
My backing goes more pop this time, and with no lead sheet to guide me the melody is only my take on their song. It is another song written in F# – the horror.
1 I am a rebel heart,
This is the 77th time,
I’ve been back here again.
Back and forth back and forth,
You never count, you never scorn
Arms ever open.Chorus
And I can’t fathom
why you’ve forgiven me again
You’ve stood right by me while I was lowly and called me your friend
Tell me what other King
Desires for me to offload my sin
That it should love and honour him
just to carry it, just to carry it
2 I am a wanderer,
You always leave the 99,
To bring a rebel home again.
I’m reaching out to you,
If I just touch you I’ll be cleansed,
Set free to sing again.Chorus
Bridge x4
Can you tell me where you’re going?
Cause I wanna follow.Chorus
2nd half of chorus
I am a rebel heart,
You always leave the 99,
