The Wind was His Reply
GuidanceUncertaintyTrust
A weathered country meditation on a marriage under strain, a man walking into the fields, and God’s quiet presence in creation. Seven days hold together listening, repentance, creation’s witness, and the hard work of returning home in truth.
"The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth."
A song for the road you're on.

The Wind was His Reply Dirt Road Gospel Music DirtRoadGospelMusic.com [Verse] You're pushing me away again Same old fight, same old blame I grab my boots beside the door And walk out in the rain Gravel crunching under me Barn light cuts the black Somewhere 'tween the house and field I decide I ain't going back [Pre-Chorus] These four walls got too loud This heart got too proud I needed something solid Something that won't divide [Chorus] Why is it I feel like a better man out here Where the only thing that's judging me Is the sky when it gets clear You always blamed me for the way I made you feel But these old fields don't lie to me And these old fields just heal I just breathe out here [Verse] The cattle don't ask questions The fence rows hold their peace I've mended more than wire out here Trying to find some release Daddy worked this ground before me Said the land will tell you true I been talking to these rows of dirt More than I ever talked to you [Pre-Chorus] These four walls got too loud This heart got too proud I needed something solid Something that won't divide [Chorus] Why is it I feel like a better man out here Where the only thing that's judging me Is the sky when it gets clear You always blamed me for the way I made you feel But these old fields don't lie to me And these old fields just heal I just breathe out here [Bridge] The house behind me glows But it don't feel like home Just four walls full of everything We swore we'd never become So I walk deeper in the dark Where the tree line meets the sky I asked the Lord what broke us And the wind was His reply [Chorus] Why is it I feel like a better man out here Where the ground beneath my boots Is the only thing that's real You always blamed me for the way I made you feel And maybe you were right, darlin' But a man can only break so long before he can't feel I just breathe... out here [Outro] [spoken, slow fade] The fields don't push me away They just hold me where I stand
