Ripples - Jacob Shepherd (Acoustics From Home)

(Lyrics below.)
Ripples is one of the most personal songs that I've ever written. It took a lot of vulnerability to finish but I knew that it would bring healing to so many people.
It's born of the struggles that I've experienced with other so-called Christians. If you've poured yourself out in service, love and grace but only felt under-appreciated or even betrayed then Ripples was written for you.
This recording is just what you see. No fancy mics or post-production.
Thank you so much for listening. My prayer is that no matter where you've come from today that you would allow God to meet you where you are right now. The pain you're carrying doesn't need to be yours any more. Jesus loves you and so do I.

RIPPLES - Music and Lyrics written by Jacob Shepherd 2016
LYRICS:
The birds they have their nests and the foxes have their dens,
But the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head,
Many times I’ve wept and prayed, “Lord I just want to be normal,”
But I know that’s just my flesh and not my heart, the end of me is really just the start,
Sometimes the tears have mingled with the dust I shook from my feet,
Another night I gave my voice, blistered my fingers,
Every time I’ll hear you whisper, “Don’t grow weary in well doing,”
But Lord you know all this rejection takes its toll,
Is there really no one else who can reach these souls?
Oh, ripples through my soul. They ripple, through my soul,
Jesus, I have nothing so I raise my empty hands and worship you,
I’ve tried to learn to trust, I’ll turn my back to show my scars,
Before I can think another knife is between my ribs,
Pretty sure I told you Jesus, “They’re all wolves just in sheeps’ clothing,”
You say, “Hurt people hurt people and the pain it makes them blind,
Teach them to seek and like you they will find,”
As soon as I forgive my wounds they start to heal,
The bitterness inside now a spring of purest water,
Jesus send me where you will and my commission I’ll fulfil,
My desire is to be where you are, I completely and utterly and wholly give you my heart,
