Come Close 02:32
Come close come close Jesus my redeemer come close I will boldly beg to hear your voice oh God of all creation come close
2.
My Shepherd 03:43
Oh that my steps might be guided by you down righteous paths that you have paved in truth you're leading me to the quiet water's edge Never left to wander alone but you take my hand in your very own oh wisdom wash all my narrow dreams away See how Christ has set me free my heart wide open to where you lead for I know my shepherd and my shepherd he knows me With my pleading eyes do I look on you your will and your ways are my hearts pursuit for I am a stranger in a land that's not my home May my heart lean into all that you are my spirit groans for your kingdom come for your name's sake I offer all to you
3.
Christ In Me 03:53
You have built this house and I have locked you out consecrated now still bringing you my offerings My body wears away but you lead my soul to waters deep and I can overcome the greatest of my enemies Christ in me the hope of glory I am made alive in Jesus’ death Christ in me the hope of glory love has finally found a place to rest in me Though my heart feels weak and my faith is wavering you've revealed to me the greatest of your mysteries You have won my heart and you have won my war so I'll call my soul to start living in the victory
4.
Come Unto Me 04:32
Come unto me all ye burdened with the weight of the world on your back come know this peace that I have purchased with my blood on your behalf Come unto me all ye sinners weary and covered in scars come and taste of my forgiveness how I love to pardon your heart Nothing now can ever take you out of my merciful hands come unto me all ye burdened and I will give you rest Come unto me you broken hearted the ones with nowhere to go I have been where you wander I am calling you home
5.
If it had not been the Lord on our side we'd be swallowed up in defeat our souls would be caught like a bird in a snare but the snare is broken and we are free If it had not been the Lord on our side then the waters had overwhelmed my soul our help is found in the name of God the maker of heaven and all of earth Though my flesh has ever failed you've loved me through my weakest days oh my God you have walked with me and lead me strong through every storm I face If it had not been the Lord on our side we'd be caught in the wake of our own sin the waters cannot overwhelm us now for our God holds the seas in his strong right hand If it had not been the Lord on our side the cross would not have been traded for crown but our God is strong and the grave overwhelmed Christ is alive and with us now
6.
Morning broke under the weight of the cross the sky went black before the sun was gone my heart broke under the weight of your love oh God I'm still here with your blood on my hands and a heart so dark that it could blind this man oh bright and morning star shine on me today A silhouette against a rolling sky see your reflection in my drowning eyes call it love that he went to die for me Underneath the violent shouts and cries I heard the bridegroom calling to his bride my beloved come and share in everything I heard you cry my God where have you gone three in one torn apart just to bring my heart back home
7.
Slow Down 03:48
I wait you speak I'd rather your dreams than my plans which seem to come up empty handed I love you close right here where I know I don't have to hold the world up on my shoulders Slow down slow down and listen Your word it goes a caged bird that has flown and before it comes home it does what you intended Just like the rain and the snow that fall softly and slow then carefully grow every seed that you planted Empty spaces in our conversation I try to rush you my time is wasting I hear you whispering softly be patient my love
8.
Cries Of Woe 04:54
You of whom the psalmist sung you who woke the prophet’s tongue breath of God that fills my lungs my victory over death that stung me Show me God of light and grace the brightness of my father’s face how redemption knows my name and every sin I hide away It’s grace that brought my death to life and stole away my wandering eyes oh bride behold the cross of Christ and how we’ve been redeemed By love that leads my heart to sing of power that can set me free my every hour I believe that you will have the victory My cries of woe will turn to hallelujah songs about my God my heart will come awake my bridled tongue will sing out loud again Grace it covers me and everything I know will be redeemed faith when I don't see the one who authored love is leading me
9.
Come close come close Jesus my redeemer come close I will boldly beg to hear your voice oh God of all creation come close Lord let me hear you speak louder than what I think and I will believe the only thing that matters here is what you say to me
10.
Awake my soul with the sun that rises to show your faithfulness awake my soul with the sun that rises to show you're beautiful With the saints and the angels joined above our prayers and our praises on you God these endless ages are yours alone The one whose glory can fill up the skies our God victorious over the night the author of our rescued lives God let me feel the weight of my sin pressing down on your heart that is broken for my life the role that I played in your death God let me feel the burden lifted off of my back the mercy that covers it all and the depth of your love over me God let me feel all the joy of my salvation the way that I heard you calling calling me out of my sleep
11.
Your Mercy 03:22
Before I drift away speak to my heart reminding me where I belong I am not left to walk alone you will not rest until I’m safely in your arms Your mercy's new every day but I've had enough of my wandering You raised me out of the clay for more than the scope of my own dreams There's a blood that speaks a better word better and louder than the lies that I have heard the spirit leads the spirit sings let me keep in step with every thundering beat You pick me up so easily I know the weight that I can be and still you run to carry me you call me yours you call me free

about

This is the debut album from Alabama-based The Hedgerow Folk. Formed out of a local church gathering, the band is committed to writing songs that reflect scripture and that highlight our ability and calling to walk close with our Father.

The Hedgerow Folk was formed out of a local church body in Auburn, Alabama in 2012 where Amanda Hammett and Jon Myles were leading worship together. The two realized very quickly that there was something special about the combination of their voices and began to pursue the idea of recording some original music. Jon had been in a few previous bands but was sensing the Lord leading him to begin to write in a new kind of way that centered around quiet reflection and being in an intimate relationship with Christ. Bryant Hains and Jon had previously played together in another band for several years and had really begun to have a mutual respect for each other as artists, recognizing that each one had something unique to offer when it came to creating music. After some prayer and consideration, Jon, Bryant, and Amanda began working and writing together and eventually solidified their group under the name The Hedgerow Folk (taken from a line of a C.S. Lewis poem)."We really felt early on that whatever we created should be a blessing to all those who might hear it. We see ourselves now as more of a ministry than a band in the conventional sense, and our desire, above all else, is to be useful in connecting people with the Father. We want to create art that leads people to slow down, reflect, and hear God's voice in their lives."
