The Remedy - A Song


Ayiesha Woods has some really powerful and personal lyrics. I love her music.

Tonight this song really spoke to me. I guess I can really relate to it right now, so I thought I would share. Music is an integral part of my life. It helps keep me focused, helps to calm me, helps to cause tears, helps me to release my feelings, helps me to heal, and helps me to hurt. Listening to just the right song at the right time can make the biggest difference.



The Remedy Lyrics:
A little too much time on your hands
So many things pressing your heart
Now you're caught up in a brain storm
And the winds are tearing you apart
And what matters the most now
Shouldn't matter at all
You forgot who's holding you up
And He won't let you fall

Who's in control of your life
And knows better than you ever will
Who tells you time and again
Hush and be still
It's time to recognize
That your answer lies in His eyes
Where the river flows If you'll just

Free your mind
And the peace of God will follow
Just give yourself a little time
Don't worry 'bout tomorrow

Don't you know that His joy is your strength
Can you fathom it
Peace beyond your understanding
When you gonna grab a hold of it
Cause you're life's not your own
You can't do it alone
There is a remedy if you will let go and just...

Free your mind
And the peace of God will follow
Just give yourself a little time
Don't worry 'bout tomorrow

Don't you know just thinking about it,
Ain't gonna add one hour
Tell me who's in control

Behind the Song:
"Believe it or not, this song was written during a time when I was caught up emotionally with a young man and I was only about 19 years old! At that time I was consumed with the idea of a possible future together. Then God gave me Matthew 6:25-34 which talks about not being concerned with things that I cannot control - such as tomorrow! And taking no thought for my life because thinking of it won't add even an hour! I needed to free my mind! That song was/is a song of liberty! Thanks be to God - He knew all along that that young man was not for me those many years before!" - Ayiesha Woods
