Plumb is absolutely one of the best Christian artists out there. Her voice is captivating and her lyrics are deep and from the heart. She is an artist that you can relate to. Although she is considered a Christian artist, not all her songs are related to her faith. Many of her songs are about family and love. Her first self-titled album, “Plumb”, was released in 1997 and she has been writing beautiful songs ever since. Here are my 10 favorite songs of hers and my favorite lyrics for each along with the album you can find each one on. Four of these songs are from her latest album, Need You Now. She keeps getting better with each album and I had to include these amazing songs! Enjoy!
10. Always, Blink
Favorite Lyric – “I will always try to keep you very safe. So open up your eyes, so they can look in mine and see a small reflection. And when you close your eyes I pray the thoughts inside are beautiful and true.”
9. Drifting, Need You Now
Favorite Lyric – “Can we make a searchlight from all the bridges that we burn? Do you see a rescue or a deeper kind of hurt? Who could love you? Who could hold you? I'd swim across the sea. You don't have to be alone where the shallow gets so deep.”
8. Don’t Deserve You, Need You Now
Favorite Lyric – “I don't deserve Your love, but You give it to me anyway. Can't get enough; You're everything I need! And when I walk away, You take off running and come right after me. It's what you do and I don't deserve You.”
7. Hang On, Beautiful History
Favorite Lyric – “Hang on when the water is rising. Hang on when the waves are crashing. Hang on, just don't ever let go. Hang on when you are barely breathing. Hang on when your heart's still beating. Hang on, just don't ever let go.”
6. God Shaped Hole, Candycoatedwaterdrops
Favorite Lyric – “There's a God-shaped hole in all of us and the restless soul is searching. There's a God-shaped hole in all of us and it's a void only He can fill.”
5. I Can’t Do This, Chaotic Resolve
Favorite Lyric – “I can't do this, I can't do this, I can't do this by myself! I can't do this, I can't do this, oh God I need Your help!”
4. Cut, Beautiful History
Favorite Lyric – “I may seem crazy or painfully shy and these scars wouldn't be so hidden if you would just look me in the eye. I feel alone here and cold here, though I don't want to die. But the only anesthetic that makes me feel anything kills inside.”
3. In My Arms, Blink
Favorite Lyric – “Your baby blues so full of wonder. Your curly cues. Your contagious smile. And as I watch you start to grow up, all I can do is hold you tight. Knowing clouds will rage in, storms will race in, but you will be safe in my arms. Rains will pour down. Waves will crash around. But you will be safe in my arms.”
2. One Drop, Need You Now
Favorite Lyric – “Come with me now, look and see how. There's an ocean overflowing with our hope so
let's jump in and, take a swim. It's you and me, yeah forever!”
1. Need You Now (How Many Times), Need You Now
This song speaks right to my heart! And I relate to it well. Here are the first two verses with the chorus.
Well, everybody's got a story to tell
And everybody's got a wound to be healed
I want to believe there's beauty here
'Cause oh, I get so tired of holding on
I can't let go, I can't move on
I want to believe there's meaning here
How many times have you heard me cry out
"God please take this"?
How many times have you given me strength to
Just keep breathing?
Oh I need you
God, I need you now.
Standing on a road I didn't plan
Wondering how I got to where I am
I'm trying to hear that still small voice
I'm trying to hear above the noise
How many times have you heard me cry out
"God please take this"?
How many times have you given me strength to
Just keep breathing?
Oh I need you
God, I need you now.
