Plumb, “Beautiful History”

Plumb’s Beautiful History is a single of her greatest hits album, Beautiful History: A Hits Collection. Released November 3, 2009, Beautiful History was a slow burn, and the second single and title track just recently cracked the Top 20 of the Radio and Records AC chart, making it her latest Top 20 hit in a string of hits. Tiffany Arbuckle Lee, who goes by the single name of Plumb when recording, has had quite a career: Beautiful History is a double CD, containing new songs, including Hang On, and new recordings of her classic songs, including God-Shaped Hole, Stranded, and Here With Me. If I am not mistaken, I think, while the first single was Hang On, I think I saw God-Shaped Hole on one of the Billboard charts not too long ago. Beautiful History also includes a new extended mix of Plumb’s crossover hit, In My Arms..

Beautiful History is a moving track, without a doubt. Plumb says in a press release, “Beautiful History is about all the messes we’ve made and the sovereignty of God, who picks you up, brushes you off and says, “Begin again.”” Wow, right? Now play the video; the person who made it came up with some pretty terrific images to accompany the song.

BEAUTIFUL HISTORY Lyrics
Plumb

I have made mistakes
And I have been afraid
I have felt alone
Then you called my name

Things were crashing loudly
Happening all around me
But your still small voice
Was all that I could hear

“I am here
I’m holding you
You’ll make it through this
I am here
I am here

I am here
I’m holding you
You’ll make it through this
I am here
I am here”

Whenever you run away
Whenever you lose your faith
It’s just another stroke of
The pen on the page

A lonely ray of hope
Is all that you need
To see
A beautiful history

Well I have been such a fool
When I have known the truth
I’ve wasted so much time
Doing what I want to do

I’ve been living solely
For myself and myself only
But your still small voice
Is whispering

Whenever you run away
Whenever you lose your faith
It’s just another stroke
Of the pen on the page

A lonely ray of hope
Is all that you need
To see
A beautiful history

I toss and turn and scream
I try to do everything
With two feet on the ground
I just keep falling down again

I feel so far from home
Completely all alone
And then I hear you say
“I am here, I am here”

Whenever you run away
Whenever you lose your faith
It’s just another stroke of
The pen on the page

A lonely ray of hope
Is all that you need
To see
A beautiful history
A beautiful history
A beautiful history
