Needtobreathe, “Able”

Needtobreathe continues to release some of the best Southern flavored Contemporary Christian music this side of Nashville, and the band’s latest, Able, is no exception to that storied, enviable legacy. The latest release from Needtobreathe’s The Reckoning opus, Able is a fine ballad about humility and reliance on God, produced in the musical tradition of Washed By The Water, full of glorious Hammond-style keys, a full choir, and, of course, Bear Rinehart’s glorious voice. Able is picking up now at Christian AC, so I think we can safely expect Needtobreathe to add yet another title to its growing list of Top 10 hits.

ABLE Lyrics
Needtobreathe

There’s a host of hurts we come across
None of which alike
From the air inside the birthing room
To the darkness where we die
Though I feel I’m just as strong as any man I know
I’m not able on my own

Carry round the secrets
Only heaven knows
Crawl into our darkened rooms where only victims go
Though I feel I’m strong enough to carry all this load
I’m not able
I’m not able
I’m not able on my own

I’m not able (not able)
I’m not able (not able)
I’m not able (not able) on my own

I’m not able (not able)
I’m not able (not able)
I’m not able (not able) on my own

All my actions, false or true
Selfish motives I will use
We were born with knives in hand
Trained to kill our fellow man
If we’re not better than the rest
How will children do their best
Find your patience, find your truth
Love is all we have to lose
Have to lose

Cuz I’m not able
I’m not able
I’m not able on my own
