lyrics

Where I’m From
I’m from my dad Doug Hunter, a man with a heavy heart
Whose words were as desperate as beggars cries
and as sharp as darts
I’m from his house of cards, that we’d shoot down with rubber bands
I’m from the depth of his sorrow, I’m from his artistic hands

You ask me where I’m from, I’m from the heart of God
You ask me why I’ve come, I’ve come to love

I’m from that bitter day, when I found out he was locked up in a cage
Cause he bowed down to darkness and became its slave, when he shot down a man in a fit of rage
I’m from heartbroken tears, I’m from walls of shame
I’m from a lonely place of confusion and anger, disguises and blame

You ask me where I’m from, I’m from the mercy of my God
You ask me why I’ve come, I’ve come to love

I’m from a woman named Trudy, I came out of her womb.
I’m from her turtle neck sweaters and her vanilla perfume.
I’m from the warmth of her smile, I’m from her dark brown hair
I’m from her humble heart, and all her love and care

You ask me where I’m from, I’m from the grace of God
You ask me why I’ve come, I’ve come to love

I’m from the One called Jesus. I’m from His perfect life
I’m from His love and His grace. I’m from His sacrifice.
He gave sight to the blind, and crushed the captive’s chains.
He loves unconditionally and He’s taught me to do the same.

You ask me where I’m from, I’m from the faithfulness of God.
You ask me why I’ve come, I’ve come to love.
You ask me why I’m here today, I’m here to love.

about

Amber Hunter Phoenix, Arizona

These songs are my journal entries.

They're my tears and prayers.
They’re the joyful moments when I feel completely alive!

They're my haunting questions and my search for truth.
These songs are my deepest longings and my heart spilled out.

I hope my story will intersect with yours in a meaningful way to bring courage and freedom.

With love,

Amber
