We went to Switchfoot last night, very cool. More than cool. Lots of college students in attendance, many if not most, were Mormon, but they were singing along, and loudly. I pray for the message to penetrate into their hearts and cause them to further seek the Father’s heart alone, outside of their “gospel.”
It was loud and rich.
Obsession…. David Crowder Band
What can I do with my obsession
With the things I cannot see
Is there madness in my being
Is it the wind that moves the trees?
Sometimes You’re further than the moon
Sometimes You’re closer than my skin
And You surround me like a winter fog
You’ve come and burned me with a kiss
Chorus:
And my heart burns for You
And my heart burns…for You
And I’m so filthy with my sin
I carry pride like a disease
You know I’m stubborn, Lord, and
I’m longing to be close
You burn me deeper than I know
And I feel lonely without hope
And I feel desperate
Without vision
You wrap around me like a winter coat
You come and free me like bird
Chorus
I got the Facedown cd by Matt Redman! Turn your speakers up, and let His glory shine around. I think I’m going to let this play for a while…. I need to refill my soul with the building creshendo of Him.
what an awesome tune to have in my head, what an awesome love song – of the purest kind.
You are my supply, my breath of life
Still more awesome than I know.
You are my reward, worth living for
Still more awesome than I know.
And all of you is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough
You’re my sacrifice, of greatest price
Still more awesome than I know.
You’re my coming King, You’re my everything
Still more awesome than I know.
And all of you, is more than enough for
All of me, for every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough
You are more than enough.
More than all I want, more than all I need
You are more than enough for me.
More than all I know, more than all I can see
You are more than enough for me.
More than all I want, more than all I need
You are more than enough for me.
More than all I know, more than all I can see
You are more than enough.
All of you, is more than enough for
All of me, for every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you. (Oh Yeah)
And all I have in you. (Jesus)
And all I have in you is more than enough.
More than enough.
There is a song in my head today and I am burning to get the cd, if you want to listen to a clip, it’s by Matt Redman, click song #9. The lyrics are based on the Scripture Lev 9:24, it’s alive and stirring me deeply today. If anyone has the whole song, would you post it so that I can listen and fill my ears with it’s entirety? : )
Here are the complete lyrics:
Welcomed in to the courts of the King,
I’ve been ushered into Your presence.
Lord, I stand on your merciful gound,
Yet with every step tread with reverence.
There is none in the heavens like You,
And upon the earth, who’s Your equal?
You are far above, You’re the highest of hights,
And I’m bowing down to exalt You.
And I’ll fall facedown,
As Your glory shines around.
Yes I’ll fall facedown,
As Your glory shines around.
Let Your glory shine around,
Let You glory shine around.
King of glory here be found,
King of glory.
I went to the Utah Opera Festival last night and watched Brigadoon. It amazes me to think of the expanse of talents that God gifts to us. From what I enjoyed last night, the orchestra playing the accompanyment to the voices of the cast, I was completely entertained. One of the songs was a song sung by “Charlie” to his fiancee “Jaennie,” called “Come to Me, Bend to Me…” and the chorus is this:
Come to Me
Bend to Me
Kiss Me Good Day….
Do you ever hear things around you, and feel like God is using it to speak directly to you? It’s as if He jumps into a melody or a sentence that someone speaks and internally it resonates as God’s whisper to your heart? I felt like He was singing me a love song, even though I know I was at the opera and that particular song is a part of the performance… but it felt like as I listened to it, God took it and twisted my heart with it so that I would know it was from Him.
Live is one of my favorite groups, and among their songs, I can listen to Lightening Crashes over and over again. Their new song Heaven, off of their Birds of Prey album, is worth a listen. This is a live version that Ed performed on The Late Show. The radio version is a little more polished, but I appriciate this one just as much.
Heaven
You don’t need no friends
Get back your faith again
You have the power to believe
Another dissident
Take back your evidence
It has no power to deceive
I’ll believe it when I see it for myself
I don’t need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe.
I don’t need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset and I perceive
I sit with them all night
Everything they say is right
But in the morning they were wrong
I’ll be right by your side
Come hell or water high
Down any road you choose to roam
I’ll believe it when I see it for myself
I don’t need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe.
I don’t need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset and I perceive, yeah
Darling, I believe, Oh Lord
Sometimes it’s hard to breathe, Lord
At the bottom of the sea, yeah yeah
I’ll believe it when I see it for myself
I don’t need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe.
I don’t need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset and I perceive
I don’t need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe.
I don’t need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset
I can see the sunset
I can see the sunset
I don’t need no one
I don’t need no one, oh
I don’t need no one
I don’t need no one
To tell me about heaven
I believe
I believe it, yeah
Caedmon’s Call is awesome…. on the album Back Home, there is a song called “Hands of the Potter” and I find myself singing it all the time… the lyrics are amazing:
Lord if I’m the clay then I’ve been left out in the sun
Cracked and dry, like mud from the sky
Still clinging to the prodigal sunBut I’m on my way back home
Yes I’m on my way back homeInto the hands
That made the wine from the water
Into the hands
The hands of the PotterLord if I’m the clay that let your living water flow
Soften up my edges Lord
So everyone will knowThat I’m on my way back home
Yes I’m on my way back homeAnd Lord when you listen for the song of my life
Let it be, let it be, a song so sweet
Let it be, let it be, a song so sweet
Let it be, let it be, a song so sweet, let it beLord if I’m the clay then lay me down
On your spinning wheel
Shape me into something you can fill
With something realAnd I’ll be on my way back home
Yes I’m on my way back home
I love being surrendered to Him, knowing that in His infinite creativity He is shaping me daily into His heart’s picture of what He wants me to be.
This is an exercise going around the ‘net:
====
1. Grab the nearest CD.
2. Put it in your CD-Player (or start your mp3-player, I-tunes, etc.).
3. Skip to Song 3 (or load the 3rd song in your 3rd playlist)
4. Post the first verse in your journal along with these instructions. Don’t name the band, nor the album-title.
