Falling or Flying, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Wake up lost again
Drove to the end of the road
And a red faced man
Taught us to do what were told

And on the 23rd night
Things ain’t bad
But things aint right

Are we falling or flying
Are we falling or flying
Are we living or dying
I guess we’ll never know

Air so heavy
It could drown a butterfly
If it flew too high

And I get the feeling
That the truck driver aint shy
Cuz he looking at me but no where near my eyes

On the 35th morning
Things aint good
But things aint boring

Striking rock or hitting gold

Sometimes its hard to tell If theres a life behind a song
But I know tomorrow
Today won’t feel so long
Alone

Cuz on the 42nd night
The room was dark
But the stage was bright

Cuz my friend this too shall pass
So play every show like its your last

Whatever You're Doing (Something Heavenly), Sanctus Real

God, you're amazing! How you seem to know exactly what to say and when to say it! How you know what to do to make me feel like a million dollars, like I'm unstoppable in your presence! Amazing, purely amazing! Enough to completely drench me in your love, to knock me over like a waterfall. Enough to make me forget my past, and turn my future toward your design.

It's time for healing time to move on
It's time to fix what's been broken too long
Time make right what has been wrong
It's time to find my way to where I belong
There's a wave that's crashing over me
And all I can do is surrender

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see but
I'm giving in to something Heavenly

Time for a milestone
Time to begin again
Reevaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow Your will
Or just climbing aimlessly over these hills
So show me what it is You want from me
I give everything I surrender... To...

Time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
That I've wanted to say for so many years
Time to release all my held back tears

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but
I believe You're up to something bigger than me
Larger than life something
Heavenly

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but now I can see
This something bigger than me
Larger than life something
Heavenly
Something
Heavenly

It's time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out

10 Good Reasons, Hello Kelly; My Life's Purpose

Sitting in the cafeteria this morning between classes I had finally had it. My apathy had eaten me apart to the point of exhaustion, but more to the point of disgust with myself. I understood my predicament was merely a result of my sins, sins that had caused the death of my True Love, of my Father, and myself. I was reading Black by Ted Dekker last night and it talked about how our sins cause God to scream out in pain, not us, but God. It causes Him to feel pain every time we wrong him, every time we turn our back on him we crucify Christ on the cross again.

So, I was sick of my life as it was, as it never was meant to be. I wanted to stop killing Christ, to live a life that was holy and pleasing to him. I gave it all up and let Him take me, finally and forever.

I've heard this song before but never really understood the meaning until now, and it is verbatim what I needed to say to my Father for so long but never could. This song and this day helped me re-find my life's purpose.

This is the first thing I remember
I’ve seen black and white forever
But the mistakes I’ve made are making me afraid
That I might do something
Something that can’t be forgiven
So I’ve got this suit and tie
Something I can hide behind
And it feels like I’ve got give you

10 good reasons why
You still love me every time
10 good reasons
I deserve forgiveness every night
10 good reason why
You still love me when I
I ain't got no reason why

And I remember laying everything down
Only to turn around and sell you out
It’s like I’m laughing in your face for the sacrifice you made
But you’re breaking my defenses
And you’ll carry me when
It feels like I've got to give you

But this is everything I wanted:
To give you reasons I’m not
Everything you wanted
There’s blood on my hands
These 10 reasons I can’t give you
Is one more reason that I need you

I ain’t got no, I ain’t got no, I ain’t got no reasons why
I ain’t got no, I ain’t got no, got no reason why
