Spirit Waltz, Something Like Silas

These vereses have really been speaking to me recently, and this song came on while I was listening to my music and I thought they might tie together, at least when speaking on God's love for us.

Psalm 103: 8-12
8 GOD is sheer mercy and grace; not easily angered, he’s rich in love.
9 He doesn’t endlessly nag and scold, nor hold grudges forever.
10 He doesn’t treat us as our sins deserve, nor pay us back in full for our wrongs.
11 As high as heaven is over the earth, so strong is his love to those who fear him.
12 And as far as sunrise is from sunset, he has separated us from our sins.

Your cup of grace is deeper than, is deeper than the ocean
Your strong embrace is wider than, is wider than the sky.

Jesus, my heart cannot break enough for,
Your love, a well that runs deep within my soul.

Your perfect words go further than, go further than tomorrow
And when my world shakes you pull me through, you pull me through the storm.

Shine On, The Kooks

Safety pins holding up the things
That make you mine
About your hair, you needn't care,
You look beautiful all the time.

Shine, shine, shine on
Yes
Wont you shine, shine on

Your magazines, at people at the seams
But you still read I must admit, I don't believe in it
But I see how you get sucked in

Shine, shine, shine on
Yes
Wont you shine, shine on (Sha la la la)
Shine, shine, shine on
Yes
Wont you shine, shine on
Because your not done

Why do you buy the hand that feeds you
Why do you
Why do you buy the hand that feeds...you!

Shine, shine, shine on
Yes
Wont you shine, shine on (Sha la la la)
Shine, shine, shine on
Yes
Wont you shine, shine on

Safety pins holding up the things
That make you mine
About your hair, you needn't care
You look beautiful all the time

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

The Adventure, Angels and Airwaves

Yes, I understand this band is not a Christian band...but who cares. This song is a perfect description of our need for God to be in this life with us. It talks about death and regrowth and hope, many ideas that Christ himself talked about when presenting his salvation message. Life really is waiting to begin; it is our job to take the first step and invite Jesus on The Adventure with us, and then to share him with others.
[Verse]
I wanna have the same last dream again
The one where I wake up and I'm alive
Just as the four walls close me within
My eyes are open up with pure sunlight
I'm the first to know
My dearest friends
Even if your hope has burned with time
Anything that is dead shall be re-grown
And your vicious pain, your warning sign
You will be fine
[Chorus]
Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life’s waiting to begin
[Verse]
Any type of love it will be showed
Like every single tree reach for the sky
If you're gonna fall I'll let you know
That I will pick you up
Like you for I
I felt this thing I can't replace
When everyone was working for this goal
Where all the children left without a trace
Only to come back as pure as gold
To recite this all
[Chorus]
Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life’s waiting to begin
Tonight Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life’s waiting to begin
Tonight
Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life’s waiting to begin
[Bridge]
I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me
[Outro]
Hey oh, here I am (do this with me)
Here we go
Life's waiting to begin (do this with me)
Hey oh, here I am (do this with me)
Here we go
Life's waiting to begin
Life's waiting to begin

Light Up Ahead, Further Seems Forever

Take this heart of darkness
I give it up
And all the emptiness
You fill it up
The times that I feel nothing
You bring enough
So I can live for something
You lift me up!

And all these bad dreams
I wake up to the light
And when I can't see
I wake up to your eyes

Wake me up
There's a light up ahead
There's a light up ahead (yeah)
There's a light up ahead
Wake me up
There's a light up ahead
Wake me up

It gets so complicated
If you live enough
Turn in to what you hated
You're breaking up
The times I feel like nothing
You bring enough
So I can live for something
You lift me up!

Staring at the Light, The Wedding; I Saw the Light, David Crowder Band

Two songs that have really spoken to me recently...can you find the underlying theme here?

Redemption is waiting at your doorstep
He is begging you to let him in now
You can put all of it off again
But where's it gonna get you in the end?

The time is now so maybe you should think things out,
Yea, take some time and think about it now.

This is the only chance to do something about it (something about it)
And don't you put it off (cause you can't live without it)

Cause the time is now

And take your life back with a vengeance
For the first time you cannot have true love
Promise me you'll never sleep again
Cause until you find the answers there's no rest.

To put to death the life you've lived in doubt
I'll show you all the things you've heard about

This is the only chance to do something about it (something about it)
Don't you put it off (cause you can't live without it)

You are on the verge
Let go
Go on staring at the light

If you let go and just believe
You won't make a liar out of me
Come try and show me what you see
What I have is what you need

This is the only chance to do something about it (something about it)
And don't you put it off (cause you can't live without it)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’ve wandered so aimless, life filled with sin
I wouldn’t let my dear Savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I’m so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

I’ve walked in darkness, clouds covered me
I had no idea where the way out could be
Then came the sunrise and rolled back the night
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

Just like a blind man I wandered alone
Worries and fear I claimed for my own
Then like a blind man who God gave back his sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

When death takes me down and I breath here no more
My anthem will sound on that eternal shore
When I join with the angels in heaven on high
Singing “Praise the Lord, I saw the light”

Home, Foo Fighters; Including My Most Needed Confessions

I wish I were with you, I couldn't stay
Every direction leads me away
Pray for tomorrow, but for today

All I want is to be home

Stand in the mirror, you look the same
Just looking for shelter, from the cold and the pain
Someone to cover, safe from the rain

All I want is to be home

Echoes and silence, patience and grace
All of these moments I'll never replace
Fear of my heart, absence of faith

All I want is to be home

People I've loved, I have no regrets
Some I remember, some I forget
Some of them living, some of them dead

All I want is to be home...

I heard this song tonight on ER and it just seemed to touch me. Yes, I understand the Foo Fighters are not a Christian band, but who cares? God uses non-religious and secular evidence to bring glory back to His name.

I'm in this place in life where it feels like I just can't escape. I seem to be holding onto my sin and myself, not letting God change me into the man He wants me to be. I am just tired of it and I want to come home...just like the ER episode was about.

Abbey had made a mistake by sleeping with another man while she was drunk, a sin which she easily falls into as an alcoholic. So, after making the mistake, her husband comes home from Croatia and she thinks that just because he's home, everything will fall back into place. She had been helping a patient who's father was a parapalegic. Abbey had been distracted by her guilt and temptations and had let it affect her work.

As she apologized to the father near the end of the episode, she made a profound statement..."we all make mistakes; it's just that we have to learn how to not make the same one twice." By coming to this realization, Abbey made us examine the inner workings of humans and of God's grace for us. God is incapable of hating us as individuals. He does, however, hate the sins we commit. So, by Christ's death on the cross, we are now able to find salvation from our sins and forgiveness in God's eyes, which as humans we could not possibly have gained from a perfect God.

Forgiveness does not entail perfection. It is inevitable that we should fail, because we are mere humans. However, that gives us no right to keep on living in sin. Forgiveness, rather, entails striving for perfection and admitting that our lives, motives, and actions are inadequate to meet the needs of admittance into heaven.

So, I come now before God and my fellow man, broken, tired, and wanting to return home...God forgive me! Forgive me for forsaking you and for thinking that I can do this alone. Forevermore I will strive for perfection in all aspects and will completely lean on you as my foundation and rock through all my trials, until the time you finally lead me home...oh what a day that will be!

Solution, Hillsong United

It is not a human right
To stare not fight
While broken nations dream
Open up our eyes, so blind
That we might find
The Mercy for the need

It is not too far a cry
To much to try
To help the least of these
Politics will not decide
If we should rise
And be your hands and feet

Singing Hey Now
Fill our hearts with your compassion
Hey Now
As we hold to our confession

Woah-oh-oh, God be the solution
Woah-oh-oh
We will be Your hands and be Your feet.
Yeah, yeah

Higher than a circumstance
Your promise stands
Your love for all to see
Higher than protest line and dollar signs
Your love is all we need

Only you can mend the broken heart
And cause the blind to see
Erase complete the sinners past
And set the captives free
Only you can take the widows cry
And cause her heart to sing
Be a father to the fatherless
Our savior and our king

We will be your hands, we will be your feet
We will run this race for the least of these
In the darkest place, we will be your light
We will be your light

We will be your hands , we will be your feet
We will run this race for the least of these
In the darkest place, we will be your light

We will be your light
We will run we will run

We will be your hands we will be your feet
We will run this race for the least of these
In the darkest place we will be your light
We will be your light

Fall in Line, Seven Places

If you're sitting down on your feet
Let's wake up those who are asleep
March on, left to right to left again
Our feet in sync to this rhythym
Conducted by the hand of the saving One

Report, fall in line, big mission with little time
Salute, stand tall, with one voice answers the call

Hear us say Jesus (We've got something to say)

Where are we while the world caves in?
Are we showing love or hate, are we enemy or friend
What was black and white has now turned grey
Let's right this wrong with love today
Stand our ground but with a helping hand

Hallelujah!

So sing it out now, with one voice loud and clear
Sing hallelujah, for our Redemption's near

It's time for us to stand up and speak the truth of His love
It's time to let the world know we've got something to say
It's time for us to lift our hands until the world understands
Jesus the reigning King is alive and well today.

Open Wide, Future of Forestry

You have walked so deep a canyon
Deep a canyon now
In the end you know that you've been found
You're found
Heaven sure fell hard upon you
Hard upon you now
In the end you know that you've been found
You're found

Oh, you belong now
Oh, you are free

So open wide the arms you're given
You're too alive to just stand still
Open wide your heart as you breathe in
You're too alive to just stay here

You wondered how your searching heart
Your searching heart would roam
Coming to the place that you'd call home
You're home

You're shaken up
Awaken
You gotta live, you gotta love

The Best Thing, Relient K

It's been a year filled with problems
But now you're here, almost as if to solve them
And I can't live in a world without you, now

All my life I've been searching for you
How did I survive in this world before you?
'Cause I don't want to live another day without you, now

This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree, the best thing is that it's happening to you and me

All I want to have is all that you can give me
And I'll give right back everything I've kept in me
'Cause nothing ever felt as right as this does right now

I'll go back to before we met
Try and erase the past, try harder to forget
'Cause nothing will ever be as good as here and now

'Cause when I looked into your eyes and you dared to stare right back
You should have said, "Nice to meet you, I'm your other half"

This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree, the best thing is that it's happening

This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree, the best thing is that it's happening to you and me

The best thing is that it's happening to you and me

I always knew
I'd find someone
I never dreamt
It'd be like this

'Cause you've surpassed all that I'd hoped for and ever wished
And I'm trying so hard, with all my heart and mind
To make your life as good as you've made mine

This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree, the best thing is that it's happening to you and me
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me

This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree, the best thing is that it's happening to me

Love and Radiation, All Star United

You're electric
And I'm out in the rainstorm
You're the virus
That's running through my veins
You're a danger
Like love and radiation
Seeping into my brain

You're the one I've been waiting for
You're my rocket to the sky
You're the diving board
Standin' seven stories high
You're the thrill of love
Like a jet on fire
Push me out and see if I can fly

You're the ocean
About to pull me under
You're the surgeon
Who says it's got to bleed
You're the true love
I've always been afraid of
But you're the one that I need

You're the one I've been waiting for
You're my rocket to the sky
You're the diving board
Standin' seven stories high
You're the thrill of love
Like a jet on fire
Push me out and see if I can fly

You're the passion Crashin' my defenses
And I'm defenceless to you

You're the one I've been waiting for
You're my rocket to the sky
You're the diving board Standin' seven stories
high You're the thrill of love
Like a jet on fire
Push me out and see if I can fly

Work, Jars of Clay

Just in case, I will leave my things packed
So I can run away
[Verse 1]
I cannot trust these voices
I don't have a line of prospects that can give some kind of peace
There is nothing left to cling to that can bring me sweet release
I have no fear of drowning
It's the breathing that's taking all this work
[Chorus]
Do you know what I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"?
What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"
[Verse 2]
Empty spaces with shadows hit by streetlights
Warnings signs and weight of tired conversations
In the absence of a shoulder, in the abscess of a thief
On the brink of this destruction, on the eve of bittersweet
Now all the demons look like prophets and I'm living out
Every word they speak, every word they speak
[Chorus]
Do you know what I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"?
What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"
What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"
Do you know what I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"?
What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"
What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"
Alone, alone, I don't want to be alone
I have no fear of drowning
It's the breathing that's taking all this work
