ONE<br>love, blood, life
So a couple of my favorite "Christian" songs came up randomly on my playlist tonight... and I remembered why they were my favorites in the first place. I wanted to share them, because not only do they have awesome, inspiring lyrics, but the music is also incredible. I would definitely recommend these for download (Or I can send them to you over AIM )
Possibly my favorite song ever...
Love Song - Third Day
I've heard it said that a man would climb a mountain
Just to be with the one he loves
How many times has he broken that promise
It has never been done.
I've never climbed the highest mountain
But I walked the hill of calvary
Chorus:
Just to be with you, I'd do anything
There's no price I would not pay
Just to be with you, I'd give anything
I would give my life away.
I've heard it said that a man would swim the ocean
Just to be with the one he loves
How may times has he broken that promise
It can never be done
I've never swam the deepest ocean
But I walked upon the raging sea
Repeat chorus
(Bridge) I know that you don't understand
the fullness of My love
How I died upon the cross for your sins
And I know that you don't realize
how much that I gave you
But I promise, I would do it all again.
Just to be with you, I've done everything
There's no price I did not pay
Just to be with you, I gave everything
Yes, I gave my life away.
Consuming Fire - Third Day (yes, again... they just write incredible, inspiring music!)
Set this place on fire
Send you spirit, Savior
Rescue form the mire
Show Your servant favor
Yesterday was the day that I was alone
Now I'm in the presence of Almighty God
Chorus:
and yes our God, He is a consuming fire
And the flames burn down deep in my soul
Yes our God He is a consuming fire
He reaches inside and He melts down this
cold heart of stone.
Set this place on fire
Send Your spirit, Saviour
Rescue form the mire
Show your servant favor
Yesterday was the day that I was alone
Now I'm in the presence of Almighty God
Repeat chorus
Did you realize that inside you there is a flame?
Did you ever try to let it burn?
King of the Hill - Eli
Stay with me awhile.
Well it may seem foolish, but I'm scared
My beloveds yelling "Crucify!"
And its as if no one ever cared.
Soldiers mock me with their songs.
They laugh because I'm naked and I'm weak
Well I don't know how much longer I can go on,
When every breath I take is just to weep.
And for a moment time stood still,
To listen to the King of the hill.
And all the angels just stood still.
To listen to the King of the hill.
Well I could've had servants
And I could have ruled this world as their King.
And I could have had wealth beond measure.
I could have had anything, but it wouldn't have meant anything
Not my will but Yours be done,
I had no agenda, only Your truth.
You were so proud to call me Son,
Now Father, I commit my soul to You.
And for a moment time stood still,
To listen to the King of the hill.
And I can hear You whisper, stil;
Father, I'm the King of the hill,
Father, I'm the King of the hill
Breakfast - Newsboys
Hold the milk, put back the sugar
They are powerless to console
We've gathered here to sprinkle ashes
from our late friend's cereal bowl.
Breakfast Clubbers, say the motto
that he taught us to repeat:
"You will lose it in your gym class
if you wait `til noon to eat."
Back when the Chess Club said our eggs were soft
every Monday he'd say grace and hold our juice aloft
Oh, none of us knew his checkout time would come so soon
But before his brain stopped waving, he composed this tune:
Chorus
WHEN THE TOAST IS BURNED
AND ALL THE MILK HAS TURNED
AND CAPTAIN CRUNCH IS WAVING FAREWELL
WHEN THE BIG ONE FINDS YOU
MAY THIS SONG REMIND YOU
THAT THEY DON'T SERVE BREAKFAST IN HELL
Breakfast clubbers, drop the hankies.
Though to some our friend was odd,
that day he bought those pine pajamas
his check was good with God.
Those here without the Lord,
how do you cope?
For this morning we don't mourn
like those who have no hope
Oh, rise up, Fruit Loop lovers -
sing out sweet & low
With spoons held high
we bid our brother, "Cheerio!"
- Chorus -
Okay, now that I've shared all of those... I've thought of about 40 more that I'd like to share lol
Anyway, I've been thinking a lot about the sacrifice Jesus made for me and what I'm doing with my life to honor that sacrifice. These songs take me back to a time in my life when these questions didn't seem to hard to answer, when life didn't seem quite as messed up as it looks to me now. So, sorry for the long post... but I'd like to hear what your favorite songs are too! Music is obviously a big part of all of our lives, and I've found that oftentimes songs say things better than we ever could... so please share
