Apparently so do my children. Though they aren't so keen on the new one. They don't like the new Wiggles group member very much at all.
Songs that mean a lot What songs mean a lot to you? I have too many to list, so I'll list a few of them, along with their lyrics (or my favorite part of their lyrics). The first one is What If I Stumble by dc Talk. It's about how we'll all stumble away from God at some time in our lives, but we should pick ourselves up again and keep following Him. This is the first part of the lyrics: Is this one for the people? Is this one for the Lord? Or do I simply serenade for things I must afford? You can jumble them together, my conflict still remains Holiness is calling, in the midst of courting fame Cause I see the trust in their eyes Though the sky is falling They need Your love in their lives Compromise is calling What if I stumble, what if I fall? What if I lose my step and I make fools of us all? Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl? What if I stumble, and what if I fall? --- And another is Deathbed by Relient K. It's basically a story about somebody who did so many bad things that he was afraid of Jesus when he was coming to him as he lay on his deathbed. It ends very happily, though. This is my favorite portion of the song: I was so scared of Jesus but He sought me out Like the cancer in my lungs that's killing me now And I've given up hope on the days I have left But I cling to the hope of my life in the next Then Jesus showed up, said, "Before we go up I thought that we might reminisce See, one night in your life, when you turned out the lights You asked for and prayed for My forgiveness "You cried wolf; the tears they soaked your fur The blood dripped from your fangs You said, 'What have I done?' You loved that lamb with every sinful bone And there you wept alone Your heart was so contrite "You said, 'Jesus, please forgive me of my crimes Sanctify this withered heart of mine Stay with me until my life is through And on that day, please take me home with You'" --- There's this one by Jars of Clay called Oh My God. The lead singer says it's about how everybody intersects with God at some point. It's a song about an outcry. I love the way it builds at the end. You can really feel all the emotion. This is the last part of the song: Sometimes I cannot forgive And these days, mercy cuts so deep If the world was how it should be, maybe I could get some sleep While I lay, I dream we're better Scales were gone and faces lighter When we wake, we hate our brother We still move to hurt each other Sometimes I can close my eyes And all the fear that keeps me silent falls below my heavy breathing What makes me so badly bent? We all have a chance to murder We all feel the need for wonder We still want to be reminded that the pain is worth the thunder Sometimes when I lose my grip, I wonder what to make of heaven All the times I thought to reach up All the times I had to give Babies underneath their beds Hospitals that cannot treat all the wounds that money causes All the comforts of cathedrals All the cries of thirsty children - this is our inheritance All the rage of watching mothers - this is our greatest offense Oh my God Oh my God Oh my God --- And this one could be my theme song. I'm Not Alright by Sanctus Real. We often don't show people who we really are, instead showing them a fake version of ourselves. But our troubles force us to come closer to God, and only then can we truly be alright. This is the first part of the song: If weakness is a wound that no one wants to speak of Then cool is just how far we have to fall I am not immune-I only wanna be loved But I feel safe behind the firewall Can I lose my need to impress? If you want the truth, I need to confess I'm not alright I'm broken inside, broken inside And all I go through It leads me to you, it leads me to you There are so many more, but I'll post tem later, when everybody else has had a chance to post.
