Sometimes I can't find the word to express how I am feeling or what I am thinking. Now would be one of those times. To put into words all I saw and experienced is really hard. Then to express my feelings and thoughts about those things are even harder. The Lord has been using song lyrics to help me sort out my thoughts. I thought I would just share a few of them with you...
"We go a thousand miles an hour, and we don't look back. We go a thousand miles an hour and never stop to look around. This is life. This is love. This is breath filling my lungs. I've never felt this way about life, until I saw your love with my eyes. There has to be much more to life than just these hands spinning round. If our time is spent inside the lines we'll be alone standing 'round. This is life. This is love. This is breath filling my lungs. I've never felt this way about life, until I saw love with my eyes. I want a live, I want to breath like it's my last before I leave. I want to sing. I want to dance with your symphony. If there's no pain in the offering than how can I say I lived. When sacrifice is just daily life then joy and peace will be mine." ~Carrollton Band
Okay...I am going to tell you a crazy story about this song. When we got back from Mexico I heard it on a local radio station. I immediately LOVED it. I searched for the band and could not find it. I figured they had to be local or something. I heard the song like 2 more times over a couple weeks. I almost called the radio station to see how I could get a copy of this song...I love it that much. When I hear it, I think that my love...the breath in my lungs that he sings about...is loving the orphan child, that it is serving my Lord in another country. Ok...back to the story. So we went to Africa, got back and a few weeks later we went to a Digital Age concert. We walked in and one of the bands opening up for Digital Age was the Carrollton Band. I seriously about started jumping up and down. Of course I bought the CD! Turns out they are a local band and used to be called Mosteller. Recently they changed their name and got a record deal. That must be why I had trouble finding them. Now that I have the CD I listen to it ALL THE TIME! Seriously...they kids beg me to turn it off. If you want to hear it live go here...you won't regret it.
Back to the lyrics.
This is has been a song I pray...
"Burn bright in my life. Burn away the things I hold tight. Give me, Eyes to see, Your kingdom the way you want it to be. What can be worse, more than you? What do I have I wouldn't lose? If it means you and I look more alike that's what I choose. I'd give up the world to find my soul. Pour out my life, give you control. I just want to be what you want me to be. I just want a heart's that true, a heart like you.
As your waves, take shape. All my guilt start to fade. And your love, takes their place. I become a well of your grace, your grace. I'd give up the world to find my soul. Pour out my life, give you control. I just want to be what you want me to be. I just want a heart's that true, a heart like you. I don't mind the price it costs. When this fades away what's true remains.What can be worse, more than you? What do I have I wouldn't lose? I'd give up the world to find my soul. Pour out my life, give you control. I just want to be what you want me to be. I just want a heart's that true, a heart like you."
~Love and the Outcome
This is just two of the songs God has been using to help me sort through all this. However, there are more...maybe I will post those another day.
