The Honest Truth - Typhoon

I have been finding a lot of free(legal) music on both NoiseTrade.com and Magnifier for Google Music.  I came across this song while studying in the new CULC building and I really like the style of brass and drum combo.  At the time the lyrics really threw me for a loop.  Just listen to this song and do not follow the lyrics below and see if it has any strange wording to you.




The points of interest that really confused me was "Be Kind to all your Neighbors".  I was convinced that this section said something much more profain.  Basically in place of Neighbors it said the N'word.  Another section that stood out to me was the "Let the Devil in your Home".  To me that sounded like "Let the Heavenly God Hold you".  
Take a look at the lyrics below and investigate for yourself what the vocals say.


Eternity will smile
Eternity will smile
Eternity will smile
On me

I never said I was honest
I never said I was honest
But I am true
And I am true

We all see something different
We all recall something different
When we watch the parade go marching through

So be kind to all of your neighbors
Be kind to all of your neighbors
‘Cuz they’re just like you
They’re just like you

And you’re nothing special
Unless they are too

All my time I’ve walked a filed line
I held a vacant sign upon my eyelids
Oh my time, oh Lord, I’ve been so blind
But now I see the light peep through my doorjamb

Hallelujah, it will be gone soon, yeah
It will be gone soon, yeah
It will be gone soon, yeah

It’s just an empty room
This is our darkest cave
We’ll never see the day
But slowly make our way up to the mouth

You’re gonna piss and moan
You let the devil in your home
You let the devil in your home
You let the devil in your home

Piss and moan
You let the devil in your home
You let the devil in your home
You let the devil in your home
Devil in your home


All is Great from the First Floor

Alleluia - Jesus Culture with Martin Smith

Once again worship last night was Glorious!  Had a great day just chilling with my SDP folks from last summer, went up the river and just talked about the past season of life and where the Lord is leading us into.  Exciting and scary stuff but it was great to be back with some awesome people who speak some potent truth.   Last night during worship was one of many firsts...  For the first time in a long time I actually stood while I sang, for the first time in a long time I was singing from a place of Joy, for the first time in a long time I did not care how I worshiped my Lord I just worshiped.  Well its not like these things have not happened ever in my life, but I just felt so much peace during worship.  So I decided to throw the song that we just repeated for a long while up here, mainly cause I did not know the name so I was looking it up and now I am pumped, gotta buy this album!   All the angels cry out, Holy is the Lord God ...

Rise Again - Needtobreathe

I have been reading a book about the arts and Christians role in creating culture.  Steve Turner, the author, asserts a major critique that modern Christian art does not speak about real life.  The art created does not sound genuine or have any ties to real life that people outside the faith can connect with.  While reading the book I listened through this album and I think that this song does a great job of breaking the mold.  The members of Needtobreathe are all outspoken followers of Jesus but very little of the art that they produce mentions Jesus or Christianity at all.  Instead they craft creative music, written from places of pain and joy.   "Rise Again"  steps through pain that occurs in life as we see relationships stretched and torn.  The bitterness of broken hearts and friendships is then contrasted with the truth that we will get up from this pain and rise again.   "I can see us moving on, I can feel that coming on strong", the j...

Stones Under Rushing Water - Needtobreathe

Last weekend was the Big-Little retreat, where all of the associates and their Big Brothers bond over a weekend together.  I went this semester because I love camping and I am on the committee that planned the event.  On Friday night us brothers when for a hike down in Cloudland Canyon.  It was intensely dark but still an amazing sight of nature while its masked by night.  We found a waterfall that turned out to be great for an early morning worship time on Saturday.  We had some great conversation as we walked talking about life.  I loved being away from Tech for just two days and being at a place where the stresses of school could not effect me in the slightest. Once people started to head back to the cabin Borsch and I just stayed behind for some time in thought and prayer.  It was utterly amazing, just looking out into the canyon when I could not see a thing.  Yesterday I was thinking about this and I am not sure if t...
