Gungor - Ezekiel

This song is a beautiful musical piece!  To be honest I never really listened to the lyrics but the song just blows me away.  Gungor creates amazing music that captures the emotion of the lyrics so well.  As I let them wash over me right now they send chills up my spin.  

This song is a story of our relationship with the Lord.  We slept with strangers and we gave them everything, we cheated on our one love, the Lord.  We worshiped another master, we lived of this world, and now he is calling us back to himself.  

I thank you Father that you take us back even in our broken and bleeding situation.  We can never fix ourselves to become "ok" in your eyes.  We must rest in the fact that your son paid the price to be able to return to union with you.  Now we must walk by your Spirit and not break that union.  All I know is that I fail to sustain that Union and fall to the temptations of this world all to often.  And once again you take me back with all of my faults and intentional rebellions.

I found you naked
I found you lying there
In blood.

Your mother left you,
Your father threw you out.
Unloved.

I clothed your body
I washed the blood and dirt
From your hair.

I gave you jewelry
I gave you everything
I had.

I gave My heart
My heart, My love
I gave my heart,
My heart, My love

You became like
You were a stunning Bride
The world, they saw you
And how you loved their wives
My Bride

You broke My heart
My heart, My love
You broke My heart
My heart, My love.

You sold your body;
Exposed to all, My love
You slept with Stranger
You gave them everything we had.

Come back, My love
My love, come back.
Come back, My love.
My love, come back.

All is Great in the Lord

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...
