Music

Right now I am listening to music, something I don't do a lot of these days. But I love music, and when I feel I need a spiritual "recharge", music with Christian lyrics help me a lot. 

An old song by Jars of Clay called Love Song for a Savior was remixed by them, and I like the new version too. The words are really good. The most important to me, the chorus singing to Jesus "I want to fall in love with you..." repeated over and over. This is not something to just forget about. 

I also still like listening to some Matisyahu songs that are a couple years old already(yikes! time goes fast). While we don't share some core beliefs, his songs remind me of reading Psalms make me think of King David in the bible. Lyrics from King without a Crown that I love...

"Strip away the layers and reveal your soul

Got to give yourself up and then you become whole

You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know
You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow
If you're trying to stay high then you're bound to stay low
You want God but you can't deflate your ego
If you're already there then there's nowhere to go
If you're cup's already full then its bound to overflow"

"What's this feeling? My love will rip a hole in the ceiling 

I give myself to you from the essence of my being 

And I sing to my God, songs of love and healing"
