I love long road trips because it gives you time to pray, listen, and just plain rock out to old cd's. This weekend was no exception for and my victims (wife and baby) who got to sit and hear me sing.
I heard a few songs and they brought back some very cool memories for me:
Listen to our hearts by Geoff Moore & SCC
This song hits me in a few ways b/c it was at a time when I was broken and lost. It was also a time when I first started to see that very sexy lady Leah Jo, lol. Every time it comes on it is bittersweet because that is a time in my life, I would never ever want to change. This is my favorite lines to the song;
We will use the words we know
To tell you what an awesome God You are
But words are not enough
To tell you of our love
So listen to our hearts
Top of my lungs by P,C &D
This song will forever remind me of my the pregnancy of my first child. Every time this song comes on, I turn it up and rock out. Its like giving God total praise and nothing even considering who or what is next to you, looking at you, or just thinks you are crazy. I am so amazed and grateful and God has allowed Leah to have a supernatural 36.5 weeks so far and that the unknown is going so smooth. Check out these lyrics;
Words of worship
Rise like a river within me
Thoughts to express are so many
Wanna bless You, God
Can’t be silent
I think of the mercies You show me
My lips begin overflowing
Great is Your love
Such gratitude
For all that You do
Jesus to You
These guys are really becoming a fan of Phillips, Craig and Dean because everything they make seems to have one main focus and that is to praise God.
A few more songs...
Praise you in this storm by Casting Crowns
This song brings back all the memories about buying out first house in Lansing. It took a lot for me to make a decision and it was not until I knew relaxed in God, then things were great.
I belong to you by Rev. Rance Allen
This song goes way back b/c in my childhood. I used to pretend that I was a preacher and we played church in our bedroom. My brother and sister took care of the worship and I brought the word. My mother used to play gospel music all day on Sunday and we would sign along. I miss the closeness I had with my sibling and the fun we had in church.
I love singing and listening to lyrics of songs. So many forms to listen to (worship, praise, contemporary, and hymns, etc.) I fall in the worship area, and enjoy mediation and spend time with God and thanking him for all his blessing.
What song and style are you??

I like how songs have a way of bringing you back to different parts of your life... i have a few of those but a song that is in the top 3 for me would be "Come thou Fount of Every Blessing". love it. always will.
