Have you heard this song? Have you heard of this band, The Script? I just watched this video. I love it. I can't embed it but it's a great song. Go, check it.
I LOVE this song and this video. I do enjoy me some good AAR. I know I shouldn't like this because it doesn't have the best message or the best words but.... Oh how I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! (I may or may not dance like Elaine Benes while listening to it )
These two songs touched my heart today. The first one made me think of my dad and the second I needed because I was missing him.
Homeward Bound
In the quiet misty morning when the moon has gone to bed, When the sparrows stop their singing and the sky is clear and red. When the summer’s ceased its gleaming, When the corn is past its prime, When adventure’s lost its meaning, I’ll be homeward bound in time.
Bind me not to the pasture, chain me not to the plow. Set me free to find my calling and I’ll return to you somehow.
If you find it’s me you're missing, if you’re hoping I’ll return. To your thoughts I’ll soon be list’ning, and in the road I’ll stop and turn. Then the wind will set me racing as my journey nears its end. And the path I’ll be retracing when I’m homeward bound again.
Bind me not to the pasture, chain me not to the plow. Set me free to find my calling and I’ll return to you somehow.
In the quiet misty morning when the moon has gone to bed, When the sparrows stop their singing, I’ll be homeward bound again.

Small Enough
Oh great God Be small enough To hear me now There were times when I was crying From the dark of Daniel's den I had asked you once or twice If you would part the sea again Tonight I do not need a Fiery pillar in the sky Just want to know you're gonna Hold me if I start to cry
Oh great God Be small enough to hear me now Oh great God Be close enough to feel you now (Oh great god be close to me) There have been moments when I could not face Goliath on my own And how could I forget we marched Around our share of Jerichos But I will not be setting out A fleece for you tonight Just wanna know that everything will be alright Oh great god be close enough to feel me now
All praise and all the honor be To the god of ancient mysteries Whose every sign and wonder Turn the pages of our history But tonight my heart is heavy And I cannot keep from whispering this prayer Are you there?
And I know you could leave writing On the wall that's just for me Or send wisdom while I'm sleeping Like in Solomon's sweet dreams But I don't need the strength of Sampson Or a chariot in the end Just wanna know that you still know how many Hairs are on my head Oh great God (Are you small enough) Be small enough to hear Me now
One of my online friends had a post about how "God is o.k. with us broken, foolish people." And I couldn't agree more. In fact there is a song that I have heard on the radio the last few Sundays that has really touched me. It's called Broken and it's by Kenneth Cope.
I searched for the lyrics but couldn't find them. But what do you know? Someone's put together something on You Tube with this music. I love it. It reminds me, as did my friends post, that my Heavenly Father loves me. Broken me.
