Two Lights October 22, 2008

I found this tribute to our soldiers in Iraq on Youtube this morning…really good. Enjoy this and…thank you.

 

“Two Lights”

Five for Fighting

What is courage
Is it brave
What are lions
I’ve only seen them in parades
How is love supposed to read
In a footnote of history
What’s a tap on your shoulder
That you’re afraid to look over
A soldier’s down in a fire fight
No one can look me in the eye

This is what it means to be alone.

Tear out my heart
Feed it to lions
For this one wish I beg you this tonight
Show me no mercy
But spare me my pride
I’m going for a drive

And if you find out he’s coming home
When I come around the corner
I’ll know that it’s alright
Just leave me two lights

He was young just 23
Didn’t have to go
But it was the man he wanted to be
Like every son he was an only one
One day he came to me, said
Freedoms nothing to look over
Till each man can stand upon its shoulder
I’ll right you mountains of letters
Each one a little bit better
And know I’ll never be alone

Tear out my heart
Feed it to lions
For this one wish I beg you this tonight
Show me no mercy
But spare me my pride
I’m going for a drive

And if you find out he’s coming home
When I come around the corner
I’ll know that it’s alright
Leave me two lights

Silent angels
Light the road up ahead
As the sentries guard the way
On the avenue of borrowed time

I’m almost home
The sun’s to rise
I got to know
I’ve been driving all the night
There’s our corner up ahead
I’m alive and I am dead
I drive right through the stop sign
I turn my head
As I lift my eyes
My eyes burn

Tear out my heart
Feed it to lions
For this one wish I beg you this tonight
Show me no mercy
Spare me my pride

I’m going for a drive

We Need to Reevalute US Involvement August 25, 2008

I found this on my friend C.J.’s Facebook…love it!

Every day there are news reports about more deaths. Every night on TV there are photos of death and destruction.

Why are we still there?

We occupied this land, which we had to take by force, but it causes us nothing but trouble.

Why are we still there?

Many of our children go there and never come back.

Why are we still there?

Their government is unstable, and they have sloppy leadership.

Why are we still there?

Many of their people are uncivilized.

Why are we still there?

The place is subject to natural disasters, from which we are supposed to bail them out.

Why are we still there?

There are many hostile religious sects, which we do not understand.

Why are we still there?

Their folkways, foods, and fads are unfathomable to ordinary Americans.

Why are we still there?

We can’t even secure the borders.

Why are we still there?

They are billions of dollars in debt and it will cost billions more to rebuild, which we can’t afford.

Why are we still there?

It is becoming VERY clear . . . WE MUST PULL OUT OF CALIFORNIA ! ! !

Wherever You Will Go August 15, 2008

This song’s so sweet…:)

Wherever You Will Go

The Calling

So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I’m gone you’ll need love to light the shadows on your face
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone could you make it on your own?

CHORUS:
If I could, then I would
I’ll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low, I’ll go wherever you will go

And maybe, I’ll find out
A way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guard you, through the darkest of your days
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Well then I hope there’s someone out there
who can bring me back to you

CHORUS
If I could, then I would
I’ll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low, I’ll go wherever you will go

Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart, in your mind I’ll stay with you for all of time

CHORUS
If I could, then I would
I’ll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low, I’ll go wherever you will go

If I could turn back time
I’ll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I’ll go wherever you will go
I’ll go wherever you will go

This is a hilarious parody of Linkin Park’s “In the End” by the band Apologetix. Enjoy!

 

36 Days July 27, 2008

Awww…

36 Days

Hawk Nelson

Gone away far from home, the weekend’s over
Lets pack up and start again
Twenty days on the road, just left Port Dover
with 16 days to go

I just called my mom to tell her that I miss her
I just wrote my girl, man I can’t remember the last time I kissed her
Soon I’ll be at home with all my friends
After 36 days on the road

Lights go down, the noise has faded
We’ll leave this town anticipated
Soon we’ll be back on the road again

All is lost but not forgetten
One by one the fights we’ve fought
And soon we’ll be back on the road again
For 36 days

We turn around face the crowd
We’re starting over this time north of L.A
Once again here we are,its a new beginning
I’d leave this life any day

I feel so alive, though a part of me is gone
And this life I lead, is the life that I dreamed of
Since i was the age of 12
And I’ll sing with all that is within me
After 36 days on the road

Lights do down the noise has faded
We leave this town anticipated
Soon we’ll be back on the road again
All is lost, but not forgotten
One by one the fights we’ve fought
And soon we’ll be back on the road again
And soon we’ll be back on the road again
Soon we’ll be back on the road again
For thirty-six days

Forever and Ever, Etc. July 27, 2008

This one’s an awesome worship song by the David Crowder Band! Enjoy!

Forever and Ever, Etc.

David Crowder Band

Love so incredible to know
It’s never gonna go, never gonna go
Love too impossible and true
For anyone but You, for anyone but You

I think I’m on the brink of something large
Maybe like the breaking of the dawn
Maybe like a match being lit
Or the sinking of a ship, letting go gives a better grip

I’m finding everything I’ll ever need
By giving up gaining everything
Falling for You for eternity
Right here at Your feet
Where I wanna be
I am Yours

Love so indelible to know
You’re never gonna go, you’re never gonna go
Love too unthinkable and true
For anyone but You, for anyone but You

Maybe like a match being lit
Or the sinking of a ship, letting go gives a better grip

I’m finding everything I’ll ever need
By giving up gaining everything
Falling for You for eternity
Right here at Your feet
Where I wanna be

I’m finding everything I’ll ever need
By giving up gaining everything
Falling for You for eternity
Right here at Your feet
Where I wanna be

I am yours
I’m finding everything I’ll ever need
By giving up gaining everything
Falling for You for eternity
Right here at Your feet
Where I wanna be

I’m finding everything I’ll ever need
By giving up gaining everything
Falling for You for eternity
Right here at Your feet
Where I wanna be

I am Yours

Forever and ever and ever and ever
Forever and ever and ever and ever
and ever and ever and ever and ever
Forever and ever and ever and ever
Forever and ever and ever and ever
Forever and ever and ever and ever
Forever and ever and ever and ever
and ever and ever and ever and ever
and ever

Undying July 17, 2008

Here’s a song I’ve enjoyed a lot. I especially like the chorus, and favourite bits are once again bolded!

Undying by Demon Hunter

Ever since the day that I was made I’ve been deciding the end
And I was made of wood and stone that won’t diminish or bend
So when the heavy hand of death is here to take me away
I’ll be the solid grip of time, forever holding my stay
Nobody ever made a force that took a beating like me
I call the earth and every scum to come and try to fight me
Cause when I made the choice to live beyond the dirt that we tread
I felt the curse of mortal limit fall before it was said

Pre-chorus:
When this season ends

Chorus:
One final heart-break
And blinding lights will guide our way
Free us our blind state
They will call us by our name
Undying

Tearing through these days I find the tolerance to strive and push on
I know what lies beyond this life for me is already won
No one can take away the blood that covers over my fall
Without the blood of perfect life I know I’m nothing at all
So now I reign forever hallowed in eternity’s hand
No man can shake me from the everlasting ground that I stand

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

We are the ones who will still remain when all is laid to waste
We are the ones who, when angels cry, will see them face to face
We are the ones

(Chorus)

Hold On July 12, 2008

I really like this song; it seems to be giving great encouragement to a friend. Sometimes holding on is the best thing to do! Favourite parts are once again bolded!

“Hold On”

Jonas Brothers
We don’t have time left to regret (hold on)
It will take more than common sense (hold on)
So stop your wondering, take a stand (hold on)
There’s more to life than just to live (hold on)

Cause an empty room can be so loud
It’s too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

One single smile, a helping hand (hold on)
It’s not that hard to be a friend (hold on)
So don’t give up, stand ’til the end (hold on)
There’s more to life than just to live (hold on)

Cause an empty room can be so loud
It’s too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

When you love someone
And they break your heart
Don’t give up on love
Have faith, restart
Just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

When it falls apart
And your feeling lost
All your hope is gone
Don’t forget to hold on, hold on

Cause an empty room can be so loud
It’s too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

When you love someone
And they break your heart
Don’t give up on love
Have faith, restart
Just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Cause an empty room can be so loud
It’s too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

When you love someone
And they break your heart
Don’t give up on love
Have faith, restart
Just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

“Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)” July 5, 2008

I came across this song by Alan Jackson recently, and thought it was definitely worth posting. Favourite bits are once again bolded!

“Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)”

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day
Out in the yard with your wife and children
Working on some stage in LA
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of
That black smoke rising against that blue sky
Did you shout out in anger
In fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry

Did you weep for the children
Who lost their dear loved ones
And pray for the ones who don’t know
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below

Did you burst out in pride
For the red white and blue
The heroes who died just doing what they do
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself to what really matters

I’m just a singer of simple songs
I’m not a real political man
I watch CNN but I’m not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day
Teaching a class full of innocent children
Driving down some cold interstate
Did you feel guilty cause you’re a survivor
In a crowded room did you feel alone
Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her
Did you dust off that Bible at home
Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened
Close your eyes and not go to sleep
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
Speak with some stranger on the street
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Go out and buy you a gun
Did you turn off that violent old movie you’re watching
And turn on “I Love Lucy” reruns
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some stranger
Stand in line and give your own blood
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love

I’m just a singer of simple songs
I’m not a real political man
I watch CNN but I’m not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love

I’m just a singer of simple songs
I’m not a real political man
I watch CNN but I’m not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love

The greatest is love
The greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day

“For the Ladies”-good stuff here! June 19, 2008

Great song I was listening to tonight. Really all I can say is: Bravo!

(My favorite parts are bolded!)

(The video is just a picture, but hey, that’s ok)

“For the Ladies” by KJ-52

This is for the ladies, all the ladies all around the world
This is for the ladies, this is dedicated now to every single girl
This is for the ladies

Alright, I don’t care I wanna say this on the mic
Right now right here in the place it’s ladies night
I know I might just sound crazy right
There’s some things thats goin down and its time to make it right
The world will tell you you gotta be a certain type, look a certain way,
And just be a certain size
Do what they say and it’ll just be “alright”
Girl the only thing you gotta be doin is servin Christ
6 years ago I was blessed with a wife
She was sweet and lovely and beautiful and nice
But the one thing that just made her my type
Was the fact that Christ was #1 up in her life
So take my advice
Forget them Hollywood stars, and them Hollywood hair
And them Hollywood cars
Next time you thinkin’ that you ain’t up to par
Remember God made you beautiful just the way you are

Sick of BET, sick of MTV,
I’m sick of the sex that they always used to selling me
I’m sick of the messed up images they showin me
Im sick and tired of the messes that they say to me
That women are nothing more than sexual property
It’s time we come back to treatin women properly
So what I gotta say, I’ll say it real loudly
We oughta be treatin’ all women like royalty
Only God should be speakin what you gotta be
Only God can give you the love you gonna need
Ladies, if a guy won’t treat you as you ought to be
Tell him goodbye, show him the door, and where to leave
Don’t be afraid just to tell a guy to wait for me
Don’t be ashamed just to live your life in purity
See what I say, I just say it now with certainty
That God has so much more if you’ll wait and see

On a final note I wanna dedicate this song
To all the godly women that just keep on seeking God
Just keep on movin and continue standin strong
Keep doin what you doin girl you got it goin on
And the single moms thats just barely holdin on
And you’re workin two jobs tryin to make it on your own
No one is home cause the kid’s dad is gone
God promises to never ever leave you alone
The final thing that I’ll say then I’m gone
To the female singers tryin to get their pose on
Now I ain’t tryin to be a hata but wrong is just wrong
Now Britney and J-Lo, please put some clothes on!
Whether yall are red-headed or just a blonde
Make sure that the Son is the one you focus on
And with that said, I’m gonna say “so long”
So get your hand up in the air, ladies, and sing along
