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

“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
I don't wanna "look inside myself"/Cause then I'd have to change something/And I don't wanna live like someone else/I'm happy in my skin, being myself/Let's dance!
~Hawk Nelson
