Gotta keep singing.

So, I bought the MercyMe cd, "Undone." It's really cool. I love the variety on it and yet the way it continues to reflect a love and a passion for God. I have never heard these guys compromise their sound or thier music. Very refreshing. But I was listening to thier song, "Keep Singing" and it, well here are the lyrics:
Another rainy day/ I can't recall having sunshine on my face/ All I feel is pain/ All I wanna do is walk out of this place/ But when I am stuck, I can't move/ When I don't know what I should do/ When I wonder if I'll ever make it through//But I gotta keep singing/ I gotta keep praising Your Name/ You're the one that's keeping my heart beating/I gotta keep singing/I gotta keep praising Your Name/That's the only way That I'll find healing/Can I climb up in Your lap/I don't wanna leave/Jesus sing over me/I gotta keep singing//Oh You're everything I need/I gotta keep singing

Man, the more I hear this cd, the more I just love it. I love MercyMe....here's another one that's really good, "Where You Lead Me."
What is life/A thousand roads a thousand ways/and why am I/so afraid to move/I crossed the line/I'm stepping out so come what may/I'll give it all/Cause I'm drawn to You/As long as my heart is beating//Where You lead me, I will follow/Where You lead me, I'll give my life away/Where You lead me, I will follow/Forever and a day//I can't deny/ Your very presence is my life/And why would I/ever turn away/cause deep inside/I know that I can not rely/on anything/less than faith/as long as my heart is beating/this is all I'm dreaming of/to live completely in Your love.

I think that it's interesting that I can relate to all these songs, at this point in my life right now. I have sorrow and pain that I'm dealing with. I am also devoting my life to God and following Him wherever He may lead, no matter the cost, yet I am also praising Him and letting His love fill my soul. I just think it is amazing how many different emotions one can feel or how many different experiences can be happening all at once. Y'know? Maybe none of this makes sense. It's just what's on my heart right now. Buy this cd. It's awesome.

(this cd is sooooo good. Go get it! It's drenched in love for Jesus!)
