Music ~ Part I

A while ago, I buzzed a comment asking what people would like me to blog on next. Out of three people, two asked for a blog on music. The third asked for a hole-pick in musicals - something which, although I love them, I am looking forward to doing. To start with, I'm going to cover my MP3 in several blog posts. :D That might give you a kind of idea of what I listen to. I also may post links of songs that are special for me, and/or the lyrics that make that particular song stand out. I'm expecting participation in my Buzz and my comments on here, since you asked for this! :D To start with, I'm a weird person, and my ranges, like my moods, are wild, weird and wonderful. Ie, varied. I'm not going to go through and tell you every button on my MP3, because listing "Record Now", "Now Playing", "Music", "Genre", isn't anything to do with it. Go on, smile....you thought I was being blonde. :P And no, dear politically correct people, ...

Song of Gomer

New favourite, by Michael Card. Unfortunately, I can't find a video anywhere of him singing this, so I'll just post the lyrics. :) Hope it blesses you too! Song of Gomer Don’t know what He sees in me, he is spirit, he is free And I, the wife of adultery, Gomer is my name Simply more than I can see how he keeps on forgiving me How he keeps his sanity; Hosea, you’re a fool Chorus: A fool to love someone like me, a fool to suffer silently But sometimes through your eyes I see, I’d rather be a fool. The fondness of a father, the passion of a child The tenderness of a loving friend, an understanding smile All of this and so much more you’ve lavished on a faithless whore I’ve never known love like this before; Hosea, you’re a fool CHORUS This God of yours would not have told To lift a love that you couldn’t hold And though time and time again I flee I’m always glad to see you coming after me Simply more than I can see, how he keeps on forgiving me The wife of adultery, and Gomer is m...

In Response to My Letter

Sitting in the car on the way to church yesterday, mulling over what was going on between my best friend and I, I was scrolling up and down through my MP3 player list. I listened to Judy Rogers' "Angel Face" - Angel face, you cannot serve two masters. Angel face, the world will leave you cold and alone! Angel face, you're headin' for disaster; Can't you hear your Father callin'? "Angel face, come back home." I unwillingly, yet with longing, played Michael Card's "I Have Decided" - There's a wealth of things that I professed Or said that I believed. But deep inside I never changed - I guess I've been deceived. And a voice inside kept telling me That I'd change by and by. But the Spirit made it clear to me - That kind of life's a lie! I have decided I'm gonna live like a believer, Turn my back on the deceiver, Gonna live what I believe. I have decided Being good is just a fable; I just can't cause I'm not a...
