This past week I found myself praising God through song... Secular song. The genre is considered Adult Contemporary and is written and performed by the group Sister Hazel. These two songs that pulled at me, I've copied the lyrics below. I will break them down a little but I want you to break them down even further when you have more time. The first song is "All for you". The Title starts out strong, then the first verse builds. This first verse reminds me a little bit of my Christian walk. The part I really like is when it says, "...all my roads, Well they lead to you. I just can't turn and walk away". I just relate this whole song to someone coming into The Faith and reflecting where they are now and where they've come from. Another key part of the verse for me was, "words without a sound, coming from your eyes".... truly a look that Jesus does best. I've seen this look from people God has intentionally put in my path. It's the look that burns deep into your soul and moves you to action.
The second song is "This Kind of Love", and I could see myself singing this to God (infact I was this past week......at least all the words I could remember). The song mentions Faith, Hope, and Love....doesnt continue with the greatest of these is Love, but you can see a pattern. I caught myself on Friday just Wailing this song. I was absolutely singing it to my God!
I hope you'll look into at least these two songs of Sister Hazel. Maybe you are the one that is at the point of, "It's hard to say what it is I see in you...." but you know that you have that relationship with God. Maybe you know where you've been, and now you have fallen in Love so deeply with our Jesus and it's just hard to explain?. The next step is to find someone and talk to them about it. I suggest talking to a pastor, youth pastor, campus minister, a friend that you know has already made that Faith choice.....and if they dont work out....there is always me! I'd love to help you in your journey....just let me know! And I'll try not to be too blunt, 'cause I've been there too.
With that said, y'all go listen to some Sister Hazel and read these lyrics......And sing LOUD to our God!!!!
Peace y'all Have a Great Easter!
All For You~Sister Hazel
Finally I figured out
But it took a long long time
And now there's a turnabout
Maybe cause I'm trying
There's been times, I'm so confused
All my roads
Well they lead to you?
I just can't turn
And walk away
It's hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always be with you
Words can't say, I can't do
Enough to prove it's all for you
And I thought I'd seen it all
Cause it's been a long long time
Oh but then we'll trip and fall
Wondering if I'm blind
There's been times
I'm so confused
All my roads
Well they lead me to you?
I just can't turn
And walk away
It's hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always be with you
But words can't say, I can't do
Enough to prove it's all for you
Rain comes pouring down
(Pouring down)
Falling from blue skies
(Falling from blue skies)
Words without a sound
Coming from your eyes
finally I figured out
But it took a long long time
And now there's a turnabout
Maybe cause I'm trying
There's been times
I'm so confused
All my roads
Well they lead to you?
I just can't turn
And walk away
It's hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always be with you
But words can't say, I can't do
Enough to prove it's all for you
It's hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always be with you
But words can't say, I can't do
Enough to prove it's all for you
It's hard to say,
Yea it's hard to say,
It's all for you
This Kind of Love~Sister Hazel
This kind of love makes me feel ten feet tall
It makes all my problems fall
This kind of trust helps me to hold the line
I'll be there every time
(chorus)
This kind of love is what I dreamed about
Yeah, it fills me up
It leaves no doubt
This kind of love it's why I'm standing here
It's something that we can share
I can't get enough of this kind of love
This kind of hope is what I try to find
And now I can't deny I believe
This kind of faith is so unshakeable
It's unmistakeable
It's bigger than me
(chorus)
Your love can move a mountain
It makes my world go round
Its always there to guide me
I'm so lucky that I found
This kind of love it's what I dreamed about
Yeah it fills me up
Well baby it leaves no doubt
This kind of love it's why I'm standing here
It's something we can share
I can't get enough of this kind of love
This kind of love
