My family has just started a "Secular Music Fast" where we only listen to worship music for a while. I think it's a great idea, even though it's hard. :) Actually, the fact that it's hard confirms all the more that I probably need it. Anyway, I was looking through a bunch of my CDs, and I came across one by Jars of Clay--I think it was my brother's, because he loves that band. Anyway, the third track on the CD is this:
"Love Song for a Savior"
In open fields of wild flowers,
she breathes the air and flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daises and the roses
in no simple language
Someday she'll understand
the meaning of it all
He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on her lips
Someday she'll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call her and she will come running
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and she'll pray,
"I want to fall in love with You"
Sitting silent wearing Sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
A great salvation through it calls to the people
who stare into nowhere, and can't feel the chains on their souls
He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on our lips
Someday we'll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call us and we will come running
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and we'll pray,
"I want to fall in love with You"
It seems too easy to call you "Savior",
Not close enough to call you "God"So as I sit and think of words I can mention
to show my devotion
"I want to fall in love with You"
"my heart beats for You"
Given the "theme" of this blog, I thought it was a fitting song to post. :) Hope it gave a little sunshine to your day!
p.s. I think the lyrics are correct, but I found them online, so you never really know. :)

hi katie! Ah, I loooove that jars of clay song! They are also one of my fav bands. I love this part: "It seems too easy to call you Savior, not close enough to call you God." So true isn't it?
Btw- do you listen to any christian radio stations? If you can find one in your area like KLove or the Message, that's a great way to keep listening to Christian music!!
love, maddie
Hi katie! thanks for your comments! My brother read Three Musketeers and said it was really good and that one has been on my list. And I'll definitely have to try Tale of Two Cities!
It is really weird/awesome how much we have in common! Do you wanna start emailing or something? If so, my email address is on my profile. Shoot me an email any time! -Maddie
