So one of the somewhat pleasant things about my somewhat long drive to work everyday is that I get to catch up on my love of music. Anybody who's ever lived with me will tell you that I have the most random taste in music. Some songs you'll be like...Yeah, of course you have that song. Everybody has that song. Some you'll be like...You're seriously listening to that?!?! Or you'll be like...Wha? Never heard this song before or even the artist. If by chance you've never heard one of the songs on my list I encourage you to give them a listen.
The secret behind my kickass play list is that I don't stick to just one genre. If a song has good lyrics that I can understand and are meaningful to me or has a catchy beat it's on my playlist. So see for yourself and have a listen...

You might be the wife,
Waiting up at night
You might be the man,
Struggling to provide
Feeling like it's hopeless
Maybe you're the son,
Who chose a broken road
Maybe you're the girl,
Thinking you'll end up alone
Praying God can you hear me?
Oh God are you listening?
(Chorus)
Am I more than flesh and bone?
Am I really something beautiful?
Yeah, I wanna believe, I wanna believe that
I'm not just some wandering soul
That you don't see and you don't know
Yeah I wanna believe, Jesus help me believe that I
Am someone worth dying for
I know you've heard the truth that God has set you free
But you think you're the one that grace could never reach So you just keep asking, what everybody's asking
Chorus
You're worth it, you can't earn it
Yeah the Cross has proven
That you're sacred and blameless
Your life has purpose
You are more than flesh and bone
Can't you see you're something beautiful
Yeah you gotta believe, you gotta believe
He wants you to see, He wants you to see
That you're not just some wandering soul
That can't be seen and can't be known
Yeah you gotta believe, you gotta believe that you
Are someone worth dying for
You're someone worth dying for
You're someone worth dying for I love this song! I listen to it anytime I need to feel uplifted. I am someone worth dying for and someone did die for me. His name is Jesus and He's my Lord and Savior!
During fall semester last year Bethel had Jars of Clay come and perform. The last song they sang was Shelter and I absolutely LOVE this song. So I wanted to share it all with you. I think the message of it is pretty extraordinary.
They aren't actually performing Shelter in this shot. I didn't get one of them singing that song. :)
To all who are looking down
Holding onto hearts still wounding
For those who’ve yet to find it
The places near where love is moving
Cast off the robes you’re wearing
Set aside the names that you’ve been given
May this place of rest in the fold of your journey
Bind you to hope, you will never walk alone
In the shelter of each other, we will live, we will live
In the shelter of each other, we will live, we will live
Your arms are all around us
If our hearts have turned to stone
There is hope, we know the rocks will cry out
And the tears aren’t ours alone
Let them fall into the hands that hold us
Come away from where you’re hiding
Set aside the lies that you’ve been living
May this place of rest in the fold of your journey
Bind you to hope that we will never walk alone
If there is any peace, if there is any hope
We must all believe, our lives are not our own
We all belong
God has given us each other
And we will never walk alone
"The LORD God said, "It is not good for man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."-Genesis 2:18
