New music and singing galore. Hillsongs, Kry (yay!), corinne bailey ray and mercy me...
I just got the new MercyMe album through the post (amazon baby! woot) and personally, i really like the layout of their CD and the sleeve...they called it undone, the lead singer said:
"We decided on the title 'undone' because it sums up where we are as a ministry and as individuals. We thought we knew where we were headed until Christ stepped in and everything came unravelled. I believe that is exactly where God wants us...undone. Incomplete. Unsettled with what we think is best, and embracing Christ, who knows what's best. Trust me, we will never know all the answers or have it all together, but thankfully, we know who does."
They put a line or two about each song before the lyrics for it...i like it...
Stand out lyrics -
In the blink of an eye
What they said about it : Life is too short to not live for something bigger.
You put me here for a reason
You have a mission for me
You knew my name and You called it
Long before i learned to breathe
Sometimes i feel disappointed
By the way i spend my time
How can i further Your kingdom
When im so caught up in mine?
In a blink of an eye that is when
I'll be closer to You than i've ever been
Time will fly, but until then
I'll embrace every moment i'm given
There's a reason im alive, for a blink of an eye.
Undone...
No apologies
For who im meant to be
The only thing that matters is
i am free
When i am overwhelmed
Holding pieces of my heart
When i feel my world
start to fall apart
To the cross i run
Holding high my chains undone
Now i am finally free
Free to be what i've become...undone.
Even in defeat
The face of tragedy
Still you'd have to say that
i found victory
in brokenness comes beauty
divine fragility
reminding me of nail scarred hands
reaching out for me
Went to Art Gallery on sunday...two paintings which stood out...
- First was of the storm when Jesus was sleeping, the artist drew the disciples actually drowning...showing i guess not what actually happened, but the state of their unbelief - the state of their faith. It scared me...because, i could see myself in that painting. I could see myself drowning. Was so much in it, won't write it all up here.
- Second was the simple drawing of the head and shoulders of Jesus. Amazing. Artist took the reason why i sit here saved and put it into its simplist form - Jesus dying for us. Nothing more and nothing less. It was just...i wanted to look at it and look away at the same time. Ink was running, so much pain there...
Worktime.
