That Boy Named Clark - Bahamas Preview

I'm going to blog more about my trip to the Bahamas, but for a glimpse into the people I had the pleasure of spending the week with, check out this video:

Some New Lyrics

So, it's been awhile since I've updated this thing, but I'm going to try to do better...To get things started again, here are lyrics to a song I've been listening to a lot lately.

"What Do I Know of Holy" - Addison Road

I made You promises a thousand times
I tried to hear from Heaven
But I talked the whole time
I think I made You too small
I never feared You at all No
If You touched my face would I know You?
Looked into my eyes could I behold You?

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

I guess I thought that I had figured You out
I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about
How You were mighty to save
Those were only empty words on a page
Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be
The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

(CHORUS 2)
What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?
And a God who gave life "its" name?
What do I know of Holy?
Of the One who the angels praise?
All creation knows Your name
On earth and heaven above
What do I know of this love?

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of Holy?

Something Beautiful

So it's been quite awhile since I've posted, but I wanted to share this song with you. If you don't know how I feel about songs and lyrics, go here. My current favorite song is on Needtobreathe's new album, The Outsiders. You should buy it. Trust me. But, yeah, these lyrics are awesome, and the music is good, too (which is why you should go ahead and buy the album). When I saw them in concert a few weeks ago, they did an "unplugged" version, and it was ah-mazing. Enjoy. You're welcome.

Something Beautiful

In your ocean I'm ankle deep,
I feel the waves crashing on my feet;
It's like I know where I need to be
But I can't figure out,
I can't figure out
Just how much air I will need to breathe
When your tide washes over me,
There's only one way to figure out
Will you let me drown?
Will you let me drown?

Hey now, this is my desire:
Consume me like a fire
Cause I just want something beautiful to touch me -
I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees
Waiting for something beautiful.
Oh-oh... something beautiful.

And the water is rising quick,
And for years I was scared of it.
We can't be sure when it will subside
So I won't leave your side,
No, I can't leave your side.

Hey now, this is my desire:
Consume me like a fire
'Cause I just want something beautiful to touch me -
I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees
Waiting for something beautiful.
Oh-oh... something beautiful,
Oh-oh... something beautiful.

In a daydream
I couldn't live like this
I wouldn't stop until I found something beautiful.
But when I wake up
And all I want, I have
You know it's still all I need - something beautiful.

Hey now, this is my desire:
Consume me like a fire
'Cause I just want something beautiful to touch me -
I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees
Waiting for something beautiful.
Oh-oh... something beautiful,
Oh-oh... something beautiful.

Come Awake

I love music. I have a soundtrack to life. Maybe one day I'll tell you more about that soundtrack, but for now, just know that I have it. Anyway, I love music. I particularly love lyrics. I mean the music has to be good, but the lyrics are usually what get me. So I thought I would share the lyrics to one of my favorite songs. It came on my iPod when it was on shuffle the other day, and it just reminded me how much I love it. It's on my soundtrack to life from 2008. I also put it on our team soundtrack from 2007. It's that good.

The lyrics are amazing, but the music, especially the rhythm, makes the song. So if you've never heard of it, you should definitely give it a listen. :) Here ya go.

Come Awake - David Crowder Band

Are we left here on our own?
Can you feel when your last breath is gone?
Night is weighing heavy now
Be quiet and wait for a voice that will say

Come awake
From sleep, arise
You were dead
You’ve come alive
Wake up wake up
Open your eyes
Climb from your grave
Into the light
Bring us back to life

You are not the only one
Who feels like the only one
Night soon will be lifted friend
Just be quiet and wait for the voice that will say

Come awake
From sleep, arise
You were dead
You’ve come alive
Wake up wake up
Open your eyes
Climb from your grave
Into the light
Bring us back to life

Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise

Rise, rise, rise, rise….
Shine, shine, Oh shine
We will shine
We will rise
We will shine, shine, shine
