So I'm currently listening to Amy Grant's new cd, "Rock of Ages...Hymns and Faith." Ya know, is it really possible for someone to get better and better with each record? Yes, it is. Amy's music continues to inspire and encourage us. Each lyric is very personal and has something to say about where in life she is right now and we get wrapped up in her music and we can relate to her struggles and her triumphs.
The first song is called "Anywhere With Jesus," and I defy anyone to listen to this and NOT rock in your seat and tap your feet and move your head from side to side. We're talking church here, folks! Down south, roof is rocking and people are praising CHURCH! I love this kind of worship service.
The 2nd song is slower, more deep and pulls on the heart strings. It makes you want to stop whatever it is you're doing and get on your knees and close your eyes and remember that we are not alone. If God brought you to it, He'll bring you through it.
Carry You by Amy Grant
Lay down your burden
I will carry you, I will carry you my child, my child
Lay down your burden
I will carry you, I will carry you my child, my child
'Cause I can walk on water
Calm a restless sea
I've done a thousand things you've never done
And I'm really watching
While you struggle on your own
Call my name, I'll come
::chorus::
I give vision to the blind
I can raise the dead
I've seen the darker side of hell
and I've returned
I've seen those sleepless nights
And count every tear you cry
Some lessons hurt to learn
::chorus::
Now I was raised Christian. Was forced to go to Church every Sunday and Wednesday night. I am not religious now and don't agree with religion. However, I am spiritual and believe in God. I don't go to church because it's nobody's business how I live my life. The only one to whom I will have to answer is the one who made me...
I am certainly not afraid to turn up my worship music and praise the Lord! I encourage you to do the same. It feels really good. ;-)
Peace and blessings...
