What are you listening right now?

I love the song "Hallelujah"...a LOT. I prefer the Rufus Wainwright version, but going through Youtube related videos..I found myself watching this young man on an X Factor talent show (in Australia I think) singing it. I searched his actual name and came upon him singing the entire song. At the time of the show he was only 15 years old, so I imagine this came out not too long after. Such an amazing voice for such a young dude.

At Your Feet, by Casting Crowns

Here at Your feet, I lay my past down
My wanderings, all my mistakes down
And I am free

Here at Your feet, I lay this day down

Not in my strength, but in Yours I’ve found
All I need, You’re all I need

Jesus, Jesus, at Your feet

Oh, to dwell and never leave
Jesus, Jesus, at Your feet
There is nowhere else for me
There is nowhere else for me

Here at Your feet, I lay my future down

All of my dreams, I give to You now
And I find peace, I find peace
Here at Your feet, I lay my life down
For You my King, You’re all I want now
And my soul sings…

‘Cause I am free (here at Your feet)

All I need (is at Your feet)
I find peace
We’re at Your feet
We’re at Your feet

And I am free (here at Your feet)

All I need (is at Your feet)
I find peace
We’re at Your feet
We’re at Your feet
We’re at Your feet
We’re at Your feet

Here at Your feet

I lay my life down

Forever Reign, by Newsboys

Love this song.

You are good, You are good
When there’s nothing good in me
You are love, You are love
On display for all to see
You are light, You are light
When the darkness closes in
You are hope, You are hope
You have covered all my sin

You are peace, You are peace

When my fear is crippling
You are true, You are true
Even in my wandering
You are joy, You are joy
You’re the reason that I sing
You are life, You are life
In You death has lost its sting

I’m running to Your arms

I’m running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares
To Your embrace
Light of the world
Forever reign

You are more, You are more

Than my words will ever say
You are Lord, You are Lord
All creation will proclaim
You are here, You are here
In Your presence I’m made whole
You are God, You are God
Of all else I’m letting go

My heart will sing

No other name
Jesus, Jesus

So Help Me, God, by Fireflight

you sit beside me
And I love you
But I hate you
I don't want to feel this way
But I can't stop
you reach for my hand
But I move it
Before you can
I won't let you have the
Power once again

[Chorus:]
So help me, God
To let this go
To let this go
So help me, God
(Become what I believe)
To break this hold
(I'm afraid to leave)
To find myself
(I just need to breathe)

you think you know me

But you changed me
Into somebody
That I don't ever want to be again
I'm letting go now
Of this burden
I've been holding
I've been hurting myself now for way too long

[Chorus]

It's not too late

It's not too late
To leave it all behind
It's not too late
It's not too late

[Chorus x2]

You Decide, by Fireflight

I love this band right now.

Fiction and reality collide
Faceless and so busted up inside
You've been searching you've been crying out
Will you be destroyed by all your doubt?

You decide

(Who will you run to)
Wrong or right
(There is no reason)
For you to hide
Only love can change your life
You decide

God is calling out to you again

Let Him pull you, let Him take you in
From the fear that swallows up for your life
Will you stay the same or will you fight?

You decide

(Who will you run to)
Wrong or right
(There is no reason)
For you to hide
Only love can change your life
Only love can change your life

Every day you hold on to your lonely broken heart

(It's tearing you apart)
God is calling out to you just let healing start
(Will you open up and let Him in)

You decide

(Who will you run to)
Wrong or right
(There is no reason)
For you to hide
Only love can change your life
You decide
 
I'm listening to this piece of music, from about a minute in it has a section that just sends shivers down my spine. Such a powerful piece of music:

As the Deer

Learning to play this song on the keyboard currently. So soothing and heartfelt.

You, by The Afters

My heart is as frail as a dove
And my spirit is as weak as a rose
See my sorrow, feel my pain
You're my refuge, You're my reason,
My strength in this beautiful place
That's where I find God

[Chorus:]
You're in my heart, You're in my soul
You are my heaven, You're my home
You're my best friend, You're my true love
You are my treasure, You're my God

I watch as the mountains fall down

And the rivers part at Your feet
Your creation sings Your praise
Even winds obey and angels bow down
At Your beautiful voice
That's where I find God

[Repeat Chorus]

You're in my heart, You're in my soul

You are my heaven, You're my home
You're my best friend, You're my true love
You are my treasure, You're my hope
You are my peace, You are my joy
You are my Savior, You're my God
 
Not sure if this one has been posted yet..it's pretty popular. But man....this one just gets me every time. I am not a singer..I actually don't like it too much..but this song makes me want to belt out the chorus as loud as I can every time it comes on! :)

Never Going Back to Okay, by The Afters
 
Well.. technically I'm not listening to anything right now because my baby is asleep, but if I was it would be something by Phil Wickham. Anyone on here listen to him?

Fingerprints of God, by Steven Curtis Chapman
Got a CD of what I guess are considered this guy's best songs on it and yeah. I've always liked this one a lot.

I can see tears filling your eyes
And I know where they're coming from
They're coming from a heart that's broken in two
By what you don't see
The person in the mirror
Doesn't look like the magazine
Oh, but when I look at you it's clear to me that...

I can see the fingerprints of God

When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it's true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of God

Never has there been and never again

Will there be another you
Fashioned by God's hand
And perfectly planned
To be just who you are
And what He's been creating
Since the first beat of your heart
Is a living breathing priceless work of art...

I can see the fingerprints of God

When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it's true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of God

Just look at you

You're a wonder in the making
Oh, and God's not through, no
In fact, He's just getting started...

I can see the fingerprints of God

When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it's true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of God


Well.. technically I'm not listening to anything right now because my baby is asleep, but if I was it would be something by Phil Wickham. Anyone on here listen to him?
I haven't heard of him before, I don't think. What's a song by him?

Every Picture tells a story. I was in a music store with the kids last week and found a greatest hits CD of Rod's for $4.99 and this was on it.

I had not heard this one in a LONG time. I've listened to it about 25 times in the past four days. This is back in the day when even popular and "rock" music actually told a story.

Spent some time feelin inferior
Standing in front of my mirror
Combed my hair in a thousand ways
But I came out looking just the same

Daddy said, son, you better see the world
I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave
But remember one thing don't lose your head
To a woman thatll spend your bread
So I got out

Paris was a place you could hide away
If you felt you didn't fit in
French police wouldn't give me no peace
They claimed I was a nasty person
Down along the left bank minding my own
Was knocked down by a human stampede
Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot
When all I wanted was a cup of tea
I was accused
I moved on

Down in rome I wasn't getting enough
Of the things that keeps a young man alive
My body stunk but I kept my funk
At a time when I was right out of luck
Getting desperate indeed I was
Looking like a tourist attraction
Oh my dear I better get out of here
For the vatican don't give no sanction
I wasn't ready for that, no no

I moved right out east yeah!
On the peking ferry I was feeling merry
Sailing on my way back here
I fell in love with a slit eyed lady
By the light of an eastern moon
Shangai lil never used the pill
She claimed that it just aint natural
She took me up on deck and bit my neck
Oh people I was glad I found her
Oh yeah I was glad I found her


I firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me
I sincerely thought I was so complete
Look how wrong you can be

The women Ive known I wouldn't let tie my shoe
They wouldn't give you the time of day
But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet
God I was glad I found her

And if they had the words I could tell to you
To help you on the way down the road
I couldnt quote you no dickens, shelley or keats
Cause it's all been said before

Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off - HA!
You didn't have to come here anyway
So remember, every picture tells a story don't it

Thank You, by Sanctus Real

There are new horizons with colors that I've never seen
The sky is filled with graces since you have carried me
I felt so far beyond your reach, but you gave everything for me
I was lost but you rescued my life

[Chorus:]
Why in the world did you come after me?
Thank you, thank you
Words aren't enough, but for now I can say
Thank you, thank you

There is hope rising 'cause you have strength I've never seen
And your eyes are shining 'cause you shed tears for me
I was miles from dry land, but you gave everything you had
I can't understand a love of this kind

[Chorus:]

I could find other lines that you haven't heard spoken over and over again
I've tried every way, but I keep landing on that simple phrase
So I'll keep singing, "thank you"

[Chorus:]

Prayer for a Friend, by Casting Crowns


Lord, I lift my friend to You, I've done all that I know to do
I lift my friend to You
Complicated circumstances have clouded his view
Lord, I lift my friend up to You

I fear that I won't have the words that he needs to hear

I pray for Your wisdom, oh God, and a heart that's sincere
Lord, I lift my friend up to You

Lord, I lift my friend to You

My best friend in the world, I know he means much more to You
I want so much to help him, but this is something he has to do
And Lord, I lift my friend up to You

'cause there's a way that seems so right to him

But You know where that leads
He's becoming a puppet of the world, too blind to see the strings
Lord, I lift my friend up to You
My friend up to You

Lord, I lift my friend to You, I've done all that I know to do

I lift my friend to You

Sleeping In, by Nevertheless

I've been sleeping in for days,
'Cause when I am awake,
I will have to face my life.
And I'm hoping it's a phase.
The walls that I create
Can only make it seem alright.
And I get carried away like I'm the only one
Who's ever felt the way that I do,
But I can hear you say, "You're not the only one.
Everybody hopes to get through."

[Chorus]

And it's got me sleeping in.
Every day God, it's the same thing.
Yeah, you caught me sleeping in.
I'm still hiding; I'm still waiting.
I need you here with me to face the world outside
Cause I'm tired of sleeping in.

I've been waking up with fear,

Cause all that I can hear
Is the ringing of alarms downtown.
It's been going on for years,
But you have made it clear
That I am not alone in this crowd.
And I get carried away like I'm the only one
Who's ever felt the way that I do,
But I can hear you say, "You're not the only one.
Everybody hopes to get through."

[Chorus]


Open up my eyes.

I'm tired of sleeping in
In a world that's dying to wake up.

I'm done with sleeping in.
