I, like many others, must list two songs as well. The first is by the News Boys(who happen to be my favorite Christian band) and is Entertaining Angels. I was just becoming a Christian by my own decision when I heard this song and it captivated me. The lyrics are pretty simple, but I was hearing something so much deeper and the violins were absolutely awesome! I am not a particularly emotional person(emotions:happy, angry, hungry) but I can rarely sing this song without getting choked up on the second verse (I appreciate that Tera was so brave and revealed something very personal, it's the least I can do to admit that I sometimes cry) about waiting to breathe. Here are the lyrics:
one to another do you remember me
I feel so small are you listening, tonight
so temporary, the things that I have seen
I ran so far, will you take me back again
entertaining angels by the light of my t.v. screen
24-7 you wait for me
entertaining angels by the time i fall to my knees
host of heaven, sing over me
one to another the feelings in between
I won't let go of all you taught me - alright
close as a brother the way we used to be
I'll hold my breath and I'll wait for you to breathe
entertaining angels by the light of my t.v. screen
24-7 you wait for me
entertaining angelswhile the night becomes history
host of heaven, sing over me
The second song is City on a hill, God of Wonders. I love the music and these lyrics also speak to me in a profound way. I am continually amazed at the absolute majesty of God and His creations. He creates with such awesome diversity and attention to detail. Think of the human brain-we will never match the complexity of it in a million years with computers(and guess what, we only use 8% of its power, anyway!) and it is it's own electrical supply. I am completely blown away at the beauty that is allowed to exist, even on this sin ridden rock. God loves us enough to allow us pleasure through nature even though we crucify Him on a daily basis. These are the lyrics:
Lord Of all creation
Of water, earth, and sky
The heavens are Your tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high
God of wonder beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy
Lord of heaven and earth
Lord of heaven and earth
Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
When I stumble in the darkness
I will call Your name by night
God of wonder beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy
Lord of heaven and earth
Lord of heaven and earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of heaven and earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of heaven and earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of heaven and earth
God of wonder beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
Precious Lord reveal Your heart to me
Father holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy
Hallelujah to the Lord of heaven and earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of heaven and earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of heaven and earth
Sorry this was so long, but I am really touched by music.
