| Has there been a song that really touched you spiritually? Posted: 11/3/2007 1:14:57 PM | One Touch lyrics/Nicole C. Mullen
Been ostracized for 12 years I’m used to being alone Spent everything I had And now it’s gone I’m used to being put down My issues tell it all My only hope is anchored In this fall
Chorus If I could just touch the hem of His garment I know I’d be made whole If I could just press my way thru this madness His love would heal my soul If only one touch
So many people calling How could He ever know That just a brush of Him Would stop the flow If he knew would He rebuke me Or shame me to the crowd Well I’m desperate ‘cause it’s never or it’s now
Chorus
Suddenly He turned around He said somebody has unleashed my power Well, Frightened and embarrassed I bowed You see I told Him of my troubles And how…
I had to touch the Hem of His garment And I know I’ve been made whole And how I had pressed my way thru the madness And His love has healed my soul
Then with one word He touched the hem of my garment And you know I’ve been made whole And somehow He pressed His way thru my madness And His love has healed my soul
I tell you He touched me He reached way down and touched me When no one else would touch me Jesus, shol’ ‘nough He touched me… And I know I’ve been made whole | |

| Has there been a song that really touched you spiritually? Posted: 11/4/2007 3:44:39 AM | I posit a challenge:
Many of us have posted a song that we derive spiritual meaning from. (Mine was "Alone I Break" by Korn... my insomniatic fit kept me from remembering to post the title, lol). However, who here would be willing to explain why?
I'll go first.
Pick me up Been bleeding too long Right here, right now Ill stop it somehow
Even in the midst of suffering, there can exist the determination to press on.
I will make it go away Can't be here no more Seems this is the only way I will soon be gone These feelings will be gone These feelings will be gone
Determination can be a destructive force in its own right: and perhaps, certain kinds of destruction are beneficial. I have had to destroy many previous versions of my persona in order to cope with life events, in a manner of speaking.
Now I see the times they change Leaving doesn't seem so strange I am hoping I can find Where to leave my hurt behind All the shit I seem to take All alone I seem to break I have lived the best I can Does this make me not a man?
Abandonment can be a severe blow: but it does not have to be the fatal one. Perhaps it is how tall we stand, when we stand alone, that is the true measure of a (hu)man.
Shut me off I'm ready Heart stops I stand alone Can't be on my own
Even still, the struggle is exhausting. Especially when one is, intentionally or not, struggling alone. There's an old axiom that says "Stand up for what is right, even if you stand alone." But how long can one truly "stand alone"? How much can a person take, before they topple? Everyone has a limit, and it is only in knowing- and exceeding- our limits that we can grow.
I will make it go away Cant be here no more Seems this is the only way I will soon be gone These feelings will be gone These feelings will be gone
Pfft, chorus. LOL
Now I see the times they change Leaving doesn't seem so strange I am hoping I can find Where to leave my hurt behind All the shit I seem to take All alone I seem to break I have lived the best I can Does this make me not a man?
Again. :-P
Am I going to leave this place? What is it I'm running from? Is there nothing more to come?
All valid questions. All of which require meaningful insight and soul-searching to answer. How often do we know- and ignore- the answers? How often to we seek answers to the wrong questions?
Is it always black in space? Am I going to take its place? Am I going to win this race?
Hey, everyone has bad days. What happens if that's all there really is? It is scary to confront the possibility of oblivion.
I guess God's up in this place What is it that I've become? Is there something more to come?
See above, lol.
Now I see the times they change Leaving doesn't seem so strange I am hoping I can find Where to leave my hurt behind All the shit I seem to take All alone I seem to break I have lived the best I can Does this make me not a man?
Now I see the times they change Leaving doesn't seem so strange I am hoping I can find Where to leave my hurt behind All the shit I seem to take All alone I seem to break I have lived the best I can Does this make me not a man?
Solitude can teach us our own strengths: by showing us our own frailties. | |

| Has there been a song that really touched you spiritually? Posted: 11/8/2007 8:31:49 AM | Luther Vandross' version of this....
To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow And to run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong And to love pure and chaste from afar To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest To follow that star No matter how hopeless No matter how far To fight for the right Without question or pause To be willing to march, march into hell For that heavenly cause
And I know If I'll only be true To this glorious quest That my heart Will lie peaceful and calm When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this That one man, scorned and covered with scars, Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable, the unreachable, The unreachable star
And I'll always dream The impossible dream Yes, and I'll reach The unreachable star
inspiration for me at my lowest ebb.... | |

| Has there been a song that really touched you spiritually? Posted: 11/9/2007 1:00:32 PM | | Hey Katxxxx I saw the late Robert Goulet In the play of "Man of LaMancha" and it was awesome! I cried during many of the songs. Love it, love it, love it! and Luther is one of those guys that could sing a nursery rhyme and make it sound like you heard it for the first time! -Terrie | |

| Has there been a song that really touched you spiritually? Posted: 11/10/2007 3:32:02 AM | From my youth I'd have to say Geoff Moore specificly the songs Home Run and If You Can See What I See.
Currently my musical intrests seem to depend on my mood. I can go from Michael W Smith and Third Day's Worship stuff all the way to Metallica, Godsmack and a few other songs.
I relate ALOT to Kansas Wayward Son song but when it comes to one of those hectic days Godsmack Serenity or Vodoo comes in handy :P
I come to like songs because they hit me at a level that's deep inside and can relate to them. Evanescense for example I relate to to songs such as My Immortal, Anywhere and Where Will You Go.
To many songs to list so I'm not even going to try and list the lyrics. | |

| Has there been a song that really touched you spiritually? Posted: 11/11/2007 12:01:57 AM | Good point Trippy!
Soar- Christina Aguilera:
When they push, when they pull Tell me can you hold on When they say you should change Can you lift your head high and stay strong
Will you give up, give in When your heart's crying out "that is wrong" Will you love you for you at the end of it all
Now in life there's gonna be times When you're feeling low And in your mind insecurities seem to take control We start to look outside ourselves For acceptance and approval We keep forgetting that the one thing we should know is
Don't be scared To fly alone Find a path that is your own Love will open every door
See in your hands the world is yours Don't hold back and always know All the answers you will unfold What are you waiting for Spread your wings and soar
The boy who wonders, is he good enough for them Keep trying to please them all But he just never seems to fit in Then there's the girl who thinks she'll never ever be Good enough for him He's trying to change and That's a game she'll never win
In life there will be times when you're feeling low And in your mind insecurities seem to take control We start to look outside ourselves For acceptance and approval We keep forgetting that one thing we should know is
Don't be scared To fly alone Find a path that is your own Love will open every door
See in your hands the world is yours Don't hold back and always know All the answers they will unfold What are you waiting for Spread your wings and soar
In the mirror is where she comes Face to face with her fears Her reflection looked forward on to her After all these years However how she's tried to be Something besides herself Now time has passed and she's ended up Somewhere else with regret
What is it in us that makes us feel the need To keep pretending Gotta let ourselves be
Don't be scared To fly alone Find a path that is your own Love will open every door
See in your hands the world is yours Don't hold back and always know All the answers you will unfold Don't wait no more Spread your wings and soar
Find your road Love will open every door See in your hands the world is yours Don't look back in the window, you'll find your way Always know all the answers will unfold
Oh don't wait Spread your wings and soar Don't wait no more You've got to soar Spread your wings and soar Don't wait no more No don't you wait no more Spread your wings and soar You've can soar
So what you waiting for Don't wait, Don't wait Soar For me this song is totally empowering.... makes me remember what I sometimes forget I know :)
Unwritten- Natasha Beddingfield:
I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten
Oh, oh, oh
I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way
Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten
Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten The rest is still unwritten The rest is still unwritten
Oh, yeah, yeah This song came out when my vehicle was stolen and shortly after my daughter's father died... there were actually many sh!tty things happening for me all at the same time and I felt as though I was going to fall apart...
I heard this song and it instantly inspired me... no matter how bad things get, you get to create tomorrow with your thoughts right NOW..
So I dried my tears and began to write anew..
Alive- Edwin (lead singer of I Mother Earth) This one is all about simply being happy to be alive :)
Pilgrim- Enya A song that talks about the journey to find... you
Teardrop- Massive Attack For this one it isn't so much the words... its all about the feel I get from it :)
Thanks for the exercise Trippy :) | |

| Has there been a song that really touched you spiritually? Posted: 11/11/2007 9:24:23 AM | I've always felt that spirit/our inner self/guides can 'talk' to us through music. I have meditated to music for most of my life and so it's been a common thread for me. There have been many songs that reflect on my life but these two I found recently (in the last year) to be pivotal on my path. When I first heard My Sacrifice I was driving and had to pull over because it made me cry. Then I saw the video and it blew me away! :)
My Sacrifice by Creed
Hello my friend we meet again It’s been a while where should we begin…feels like forever Within my heart are memories Of perfect love that you gave to me I remember
When you are with me I’m free…I’m careless…I believe Above all the others we’ll fly This brings tears to my eyes My sacrifice
We’ve seen our share of ups and downs Oh how quickly life can turn around in an instant It feels so good to reunite Within yourself and within your mind Let’s find peace there
When you are with me I’m free…I’m careless…I believe Above all the others we’ll fly This brings tears to my eyes My sacrifice
I just want to say hello again ........................
Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings
Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven? Would it be the same If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong And carry on, 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven.
Would you hold my hand If I saw you in heaven? Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way Through night and day, 'Cause I know I just can't stay Here in heaven.
Time can bring you down, Time can bend your knees. Time can break your heart, Have you begging please, begging please.
Beyond the door, There's peace I'm sure, And I know there'll be no more Tears in heaven.
Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven? Would it be the same If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong And carry on, 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven.
tears in heaven is just so very touching... I've lost quite a few loved ones and I guess it reflects on how I feel about missing them. | |

| Has there been a song that really touched you spiritually? Posted: 11/18/2007 10:44:35 PM | Several small pagan chants; a few awesome songs.
Earth my Body Water my blood Air my soul and Fire my spirit --------------- The Earth, The Air, The Fire, The Water
The earth, the air, the fire, the water: Return, return, return, return The earth, the air, the fire, the water: Return, return, return, return Aye ay aye ay aye ay aye ay: Aye oh aye oh aye oh aye oh Aye ay aye ay aye ay aye ay: Aye oh aye oh aye oh aye oh (repeated for a couple of minutes in a group very energizing! ------------------------ Just Because by Gaia Consort (awesome Pagan Band!)
Do you ever wonder whose face makes the moonlight? Do you ever look up and find your face there? Is it any wonder we find ourselves laughing With your tongue at my lips and your hands in my hair? I don't need a reason to savor the Mystery. All we need to is open up one eye... I don't need a savior to keep me from tumbling I'll only kneel for my lover's delight I don't need a church man to show me what's holy When I see you in the doorway surrounded in light I don't need a guidebook to paint out my story I don't need a road map to find my way back home... So why? Tell me why! How long? How long? What if "why" is just because? I don't need a doctorate to speak with authority 40,000 years we've been painting in caves I don't need an answer to each of my questions When the nape of your neck just won't let me "behave" I don't need a bible to swear on my conscience I don't need a stranger to know I'm not alone So why? Tell me why! How long? How long? What if "why" is just because? I don't need a downbeat to dance in this moonlight With the drum in my bones I'm naked here too I don't need a lighthouse to find my over Filled to my brim with the wanting of you I don't need a maestro to count out my measure I don't need a songbook to howl up at the moon So why? Tell me why! How long? How long? What if "why" is just because? I don't need a reason.... Copyright 1/6/97 Christopher Bingham ------------------------------------------------- Fire In The Head Emerald Rose (another Pagany band rich with Celtic words)
Chorus: Fire in the head...I'm a flame in motion Fire in the head...I'm a sword that's sharp Fire in the head...I'm a drop in the ocean A shield in battle and a string in a harp. Fire in the head...I'm an eagle soaring Fire in the head...I'm a spoken word Fire in the head...I'm a torrent pouring A grain of wheat and a cauldron stirred. Fire in the head!
Wee Jack's rhymes are sly and hinting Wrapped in bull skin banging a drum Wee Jack's looking, one-eyed squinting Hoppin' on one leg, sucking his thumb The black sow's chasin' me round the oak tree Humming a tune that I must learn The black sow's call to feast awoke me But oh her cauldron spits and burns
(chorus)
Mad May shakes her bells to ringing Rides through the door and disappears Mad May's laughing, asking, singing Does anyone have ears that hear? The raven sat in a creek and pondered Why the alder tree is strong The raven's head flew off wnd wandered Singing stories and telling songs
(chorus) --------------------------- Greenman by Type O' Negative (not a Pagan Band but this song just rocks and the 6'7 lead singer's deep rolling voice totally makes you think the GreenMan himself was singing. Of all the songs/poems/thoughts about the GreenMan this one freakin rocks my socks so hard I had to pen a story on it.)
Spring won't come, the need of strife To struggle to be freed from hard ground The evening mists that creep and crawl Will drench in the dew and so drown
I'm the green man The green man
Sol in prime sweet summertime Cast shadows of doubt on my face A midday sun, its caustic hues Refracting within the still lake
Autumn in her flaming dress Of orange, brown, gold fallen leaves My mistress of the frigid night I worship pray to on my knees
Winter's breath of filthy snow Befrosted paths to the unknown Have my lips turned true purple Life is coming to an end So says me, me wiccan friend Nature coming full circle
I'm the green man The green man ------------------------ *goes off to listen to 'Greenman' again*

| Has there been a song that really touched you spiritually? Posted: 11/20/2007 6:11:58 PM | seeing as i really Love music, there are too many to mention them all, but i will mention some from one of my all time favorite artists, the late Keith Green, he brought life to his songs (kinda like scripture/stories to music)! just reading the lyrics doesn't do justice to actually hearing these songs to music! These are Christian songs. i do have some secular song i like, too, especially the oldies and country!
How Can They Live Without Jesus ***** The Sheep and the Goats/Asleep in the Light~~~12 minutes 14 seconds Pledge My Head To Heaven I Want to be More Like Jesus Dear John Letter (To the Devil) No One Believes In Me Anymore Lies Romans VII *****
i don't have the lyrics to write, but if you want to see them, try this;
delusionresistance.org/christian/keith/Keith_Green_main.html
most of his song lyrics are there! God bless Tom | |

| Has there been a song that really touched you spiritually? Posted: 11/20/2007 8:00:44 PM | A sad one, but it touches me every time I hear it - Keep Me In Your Heart For A While,by Warren Zevon. The song was written by Warren Zevon prior to his death for his wife. It touches me deeply because my brother-law sang it at the funeral of another sister's husband. The sister that was widowed had been married for 20 years and had actually found her "soul mate". They had a marriage that I always envied. We all miss him.
The song: Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath Keep me in your heart for awhile
If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less Keep me in your heart for awhile
When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun Keep me in your heart for awhile
There's a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sometimes when you're doing simple things around the house Maybe you'll think of me and smile
You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on your blouse Keep me in your heart for awhile
Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams Touch me as I fall into view When the winter comes keep the fires lit And I will be right next to you
Engine driver's headed north to Pleasant Stream Keep me in your heart for awhile
These wheels keep turning but they're running out of steam Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo Keep me in your heart for awhile
Keep me in your heart for awhile | |

| Has there been a song that really touched you spiritually? Posted: 11/20/2007 8:08:25 PM | | Personally I'm a huge fan of Iron Maiden .. Bruce****nson is one awesome singer but it would be wrong to say I was spiritually touched by Number of the Beast or a wspiritually though .. maybe the hole pile of his other tracks. Having said that its that kind of music that inspires me. Spiritually though I'd have to say Silver on the Tree is good celtic inspired music for meditation. | |

| Has there been a song that really touched you spiritually? Posted: 11/20/2007 8:08:42 PM | Another song I chose for the bridal dance at my/ex's wedding, frankly it was the only thing I chose about the whole thing. Love it prior to meeting my soon to ex and still love it:
Van Morrison Have I Told You Lately
Have I told you lately that I love you Have I told you there's no one above you Fill my heart with gladness Take away my sadness Ease my troubles, that's what you do Oh the morning sun in all its glory Greets the day with hope and comfort too And you fill my life with laughter You can make it better Ease my troubles that's what you do
There's a love that's divine And it's yours and it's mine Like the sun at the end of the day We should give thanks and pray to the One
Have I told you lately that I love you Have I told you there's no one above you Fill my heart with gladness Take away my sadness Ease my troubles, that's what you do
There's a love that's divine And it's yours and it's mine And it shines like the sun At the end of the day we will give thanks And pray to the One
Have I told you lately that I love you Have I told you there's no one above you Fill my heart with gladness Take away my sadness Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Take away my sadness Fill my life with gladness Ease my troubles that's what you do Fill my life with gladness Take away my sadness Ease my troubles that's what you do | |

| Has there been a song that really touched you spiritually? Posted: 11/21/2007 7:56:49 AM | Here's one of my favorite's that i love to sing, it might not touch me Spiritually, but it does touch me none the less.
Blake Shelton~~~"Don't Make Me"
Girl when I look at you You look through me Like I’m not even there I try not to give up, to be strong but I’m afraid to say I’m scared I can’t find the place My heart is hiding I’m no quitter but I’m tired of fighting
Baby I love you Don’t want to lose you Don’t make me let you go Took such a long time For me to find you Don’t make me let you go Baby I’m begging please And I’m down here on my knees I don’t want to have to set you free Don’t make me
What if when I’m long gone It dawns on you You just might want me back Let me make myself clear When if I leave here It’s done; I’m gone, that’s that You carry my love around Like it’s a heavy burden Well I’m about to take you back Are you sure it’s worth it
Baby I love you Don’t want to lose you Don’t make me let you go Took such a long time For me to find you Don’t make me let you go Baby I’m begging please And I’m down here on my knees I don’t want to have to set you free Don’t make me Don’t make me
(Don’t make me)
Baby I’m begging please And I’m down here on my knees I don’t want to have to set you free Don’t make me
Baby I love you Don’t want to lose you Don’t make me let you go
Don’t make me Stop loving you
(Don’t make me)
Stop needing you | |

NATASHA BEDINGFIELD LYRICS
"Wild Horses"
Hmmm woah yea...
I feel these 4 walls closing in My face up against the glass I'm looking out... hmm Is this my life I'm wondering It happened so fast How do I turn this thing around Is this the bed I chose to make Its greener pastures I'm thinking about hmm Wide open spaces far away
All I want is the wind in my hair To face the fear but, not feel scared
[Chorus:] Wild horses I wanna be like you Throwing caution to the wind I'll run free too Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to Run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses! Oh yeah yea
I see the girl I wanna be Riding bare back, care free along the shore If only that someone was me Jumping head first headlong without a thought To act and damn the consequence How I wish it could be that easy But fear surrounds me like a fence I wanna break free
All I want is the wind in my hair To face the fear but, not feel scared Hoohhh woah woah
[Chorus:] Wild horses I wanna be like you Throwing caution to the wind I'll run free too Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses! Oh yeah yea
I wanna run too. Hohhh woah oh woah oh
Breaklessly abandoning my self before you
I wanna open up my heart tell him how I feel
[Chorus:] Wild horses I wanna be like you Throwing caution to the wind I'll run free too Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses! [X2] Hooaah woah oh woah Yeah
I wanna run with the wild horses | |

| Has there been a song that really touched you spiritually? Posted: 6/17/2008 5:31:43 PM | For me, this one. All my life (or at least since I hear it for the first time)! Except when I was passing through a very hard depression, and this song didn't move me at all, so I found out that I had a REAL problem.
There is is a very decent clip in You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkan9AmOWwQ
TODO CAMBIA
Lyrics: Julio Numhauser (Chile) Singing by: Mercedes Sosa (Argentina)
Cambia lo superficial cambia también lo profundo cambia el modo de pensar cambia todo en este mundo
Cambia el clima con los años cambia el pastor su rebaño y así como todo cambia que yo cambie no es extraño
Cambia el mas fino brillante de mano en mano su brillo cambia el nido el pajarillo cambia el sentir un amante
Cambia el rumbo el caminante aunque esto le cause daño y así como todo cambia que yo cambie no extraño
Cambia todo cambia Cambia todo cambia Cambia todo cambia Cambia todo cambia
Cambia el sol en su carrera cuando la noche subsiste cambia la planta y se viste de verde en la primavera
Cambia el pelaje la fiera Cambia el cabello el anciano y así como todo cambia que yo cambie no es extraño
Pero no cambia mi amor por mas lejos que me encuentre ni el recuerdo ni el dolor de mi pueblo y de mi gente
Lo que cambió ayer tendrá que cambiar mañana así como cambio yo en esta tierra lejana
Cambia todo cambia Cambia todo cambia Cambia todo cambia Cambia todo cambia
Pero no cambia mi amor...
This is the translation that I did:
EVERYTHING CHANGES
The surface changes as well as the profound the mindset changes everything changes in this world
Climate change over the years the pastor changes his flock and just as everything changes that I change is not strange at all
The most brilliant gem changes from hand to hand its shine the little bird changes its nest a lover changes his feeling
The walker changes his course although this will cause him damage and just as everything changes that I change is not strange at all
Change everything changes Change everything changes Change everything changes Change everything changes
The sun changes in its journey when the night subsists the plant changes and dresses green in the spring
The beast changes its fur the elderly change his hair and just as everything changes that I change is not strange at all
But my love doesn’t change even if I am far away neither the memory nor the pain of my town and my people
What changed yesterday that will change tomorrow as well as I change in this faraway land
Change everything changes Change everything changes Change everything changes Change everything changes
But my love doesn’t change…
PEACE! | |

| Has there been a song that really touched you spiritually? Posted: 7/1/2008 3:41:43 AM | I've read thru the thread and come upon many of other people's choices that strike a note; in fact George Harrisons' All things Must Pass album is on the player now due to Skypoets' choice of Isn't it a Pity and someone else mentioning My Sweet Lord.
Casheyesblonds' choice of Van Morrisons' Into The Mystic, brings to mind Brand New Day, from the same album. There's an uplifting song.
Others come to mind, the more I think of it. The Beach Boys singing Til' I Die for instance. Simple, poignant lyrics written by Brian Wilson himself who usually collaborates with a co-writer for this task. He does a fine job here..
I'm a cork on the ocean Floating over the raging sea How deep is the ocean? How deep is the ocean? I lost my way Hey hey hey
I'm a rock in a landslide Rolling over the mountainside How deep is the valley? How deep is the valley? It kills my soul Hey hey hey
I'm a leaf on a windy day Pretty soon I'll be blown away How long will the wind blow? How long will the wind blow? Ohhhh
Until I die Until I die These things I'll be until I die These things I'll be until I die These things I'll be until I die These things I'll be until I die These things I'll be until I die These things I'll be until I die These things I'll be until I die These things I'll be until I die These things I'll be until I die These things I'll be until I die | |

I will also be moved by a certain kind of music; one that haunts you, perhaps evoking hidden memories... listening to Enya's music will do that big time. | |

| Has there been a song that really touched you spiritually? Posted: 7/1/2008 5:31:02 AM | There are so many songs that have touched me at different times.
Stephen Curtis Chapman has a song Cinderella that sings about how quickly children will be gone, to enjoy their childhood. Dad's remember to be your little girls first dance partner.
Shelah- You Lift Me Up- IT reminds me that I am never alone, that God is there to lift me up when I need it.
Mercy Me- Alright- It sings about when problems roll in you can keep your head up and keep on dancing and their song Grace tells another story- God is in control not man
Casting Crowns has many songs- Gosh I could just keep on going. But I'll stop with these few. | |
