(For our 5-Year Anniversary, Justin and I had a hot air balloon ride over Lancaster, PA.)
Being deprived and dehydrated from having quite a large lack of good, stimulating music, I have found myself on another musical quest. This has been one of the greatest discoveries, I tell ya. I'm embarrassed to even say this, but I didn't expect to find much that would actually fluff my fancy. But it found me. And it found me good. I'm now on Clever and Innovative Overload... and I love it. God is such a little stinker. (And I mean that with all the love in my little heart.) Let's put it this way: You know how you think what you want may just have to wait to get better once we get to our real home in heaven... Those things? Oh! And sometimes you don't even realize you've been missing out until you find that crispy, new discovery? Wahoo! Feels good.
Anyway. Yeah. I wanted to share some lyrics with ya today. Yeah, I'm a songwriter. But that definitely doesn't mean that I don't adore what other songwriters come up with. You know how there are a lot of things in life that some people look at as a competition? Songwriting and creativity is not one of those things, is it? Didn't think so. And you don't have to be a "Christian Artist" to get my attention. I often see what these folks are really saying, just like I know you do as well. Interpret as you wish. I see our God written all over it. (But that's just how it speaks to me.) Enjoy the words of Iron & Wine's, Such Great Heights:
...And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
...and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you homeThey will see us waving from such great
Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay...
Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay...
Beautiful, right? I believe that God created us all to work together. Sin is what pulls us apart and cracks the clay. God will leave you on a spiritual high, and people may want you to come down from there. It makes people scared to believe in God for some reason. But that feeling you get from those great "heights" is the very reason to stay up there in His Presence. Make 'em want what you got.
So peaceful.
Reminds me of 1 Chron. 16:8-36
