What a great song! Ryan Tedder, you make me swoon! You can serenade me anytime you'd like.
"Say (All I Need)"
by OneRepublic
Do you know where your heart is?
Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something
Somewhere better just to have it?
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong, but
Nothing's turned out how you wanted
Well, bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
Cause you won't let go
Of anything you hold
Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head
Do you know what your fate is?
And are you trying to shake it?
You're doing your best and
Your best look
You're praying that you make it
Well, bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
Cause you won't let go
Of anything you hold
Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head
I said all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Better than you had it
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Yeah, better than you had it (Better than you had it)
I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head
I said all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head
Do you know where the end is
Do you think you can see it?
Well, until you get there
Go on, go ahead and scream it
Just say it
I woke up this morning with this song in my head. Thanks, Bob Dylan for a great song...but I'd listen to Adele's voice over yours any day! :)
"Make You Feel My Love"
written by Bob Dylan; performed by Adele
When the rain is blowing in your face,
And the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.
I know you haven't made your mind up yet,
But I would never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
I'd go crawling down the avenue.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret.
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free,
You ain't seen nothing like me yet.
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn't do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
To make you feel my love
Well, I can't find a video with this song, so you'll have to look it up on your own. Thanks to Naomi for playing it yesterday on the way back from Eastland...I hadn't heard this song in years, and it (like many others songs) is cheesy in a way, but some of these words are quite fitting for my life these days.
"Free" by Ginny Owens
Turnin' molehills into mountains
Makin' big deals out of small ones
Bearing gifts as if they're burdens
This is how it's been
Afraid of coming out of my shell
Too many things I can't do too well
Afraid I'll try real hard
And I'll fail
This is how it's been
Till the day You pounded on my heart's door
And You shouted joyfully
You're not a slave anymore!
You're free to dance
Forget about your two left feet
And you're free to sing
Even joyful noise is music to Me
You're free to love
'Cause I've given you My love
And it's made you free
I have set you free!
My mind finds hard to believe
That You became humanity and
Changed the course of history
Because You loved us so
And my heart cannot understand
How You accept me as I am
But You say You've always had a plan
And that's all I need to know
So when I am consumed
With what the world will say
Then You're singing to me, as You remove
my chains
Free from worry
Free from envy and denial
Free to live, free to give, free to smile
today i am thankful for...
- getting to hug Heather!!! : ) as i told someone earlier, when i see her, everything is right in the world! yay for best friends!
- fall...the leaves are actually quite colorful this year in Abilene.
- my freshmen students...i LOVE listening to them think through who Jesus is and what he would be doing were he alive today
- Taco Bell's Crunchwrap Supremes (with fire sauce, of course)
- listening to Nick pray...oh, how i have missed that!
- my mentor groups - past and present.
- Jaeden...i have had her just a little over a year now and she is wonderful!
- my radiator. it keeps me warm and i like to call it a "fireplace"...close enough...ha!
- my friends who are coming to Eastland with me on Sunday!
- driving around the loop twice with Naomi just to sing to fun music! she is SO great and i have missed hanging out with her!
- my parents...who take the call to imitate Christ more seriously than most people i know...no matter what the consequences
- Betty Tidwell...visiting her and her husband every day this summer changed my life...they became like grandparents and i will always remember them. i found out on Tuesday that she passed away...and i am thankful for the confidence that God will provide.
This song put a smile on my face this evening. Thank you, Sara. It was much needed! Enjoy!
"Many the Miles"
by Sara Bareilles
There's too many things that I haven't done yet
Too many sunsets I haven't seen
You can't waste the day wishing it'd slow down
You would've thought by now, I'd have learned something
I made up my mind when I was a young girl
I've been given this one world, I won't worry it away, no
But now and again I lose sight of the good life
I get stuck in a low light But then Love comes in
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, but send me the miles
And I'll be happy to follow you, Love
I do what I can wherever I end up
To keep giving my good love and spreading it around
Cause I've had my fair share of take care and goodbyes
I've learned how to cry and I'm better for that, sing
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, send me the miles
And I'll be happy to
Red letter day and I'm in a blue mood
Wishing that blue would just carry me away
I've been talking to God don't know if it's helping or not
But surely something has got to got to got to give
'Cause I can't keep waiting to live
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, but send me the miles
and I'll be happy to yeah
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
Oh send me the miles and I'll be happy to
Follow you Love
There's too many things I haven't done yet
Too many sunsets I haven't seen
