It’s obvious that I am huge fan of Shane and Shane. Here’s one reason why:
Vision of You
Come meet us, King Jesus
Oh wind of change blow through this temple
Sweet Spirit of God, come and mend our hearts
For all we have are songs
Unless You come
Oh wind of change blow through this temple
Sweet Spirit of God, come and mend our hearts
For all we have are songs
Unless You come
Awaken what’s inside of me
Tune my heart to all You are in me
Even though You’re here God come
And may the vision of You
Be the death of me
And even though you’ve given everything
Jesus come
Come free us, King Jesus
It’s the only way that freedom’s given
From You and You alone
In the work You’ve already done
For all we have are songs,
Unless You come
Here we are, Lord
In this place
Crying out for
Your embrace
To hear Your voice
More than songs
Please come
Jesus come

Awaken what’s inside of me, Tune my heart to all You are in me…may the vision of You be the death of me …isn’t that good? It connects with my heart. It’s even more amazing in song. Here’s the video. (Don’t you think you should get this cd?)
What songs connect with your heart?
oooh. that’s so good.
and so many songs connect with my heart, for so many different reasons. i’ve had jason mraz’s “you and i both” swirling around inside a lot lately. it’s not a very “spiritual” song but it still connects with my heart. really resonates with me.
yes - I think I should get the CD.
songs connecting with my heart - the kids just got the video from Hillsongs Kids called Supernatural. There is a song on there that goes, “I am not forgotten, God knows my name…” that is the song touching my heart right now.
Emma’s art is great!
I love your new header- so great!!!
I have a couple of Shane and Shane albums on my iPod… but I’m kind of silly with music… it’s like I listen to an album over and over again until I completely know it- and then it becomes something I regularly play. For some reason, I haven’t chewed on their music enough yet for it to be familiar… but you’ve inspired me to dig in!!
Jeremy Riddle - Sweetly Broken
That song gets me every time I hear it and sing it!
“At the Cross You beckon me
Draw me gently to my knees
and I’m lost for words so lost in love
I’m sweetly broken
Wholly surrendered”
Goose chills just writing it out!
Well, the two most recent songs are the one on my myspace profile: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=95925843 (Unbreakable by Fireflight)
and “My Confession” by Josh Groban. The other one … I just read Persuasion (Jane Austen) and watched both the 2007 and 1995 versions. There is a youtube video that clipped together scenes of the 2007 version to that song (My Confession) which is just beautiful, so it’s been in my head all week. As I keep singing it to myself, though, it occurred to me that it could just as easily be a love-song to God, as to another person. Here are the words:
I have been blind, unwilling
To see the truth of your giving
I have ignored every blessing
I’m on my knees confessing
That I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face
I am staggered by your beauty
Your unassuming grace
And I feel my heart is turning
Falling into place
I can’t hide
Now hear my confession
I have been wrong about you
Thought I was strong without you
For so long nothing could move me
For so long nothing could change me
Now I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face
I am captured by your beauty
Your unassuming grace
That I feel my heart is turning
Falling into place
I can’t hide
Now hear my confession
You are the air that I breathe
You’re the ground beneath my feet
When did I stop believing
Cause I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face
I am staggered by your beauty
Your unassuming grace
And I feel my heart is falling into place
I can’t hide
Now hear my confession
I can’t hide
Now hear my confession
It’s really a beautiful song. As a human soul to the Maker - it’s really sweet and beautiful.
Those are my songs!
I love these guys as well. What a great song!
