MMHMM
Dude, this album absolutely rocks!!! Ryan and I went to Bible Factory Outlet to get a copy this morning, but they didn't have it. Then I realized that I had a $10 off coupon for FYE, so we headed over to the mall. There were 2 copies left, so we were in luck. I also bought that AWESOME Christmas album. MMHMM is amazing. The messages conveyed in these songs are so strong. Especially, in "Let It All Out". No matter how much pain we go through in this life, God has created a place for us, and Jesus has paved the way for us to get there. I also really like "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been." This song really speaks to me, because of the mistakes that I have made in the past. It talks about how God has given us a second chance through Jesus Christ. They are such powerful songs. If you haven't bought it yet, then you should. It will speak to those that aren't even Relient K fans, so tell your friends about it.
This is definately my favorite song on the new album.
When I Go Down by Relient K
I'll tell flat out
It hurts so much to think of this
So from my thoughts I will exclude
The very thing that
I hate more than everything is
The way I'm powerless
To dictate my moods
I've thrown away
So many things that could've been much more
And I just pray
My problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works
When I go down
I go down hard
And I take everything I've learned
And teach myself some disregard
When I go down
It hurts to hit the bottom
And of the things that got me there
I think, if only I had fought them
If and when I can
Clear myself of this clouded mind
I'll watch myself settle down
Into a place where
Peace can search me out and find
That I'm so ready to be found
I've thrown away
The hope I had in friendships
I've thrown away
So many things that could've been much more
I've thrown away
The secret to find an end to this
And I just pray
My problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works
When I go down
I go down hard
And I take everything I've learned
And teach myself some disregard
When I go down
It hurts to hit the bottom
And of the things that got me there
I think, if only I had fought them
Any control I thought I had just slips right through my hands
While my ever-present conscience shakes its head and reprimands me
Reprimands me
Then and there
I confess
I'll blame all this on my selfishness
Yet you love me
And that consumes me
And I'll stand up again
And do so willingly
You give me hope, and hope it gives me life
You touch my heavy heart, and when you do you make it light
As I exhale I hear your voice
And I answer you, though I hardly make a noise
And from my lips the words I choose to say
Seem pathetic, but it's a fallen man's praise
Because I love you
Oh God, I love you
And life is now worth living
If only because of you
And when they say I'm dead and gone
It won't be further from the truth
When I go down
I lift my eyes to you
I won't look very far
Cause you'll be there
With open arms
To lift me up again
to lift me up again
