Songs...Just 'cuz. :)
Sometimes, I find, songs say it best. So these are just some songs that I listened to in the car on the way in to work this morning, from my favorite CD, that made me think of various people. So, here we go. :)
This one's specifically for 'Bomby. I don't really know why you popped into my head while I was listening to this song... Maybe it was because you mentioned valleys in your email and this one talks of valleys. Or maybe it's something else. But, anyway, I thought of you, so here you go. 'Cuz I know that you're reading. ;) Maybe it will mean something to you...or maybe not. :)
If You Want Me To
Ginny Owens
The pathway is broken
And the signs are unclear
And I don't know the reason why You brought me here
But just because You love me the way that You do
I'm gonna walk through the valley
If You want me to
'Cause I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet
So if all of these trials bring me closer to you
Then I will go through the fire
If You want me to
It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world that's not my home
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'd never go alone
So When the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through
And I will go through the valley
If You want me to
And this one just makes me think of all the searching people that I know out there, that I've talked to recently and for all of those that I don't know, too. I pray for all of you, all the time. So, here we go. :)
Someone Searching
Ginny Owens
Face lost in the crowd
Feet wandering empty streets
Voice crying out loud
Heart aching with every beat
Someone searching
Searching for someone
Everywhere and endlessly
Wishing, waiting
Could there be someone?
Searching for
Someone searching
Soul battered and bruised
Pride wounded and left for dead
Ears deaf to good news
Eyes tear-drenched and sleepless red
Someone Searching
Searching for someone
Everywhere and endlessly
Wishing, waiting
Could there be someone?
Searching for
Someone searching
Oh I hear the cry
And I know the pain
Can it be denied?
That everyone has been
And will be someone searching
Love standing alone
Hands scarred by the nails of hate
Hope suffering long
Faith urging that it's not too late
Someone searching
Searching for someone
Everywhere and endlessly
Wishing, waiting
Always there's someone
Searching for someone
Someone searching
Someone searching
Searching for someone
Everywhere and endlessly
Loving, longing
Always there's someone
Searching for someone
Someone searching
And then there was this, which was in my email this morning and that I liked so much that I put it in the little quote thing on my journal. I don't know who said it, but I really, really like it:
"Live in such a way that those who know you but don’t know God will come to know God because they know you."
And...that's all. :)
