My brother gave me an iTunes gift card, so I’ve been searching for new music that I might not buy otherwise. I came across ADELE and loved her song, “Chasing Pavements,” so I figured I’d look for other songs by her. “Make You Feel My Love” is pretty good, it probably won’t be on my top list, but the lyrics are definitely awesome!
Make You Feel My Love
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
Okay, so I’m looking through iTunes for some new music and I came across this one in the “Dance” category. Seriously? This may give me nightmares, but it also gave me a good laugh!

I’ve been a fan of Joseph Arthur for several years since I came across some of his music. I like this song, “In the Sun”, because of it’s depth. To me, it tells the story of a man who was with a girl who brought out the best (and possibly worst) in him. Now that she’s no longer in his life, he has pictures in his mind of how she’s handling the break-up. And it seems like he wants to apologize, but the opportunity hasn’t presented itself.
I don’t know why, but I just love this song. The instrumentals are done well, his voice fits well, and the lyrics are pretty awesome. Here’s a video of Joseph singing “In the Sun,” it’s not the studio version, but it still sounds pretty good. I hope you enjoy!
In the Sun
Joseph Arthur
I picture you in the sun wondering what went wrong
And falling down on your knees asking for sympathy
And being caught in between all you wish for and all you seen
And trying to find anything you can feel that you can believe in
May God’s love be with you
Always
May God’s love be with you
I know i would apologize if i could see your eyes
‘Cause when you showed me myself i became someone else
But i was caught in between all you wish for and all you need
I picture you fast asleep
A nightmare comes
You can’t keep awake
May God’s love be with you
Always
May God’s love be with you
‘Cause if i find
If i find my own way
How much will i find
If i find
If i find my own way
How much will i find
You
I don’t know anymore
What it’s for
I’m not even sure
If there is anyone who is in the sun
Will you help me to understand
‘Cause i been caught in between all I wish for and all I need
Maybe you’re not even sure what it’s for
Any more than me
May God’s love be with you
Always
May God’s love be with you
This is an interesting song by The Fray. It’s about a man asking God some questions, like, “where were you?” I haven’t processed through it, but though i’d share it with all of you.
You Found Me
The Fray
I found God
On the corner of First and Amistad
Where the west
Was all but won
All alone
Smoking his last cigarette
I said, “Where you been?”
He said, “Ask anything.”
Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
It never came
To the corner of First and Amistad
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me
In the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who’s ever known
Who I am
Who I’m not, and who I want to be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me
Early morning
The city breaks
I’ve been calling
For years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve
Taking all I want
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Where were you, where were you?
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me
As I continue looking for new songs, I am continually amazed how talented Chris Tomlin is. For those of you who don’t know who he is, let’s just say that he’s kind of a big deal in Christian music… almost like… well, there is no comparison. Time and again he writes excellent songs and this is no exception. We recently played this song at our Covenant Community gathering at Grace.
I think sometimes we forget who is in charge. It’s not a mayor, governor, or president… but God. We can influence our communities… our cities. Some friends and I were recently inspired by our church’s Weekend of Service that we have decided that we want to contribute to our community by serving the homeless. It started out as, “we’ll cook meals and take them downtown on Tuesdays.” But then we realized that there are already organizations out there doing these things, so we’re going to connect with them.
Anyways… back to Tomlin. It’s a great song… enjoy!
God of This City
Chris Tomlin
You’re the God of this city
You’re the King of these people
You’re the Lord of this nation
You Are
For there is no one like our God
There is no one like our God
Greater things have yet to come
Great things are still to be done
In this city
Greater things are still to come
And greater things are still to be done here
You’re the Lord of Creation
The Creator of all things
You’re the King above all Kings
You Are
You’re the strength in our weakness
You’re the love to the broken
You’re the joy in the sadness
You Are
Greater things have yet to come
Great things are still to be done
In this city
Where glory shines from hearts alive
With praise for you and love for you
In this city
Greater things have yet to come
Great things are still to be done
In this city
Greater things are still to come
And greater things are still to be done here
