Music, Music, Music

So this will come as no surprise to anyone who knows me. But I LOVE music. We're talking can't live without it. It is rare for me to not have itunes running at the house, earbuds stuck in my ears, or the radio turned up loud in the car. It is what God has most often used to comfort me, convict me, love me, minster and reveal Himself to me. I have been completely stuck on the song "None but Jesus" for about a year now. (If you've gotten an email from me a line from it is the tag line in my signiture--it's my favorite!) I can listen to the song 20X in a row for days in a row and not be sick of it. It is a reminder of who God is and how He loves us and what our reponse to Him should be. It makes me smile and it makes me cry and it makes me just sigh in awe of Him. Do you have something (a song, a verse, a quote) that does that for you? That just completely fills you up? Share please!! :)

"None But Jesus"
~Hillsong
In the quiet, in the stillness I know that You are God
In the secret of Your presence I know there I am restored
When You call I won't refuse
Each new day again I'll choose
There is no one else for me None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free Now I live to bring Him praise
In the chaos, in confusion I know You're Sovereign still
In the moment of my weakness You give me grace to do Your will
When You call I won't delay
This my song through all my days
There is no one else for me None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free Now I live to bring Him praise
All my delight is in You Lord
All of my hope, all of my strength
All my delight is in You Lord Forevermore

My current song is Starfield's Reign In Us. It is the desperate cry of a fallen people who recognize how far we are from God's holiness and how badly we need His redemptive grace in our lives.

You thought of us before the
world began to breathe
And you knew our names before we came to be
You saw the very day we'd fall away from you
And how desperately we need to be redeemed

Lord Jesus come lead us
We're desperate for your touch

Oh Great and Mighty One, with one desire we come
That you would reign, that you would reign in us
We're offering up our lives, a living sacrifice
That you would reign, that you would reign in us

Spirit of the Living God fall fresh again
Come search our hearts and purify our lives
We need your perfect love
We need your discipline
We're lost unless you guide us with your light

So reign, please reign in us
Come purify our hearts we need your touch
Come cleanse us like a flood and send us out
So the world may know you reign, you reign in us
