Morning radio
I think I can safely predict that the local Christian radio station will play at least one of these three songs every morning:
"The Motions" by Matthew West
"Today is the Day" by Lincoln Brewster
"As It Is In Heaven" by Matt Maher
At least that's the way it has appeared over the past few weeks.

The language of expediency
I meant to write about this last fall after driving by a church that had the following message on its sign: TTYL, I'll BRB. - Jesus
Personally, I believe church signs end up being more humourous than life-changing whereas others are just mind-boggling (as in why?). Remember the church sign generator that was a big hit in the blogosphere a while back? Well, I figure some of the real ones are probably funnier than anything I could ever come up with.
Anyways, back to this particular sign. As much as it's a groaner, it definitely points to our culture's use of shortcuts in language. We're so used to having everything instantly that even our speech is shortened to make this possible. This made me think about the songs that we sing in church, especially the songs that are sung during the young adults worship services.
I know complaining about worship music isn't new but this has been a growing frustration for me. Why is it that the majority of the songs that we now sing are composed of three or four word sentences? Without naming any particular songs, here is an example of what we seem to be singing nowadays:
God is here / Let us come / We raise our hands / And lift our voices / To worship Him / With our songs / And our hearts / Together we sing / Of His love / etc.
So not only are we singing simple sentences, one after another, but they don't say very much at all (yes, I know I made three references to singing all at once but there are some songs out there that do this)! These songs end up becoming more about us than about God. There's a lack of theology and of the richness and beauty that accompanies the hymns and psalms that we once sang. I don't want to lose that in the quest to reduce things into smaller, shorter, quicker "packages". I'm not advocating that we go back to archaic language that says a lot and isn't easily understandable but I am suggesting that we be more intentional about what we sing as we praise God - are we singing these songs just to get lost in the emotion or are we worshipping God in spirit and in truth as He has revealed Himself through Christ and the Bible?
Okay, maybe I'm a bit biased as I do prefer this to this :)
What finally prompted this post is this text abbreviation post from SCL. Hilarious. And I hope not true... although WOTAM fits in nicely with what I've just written.

Missions music
I'm doing something that I have not done in years - look for a song for a video. And now that I'm searching for just the right music, I remember how this was such a difficult and frustrating task. Granted, I mostly worked on camp and summer mission trip videos for youth so I had a bit more freedom to use any genre of music but now, I have to find something that will be appropriate and touching for a wide range of adults. I do have the last resort of stock music but even when I made videos for youth, I exhausted so much of it that I started to recognize it when local radio or TV stations used the same songs!
I'm trying to juggle all sort of things in my mind as I go through my music collection right now, such as the length of the song, its lyrics, if there are annoying beginnings/middles/ends that have to be edited out, etc. So far, I haven't come up with many songs because I do have a specific theme and mood that I'm after, and some songs are just too melancholy to be used in its entirety while others are overplayed, which is why I would prefer a more obscure Christian artist. I know, I'm too picky - but why is it so hard to find a good missions song? There's a joke that every missions video uses Audio Adrenaline's "Hands and Feet" (or MercyMe's "Here Am I") and I think the reason is because there aren't that many songs that are about missions. And when they are - watch out! It'll get used in every slideshow presentation, no matter who or what it's for :)
Honourable mentions:
"Go" - MercyMe
"To the Ends of the Earth" - Hillsong United
"Go and Be" - Audio Adrenaline
"Here I Am Send Me" - Delirious?

Take me away
Love is far away
Loneliness is all I have to hold
Whenever hope is out of time
The picture's so unclear
I stumble tryin' to find the light of day
Take me away to the oasis
I wanna be with You in quiet places
Your face is all I ever want to see
Take me away, say that You love me
I need to be with You and with You only
You're Holy
That is what I want to be
Whenever I replay the past
And listen to my fears
Tell myself I'll never be forgiven
That's when You come erase my doubts
Drive away my tears
I just say the word and You reach down again
- foreverafter, "Oasis"

Early Easter
I briefly brought this up with my friends tonight but didn't remember the exact references to the years so I thought I'd post it on here. This year, Easter is on the 2nd earliest possible date that it can be on, which has not happened since 1913 and will not occur again until 2160. That's pretty cool :)
I'm looking forward to the Good Friday service at my church and to prepare myself for the end of the Lenten season (which, admittedly I have not done too well with this year), I've been listening to some hymns about Christ's death. I wish I owned a copy of the hymnal that's used at church but I don't. I should rectify this very soon since I'd love to have the words before me as I flip through some familiar songs; Christian bookstores sell hymnals, right?
Anyways, as I've been hearing songs like Were You There and O Sacred Head, Now Wounded, I can't help but think about a comment that one of my classmates made last semester. He was telling us how he and his wife wanted to get married on the Easter weekend but that his pastor didn't want to marry them on that Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The pastor's reasoning was that the Saturday in between was a time of mourning; therefore, my classmate and his wife ended up getting married on the Sunday because that was when the true rejoicing and celebration could take place.
I think as Protestants, we have generally become very quick to jump to the Sunday. I do love that we have all the hope and the joy in the world to look forward to since our Lord is resurrected but I also wonder what it would be like to really dwell on the sadness and grief that covered the dark days preceding Sunday. There's a song on the radio that's been playing for a while now by Tree63 called "Sunday" that I quite like and every time I hear it, it helps me to remember that I need to fully experience the Friday that happened before and to feel its gravity so that Sunday means all the much more. Here are some of its lyrics:
Broken promises, weary heartsFor some reason, Easter hits my heart more deeply than Christmas does (not to diminish Christmas at all though - the incarnation is truly wondrous news!). I think it's due to the simplicity of the holiday and how I'm not so distracted by having to do all of the things I typically would have to do for Christmas. It somewhat sneaks up on me, while at the same time consuming all of my attention because it's impossible to miss. The message of Christ who died and was raised to life again is so overwhelming that I am grateful for the season of preparation and reflection; what a change from the chaos of Christmas. It's a time to really ponder the cross and the empty grave. In these coming days, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of the Passion Week and to take the time to live through each of those days, absorbing all that there is to the Friday, Saturday and (glorious!) Sunday.
But one promise remains:
Crucified, He will come again
It's Friday, but Sunday is coming
It's Friday, but Sunday is coming
Chorus:
Sunday – Hallelujah – it's not so far, it's not so far away
Sunday – Hallelujah – it's not so far, it's not so far away

Techno-babble
I think the minute I get high speed internet (one day in the very distant future), I will download as many online sermons as I have time to listen to. I'm still on dial-up as I have been since the days of free internet with 3web seven years ago. I remember being so excited to finally upgrade from a 14.4k modem to a 28.8k modem, and then to 56k four years ago. It hasn't been too much of a problem remaining on dial-up as I've already acclimated to waiting while sites load and programs download. I think the waiting is good for me because instant internet would probably be addictive; I can already hear thoughts of, "You mean I don't have to wait half an hour for a news clip to load... what year is this?!" and "I don't have to download this at midnight to avoid missing incoming calls? Crazy!" In the meantime, I can continue learning patience as a virtue.
On a non-technology note, I've been realizing lately that I have a lot of worship music. I didn't notice this until today when I was listening to my music on random and Randy Travis came up, singing "Open the Eyes of My Heart". That's right, Randy Travis, Open the Eyes of My Heart. I didn't even know this existed. (If you're wondering, it's off of WOW Worship Red). There has been a movement within Christian music for a while now where practically every artist has released a worship album. Not that there's anything bad about this - although I do have to say how tired I get of Christian fads - but I hate for "worship" to be considered a trend. I read this comment somewhere some time ago: "How many versions of 'I Could Sing of Your Love Forever' do you need, really?" Ooh, did you know that there's a WOW Worship Aqua? I'm looking forward to hearing what other colours will be used now that yellow, orange, blue, green, red already exist.

Too lofty to attain
"In literal terms the Annunciation can only confound us. But the whole story of Jesus is confounding to the literal-minded. It might be a good idea if, like the White Queen, we practised believing six impossible things every morning before breakfast, for we are called on to believe what to many people is impossible. Instead of rejoicing in this glorious 'impossible' which gives meaning and dignity to our lives, we try to domesticate God, to make his mighty actions comprehensible to our finite minds. It is not that the power to understand is not available to us; it is; he has promised it."
- Madeleine L'Engle, 1980, Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art, 82.
"Indescribable uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky
And You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful untamable
Awestruck we fall to our knees
As we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God"
- Laura Story, 2004, "Indescribable"

Of valleys and weakness
...This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we'd be held....
If hope is born of suffering.
If this is only the beginning.
Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior?

Pierced for our transgressions
I always think of this hymn every Good Friday:
Were You There?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

Let this be your sun
I didn't have a chance to listen to a lot of music last semester, but an album I finally got around to has been Mae's Destination: Beautiful. My intentions of listening to it took almost two years, but it was worth it :) The cover design and artwork simply rock.
Don't fake yourself into ever,
Ever thinking about yesterday.
That was then, this is now.
Don't call it undone.
Don't take what you've been dealt.
You can exit out the back and
Make your getaway
Before anyone can see
The damage you have done.

Yet to know
What am I gonna be when I grow up?
How am I gonna make my mark in history?
And what are they gonna write about me when I'm gone?
These are the questions that shape the way I think about what matters
Well I have no guarantee of my next heartbeat
My world's too big to make a name for myself
And what if no one wants to read about me when I'm gone?
It seems to me that right now's the only moment that matters
You know the number of my days
So come paint Your pictures on the canvas of my head
And come write Your wisdom on my heart
Teach me the power of a moment
The power of a moment
The power of a moment

Spiritually honest
I realize my posting has been completely sporadic this semester. I figured people didn't need to know the latest updates on one assignment or another. Plus, I don't get out enough to maintain any form of a social life. Add my uncreativeness to this mix and it means I barely have anything to write about in the first place.
Another thing I've been experiencing lately is how dry my faith has become. I mostly attribute this to my lack of investing time in my relationship with God. I'm sure just like any relationship, if you don't spend time with the other person and think much about them, the less they start to mean to you. You take them for granted and give them a passing thought every once in a while, but at this point it's more of an acquaintance-ship. I fear that that is where I have headed with God. The love that I once had for the Bible, His Word, has diminished by my treating it as a textbook. The prayer times I once craved has been reduced to five lines of the usual plea that I not get into any car accidents that day (which lately, has been on the very top of my priorities). I read something about Jesus, and I add it to my list of facts about Him. I become an automaton who is able to spit out the right jargon and results, but inside I am letting my heart and soul disintegrate.
This is my fault, and I've been letting it slide on for too long. All throughout the semester, I kept telling myself that it would get better during Christmas break. I would finally have time then to devote to God. Obviously, that can't be right. Faith is meant to be lived out everyday, not hoarded for a later date. And of course it had to take me the whole semester to learn that. It's going to take me some time to unlearn all those bad habits I picked up, but I'm thankful God allowed me to see what was actually going on with my life. I suppose it's very easy to delude myself into thinking that busyness isn't harmful but I think I've seen enough repercussions. The bad news is that next semester, I'm taking seven classes and doing a ton of other things that will increase my current load. I either need to come to terms with how my work is interfering with my faith and cut something out or continue going on the way I am. Unfortunately, I don't know that I could give anything up.
"I can't be satisfied to sit along the rivers banks and wait
Somewhere inside of me there's a hunger for what lies beneath the surface
I've spent so long just getting by on borrowed faith and dead religion
I've come this far to only realize I've not come far at all"

Words of the moment
"Sing to Jesus, Lord of our shame
Lord of our sinful hearts
He is our great Redeemer
Sing to Jesus, Honour His name
Sing of His faithfulness, pouring His life out unto death
Come you weary and He will give you rest
Come you who mourn, lay on His breast
Christ who died, risen in Paradise
Giver of mercy, Giver of Life
Sing to Jesus, His is the throne
Now and forever
He is the King of Heaven
Sing to Jesus, we are His own
Now and forever sing for the love our God has shown"

That song
HP Services and Technology has this cool commercial that keeps airing during the Olympics and it plays only the beginning of this one song. It's driving me nuts because I forget what song it is, but it brings me back to high school everytime I hear it. It was part of the graduation video for the class before me, and it was used for some of the football clips when our guys won the city championship that year (the actual victory shots used Queen's "We Are the Champions"). Anyways, the tough thing is there are no lyrics sung so I can't do a search on it. It'll be in my mind until the Olympics are over, ahh!
Funny. Amazon keeps recommending emo and punk music for me. The books they suggest are actually accurate though.

Awww...
It's like the updated rock version of "That Kinda Girl":
"...She's not an ordinary girl
I can see it in her eyes
I'm just an ordinary boy
God must have heard my prayers last night
She's been on my mind (she's working overtime)
She's got perfect reasons, says she loves to talk to Jesus
I think I believe her when she says
Life can be so simple if we'd all just learn to pray
Every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
So say goodbye to the broken-hearted
And I could never express the way I felt before tonight"

'Forever's waiting...'
I was listening to RadioU today and heard a song that they used to play last summer. It's called "The Story of Our Lives" by The Echoing Green and after hearing the song again, I listened to their music all afternoon at work. So good, but I can't find their latest releases anywhere in town. The closest I can get to buying "The Story of Our Lives EP" and "The Winter of Our Discontent" would be through Amazon US (Amazon Canada doesn't have the EP and the CD is out of stock). Maybe it's time I made a trip down to the States!
"Tonight our dreams are in our sights,
as we're lifted out of nowhere
with sunspots in our eyes,
we see the glory of our lives
our hearts are burning bright
as we're lifted out of nowhere
our songs all stay behind
to sing the story of our lives."

The song that inspired this
So, it's been a year since I first started blogging. I don't know if I actually thought I'd last this long, but what an addiction it's been :) Here are the lyrics to the song that inspired the name behind this blog.
After the words have all been said
After the songs are sung
I realize I've only but just begun
Trying to wrap my mind around
Extravagant love come down
Leaves me undone
Finds me with nothing to say
The reach of Your fame
The power in Your name
Your glory surrounds me
It's over my head
It's over my head
The shame of the cross
For all that it cost
Your friendship astounds me
It's over my head
It's over my head
Unquenchable songs and endless praise
A million tongues poised to sing
Could still not convey
The worth that Your name deserves
Beauty for ashes
Joy for pain
Mercy instead of blame
Ruins me for more
I'm lost in Your presence Lord
(Hallelujah)
I'm lost for the words to say
Left here in disarray
Waiting for You, waiting on truth
I've thrown reason overboard
Knowing that there's still more
That I don't yet believe, and I can't yet perceive
I can't seem to understand, I can't seem to find my way
It's over my head, it's over my head
I'm learning this mystery
To trust what I can't conceive
It's over my head, it's over my head
The wonder of all You've made
Foundations Your hands have laid
Bringing me back to my knees to my knees
I'm lost for the words to say
Lost for another way
Ruined for anything other than Your love
I'm desperate to know You Lord
Desperate for what's in store
Finding my hope in only You only You
Take me beyond this door
Lead me to something more
Open my heart for more of You more of You

The five worship songs I skip over in my MP3 player
I don't remember where I found the link to this list of the top five worst worship songs, but it got me thinking about what I've sung over the years. I'm not a music expert or anything, but I know what I like and don't like. And not that I'm getting all picky about the songs I sing to God (I adore both traditional and contemporary styles), it's just that some don't really put me in a worshipful mood. Again, not that I have to be in one to praise God, but I'm a human with tastes and preferences... why I am defending myself on my own blog? :)
So here's my personal list, with songs that are pretty current and mostly well-known. Feel free to add your own.
5. Sing a Song by Third Day
Lance actually posted a little ditty about this song on his blog, which he analyzed a bit more than I will here. My beef is that it seems unnecessary to state that you're singing a song in the lines of a song which you are singing. I hope we don't sing this one in church because I'll be screaming in my head, "I am singing!!" Maybe I won't sing it, but I'll merely think the lyrics over. Then I can say that I do "want to sing a song" without having to sing it but with every intention of doing so.
4. Breathe by Marie Barnett
I'm not a big fan of repetition. It's an okay song, with lots of room for reflection but I sometimes feel sleepy when we sing it. I usually check my watch to see how long the song will carry on and it almost always does for another 5+ minutes, even if there are only six lines to the whole thing. The nice thing is that after you've gone through it three times in a row, you don't have to worry about PowerPoint too much (I did PPT for worship for years so I think I can say that).
3. In The Secret (I Want To Know You) by Andy Park
I always think about women singing to their boyfriends/husbands when I hear this song. Cause you know, I wouldn't mind hearing my boyfriend's voice or seeing his face either. I also get irritated when songs go by two titles, such as "Amazing Love (You Are My King)" or "Hallelujah (Your Love is Amazing)." It's fine if you have someone doing PPT that knows all the different titles to songs, but if you're in a bind and the person doesn't know what you're referring to, it can be a mess.
2. Every Move I Make by David Ruis
I've heard this song used for kids ministry promotions (thanks Willow Creek) a few too many times. I can't even hear a normal version of this song, sung with adult voices, without picturing the Willow videos in my head. I've also heard country versions of it which make no sense because it's a fairly fast action song. It always comes back to the squeaky voice rendition, reminiscent of the Chipmunks going "La la la la la la, la la la la la la la la" (actual lyrics).
1. Your Love is Extravagant by Darrell Evans
I'll have to agree with Sara on this being the 'worst' but for different reasons. The first time I ever heard this song was in chapel where I honestly thought that it was a fellow student's songwriting attempt for a music class. I'm sorry but I feel extremely uncomfortable singing this to God. Now Darrell has some great worship songs out there but I don't quite know what to make of this. These are the lyrics:
Your love is extravagant
Your friendship mmmm intimate
I find I'm moving to the rhythms of your grace
Your fragrance is intoxicating in our secret place
Your love is extravagant
Spread wide in the arms of Christ
Is the love that covers sin
No greater love have I ever known
You considered me a friend
Capture my heart again
First off, God's love is extravagant, very much so, but I'm not knocking that. Yes, friendship with Him is intimate but 'mmmm'? That makes me think of a good meal, or a noise you make in the middle of a telephone conversation you're not listening to. Ignore the fact that I picked on a word composed of one repeated letter. Next line: Poetic-sounding, but what exactly does it mean? Does grace have rhythm? I'm confused, I'm singing that I'm moving to it but am I? Horrors, what if I'm out of rhythm?! The last line of that verse is something I cannot sing without bursting into a fit of giggles. God's smell intoxicates me in a hidden place? Why would anything of God intoxicate me? God does not cause confusion or take away from the clarity of mind, and if He were to do so with smell, I would be the most befuddled Christian. And when I hear the second verse, Yoda appears in my head. Good old Yoda, speaking in backwards compound sentences :)
Honourable Mention: Meet With Me by Ten Shekel Shirt - just 'cause
I hope I didn't come across as ungodly in writing this. My point is only in that you actually take the time to pick apart what you've just sung to God. I'd rather be slightly too critical than mindless and devoid of brain activity when I'm offering my praises to Him. My mind is a part of the living sacrifice and I want to make sure that what I sing with my mouth won't be something I disagree with in my head.
I like this comment that was left on that page:
"Singing about 'dancing in a river while hugging the creator of the universe that sings over me because I'm so special that Jesus will hug me forever while I imagine that angels' wings are brushing my tears away with a la la hoo yah peaceful easy feeling' seems to me to make a mockery of worship." - gaw
Yeah, that's it, mouth shuts now (fingers stop typing, wind sings, birds glide gracefully, atoms split).

The new life You've given me...
I love poetry with brilliant rhymes,
And songs that draw me in
With clever opening lines
I love rainy Sunday afternoons
Being kissed by sun,
And dreaming under the moon
The way the ocean feels at high tide,
The gentle stillness of midnight, Oh I-
I love the way You are so good to me,
I love the way You're so inspiring,
I don't know why You love me like You do,
But I love You.
I love all the signs of city life,
And marvel at the way
The world just hurries by
I love breathing in the mountain air,
Climbing to the top,
And finding that You're there
Catching glimpses of Your mysteries,
I find Your fingerprints on everything
What I mean
I hear Your music everywhere,
So gentle, yet so strong,
Your melody floats on the air,
And every time I hear You there,
I've got to sing along

Perspectified
For the last four months, I have had the wonderful blessing of being able to take part in a course called Perspectives on the World Christian Movement. Not only has it been a challenging course, it has changed my life direction. I used to have the mentality that missions was something that other people were gifted at, not me. I saw it as one of those lucrative callings that only certain special Christians would have. Although I participated in short-term missions, I didn't see missions as something I would ever participate in for more than a week or so. How wrong I was! This class has helped me to truly understand the Great Commission and the biblical mandate that just as Jesus was sent, so are we also. We spent the first month or so pouring through the Bible and using it as the basis for making disciples of all nations. Then, on that biblical foundation, we moved into more aspects of what it means to be a World Christian. (Don't worry, I didn't say "worldly" Christian - you can't be a worldly Christian if you wish to be a World Christian).
It's been a lot of work so far: fifteen weekly quizzes, five personal responses, almost 700 pages of reading, an integrated project, a midterm and a final; but it has been worth all that time and effort. In just four months, my mentality has changed completely. I went from a selfish model of being afraid of going into the world and choosing to remain in my comfortable lifestyle to one that is heartbroken over the unreached and desirous that all would bow at the name of Jesus.
Here is a snippet of the introduction from the last lesson:
"Now that you have perspective on the world Christian movement you can no longer be an onlooker. Step into the movement. God gives you a place and a role. When God calls anyone, He does not call people to go away from Him to distant places. God always calls His servants closer to Himself. He may call you to be closer to Him as He works among the poor of Cairo, or the Hindus of Delhi, or the Muslims of Jakarta. He may call you to be with Him as He renews His churches in America to risky faith and blazing hope. You may not know where you will go, or what He wants you to do years from now, but you do know the One who has promised to fill the earth with glory. You have embraced the purpose upon which He has set His own passion. You are free to follow Him with the same single-hearted hope."
I remember hearing in class, "You should not ask if it is God's will that you go. You should pray and ask if it is God's will that you stay!" If that's the case, I know I can't remain comfortable in my life or complacent in my faith. In any case, God's going to use my life somehow. I'll be waiting to see where He takes me.
"Your heart I seek to find
With Your hands You fashioned mine
Let me be used to carry out the truth
To the ends of the earth
'Til everyone's heard
My mended heart will share Your words
I will tell the world that You are God"
- Zoegirl "Beautiful Name"
