It's raining and i'm overjoyed. I love the heightened colours and the change in scents and the chill bite of the air when it rains. I'm sitting on my bed looking out the window and listening to music and i heard this song and thought I'd post the lyrics. :) It's a good call to think. And repent and love our God for all he's done for us.

"Hosea's Wife"

I just spoke silence with the seeker next to me
She had a heart with hesitant, halting speech
That turned to mine and asked belligerently
"What do I live for?"

I see the scars of searches everywhere I go
From hearts to wars to literature to radio
There's a question like a shame no one will show
"What do I live for?"

We are Hosea's wife
We are squandering this life
Using people like ladders and words like knives

[CHORUS]
If we've eyes to see
If we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths
The word that saves is near
Shed that shallow skin
Come and live again
Leave all you were before
To believe is to begin

There is truth in little corners of our lives
There are hints of it in songs and children's eyes
It's familiar, like an ancient lullaby
What do I live for?

We are Hosea's wife
We are squandering this life
Using bodies like money and truth like lies

[CHORUS]

[Bridge]
We are more than dust
That means something
That means something
We are more than just
Blood and emotions
Inklings and notions
Atoms on oceans

Ooh, I think I'm in love. :D

Well, the time of the year is here when even the most staunch resistors will allow the playing of Christmas music. :D My life this week has been pretty much consumed by Christmas music, as my choir, The Collegiate Singers, is holding Christmas concerts every night this week and a few of the daytimes too. :D But with all the old favorites coming out this month, I stumbled across a new favorite...yes, i'm completely revealing my extremely nerdy side, but here it is, (and i haven't heard all of them yet, but here are a few.... Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you..... (drum roll please...or at least the stomp of stormtrooper boots)....

Christmas in the Stars!

A Star Wars Christmas
(they got Anthony Daniels as the voice of 3PO!!)









(That one actually had a young Jon Bon Jovi singing in the choir...yah, this is a rather old album)





(There's a few more at imeem if you look, Christmas in the Stars, or The Star Wars Christmas Album)
Heehee :D
