All that I could want, and nothing that I need." To me it is about being eternally minded and not temporal since it all fades away. You're right that the only things of worth (relationships) are given their value because of our relationship with Christ. <BR/>Good to hear you and baby are doing well- I love the cute "bump" pics!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00915583174733985651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23612474.post-14514824148689597082008-02-12T11:24:00.000-05:002008-02-12T11:24:00.000-05:00Sorry it took me so long to comment . . . I find ...Sorry it took me so long to comment . . . <BR/><BR/>I find I have to change the words to lots of songs we sing at church. I always wonder if I'm just too uptight, but I can't bring myself to sing words to God that I don't mean.<BR/><BR/>The one that makes me laugh the most (this isn't a serious theological point, it just makes me giggle) is the song "I Could Sing of Your Love Forever." Way back when we were working at Centrifuge, the praise band would end one night with this song, and they would sing it over and over and over. It really felt like they were going to sing of God's love forever. Of course, the kids didn't mind because they only experienced this worship time once. We staff, however, experienced this once a week all summer. I got to where I just couldn't sing the word "forever" because I wasn't sure I really could sing it forever. If that was a test of Christian endurance, I failed.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I think it's good to really think about the words of songs, because we are singing them from our heart to God. Insincere worship can't sound as sweet to Him.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00729514185619837257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23612474.post-69669193106754928752008-02-10T12:12:00.000-05:002008-02-10T12:12:00.000-05:00Hey Joni!Reading your post reminded me of the song...Hey Joni!<BR/><BR/>Reading your post reminded me of the song, People Get Ready...Jesus is Coming by Crystal Lewis. I don't know if this is the song you are talking about or not, but there is a line in the song that reads, "This world has nothing for me. I find my peace and joy soley in you. Only in You."<BR/>For me, the song is just about focusing on the Lord's return and not finding sole contentment in anything but Christ. So, I think this song is somehow meant to encourage others to "get ready" and to make sure that they "know Him well." I think that Justin's suggestion is right on. While there is a lot of joy and love that we as Christians will experience in our walk here on earth, this world truly is not our home. So, again I think the song is just trying to pull Christians and non-Christians away from living for the world and themselves, but instead focus on Christ'coming. Good thoughts, Joni.shauna chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415241600398371189noreply@blogger.com
