You'll get used to my music rants

If you know me, you know that when I find music I like, I tell the whole world. My best friend Macy has even admitted that she has been disappointed when hearing music that I go on for days about because I have built up so much anticipation and great expectations of it. Welp, I'm about to go for a rant..so just go along with it...although really you should listen to it because it's great.

JOSH GARRELS, EVERYBODY.

Shoot.

What beautiful lyrics about life and Jesus.

The best part is that his latest album is a free download right here:

Or you can just listen to it there, too! :)

One song that I have been listening to on repeat for DAYS is called "Father Along." He sings the lyrics pretty quickly, so there's lot of them. I'm the kind of person that cannot enjoy music until I know what it's about and understand it. The first thing I did was look up the lyrics to this song so I could sit down and process them. Let me tell you, I read them over and over again. Here's just a bit from the end of the song:

Still I get hard pressed on every side
Between the rock and a compromise
Like the truth and pack of lies fightin’ for my soul
And I’ve got no place left go
Cause I got changed by what I’ve been shown
More glory than the world has known
Keeps me ramblin’ on

Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall
I’m free to love once and for all
And even when I fall I’ll get back up
For the joy that overflows my cup
Heaven filled me with more than enough
Broke down my levee and my bluff
Let the flood wash me

And one day when the sky rolls back on us
Some rejoice and the others fuss
Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess
That the son of god is forever blessed
His is the kingdom, we’re the guests
So put your voice up to the test
Sing Lord, come soon

I love that it says "more glory than the world has known keeps me ramblin on. Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall I'm free to love once and for all." Macy and I always talk about how we just ramble on about things. This post is even titled as a rant. But, seriously, the Lord's glory can be something that can be so simple and to the point, yet it can be something that can literally keep you ramblin on. For minutes. For hours. For days. And one day it'll be eternity. I'd say that's something to ramble about.

And just the picture of that freedom. Once and for all we are free to just love and be His. FREEDOM.

ANYWHO..I've really been praying that the Lord would provide and equip me to "take up my mat and walk" like I talked about in my last post. It's tough, but the Lord is revealing new things to me each day.

Spring break all week :)
