Music Monday [Everything Good]



This week's song is by Ashes Remain.  It is one of those songs that doesn't need much of an explanation.  It just points to God as being our everything good.  As He should be.


You are oxygen
On a late night drive
To clear my head when hope has passed me by
You are gravity
When I'm upside down
You help me find my way back to the ground
And this is why

(Chorus)
You're everything good, everything true
When all the world is fading, You're everything new
You are my eyes, when I can't see
When all the world is broken, You will always be
Everything good

You are all I have, and all I need
And all I am is what You've made of me
And this is why

Chorus

You're everything good to me
You're everything that I need
And this is why...



God is the reason for our existence.  God is our anchor.  God is the way.  God is....good.  

Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, 
whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-- 
if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-- 
think about such things."


Why do I blog about music once a week?  Because the music that I hear on my radio connects me to God.  You are not the only one who has the right song delivered at the right time.  That happens to me too.  It speaks to the power that music gives as a vehicle for God to speak to us, and then for us to worship Him.  Music connects our souls with God.  It goes deep, it connects our feelings, and it speaks our praise.  It speaks that everything good is God, and He is everything that we need.  And this is why...

Music Monday [Under Fire]







I have a secret addiction to the music of Abandon.  Yeah...I know.... since were friends...now you know.  Read the lyrics below and see why.


They try to trip us up
They try to make us doubt
Make us question what this life's about
Our minds are criminal
They try to steal the soul
This moment's pivotal who we chose to follow

(Chorus)
We are under fire but we know, we know
The truth in our hearts
We are under fire but we hold, we hold
The proof of who You are
And though we haven't seen Your face
We know that we walk by faith
We are under fire
But it only burns, burns all doubt away
All doubt away

They tell us we're all fools
That our minds are weak
How can we put our hope in someone we can't see
They come with ridicule
To say that You're a fake
But we are not alone, You endured the same

We're chasing what's real
We're chasing what's true
We know it's God
We know it's You
We know it's God
It's got to be You


Sometimes you have to shout it.  No...every time you need to shout about your faith. Always be ready to give an answer to the hope that you have found in Jesus Christ.  Whether you are aware of it or not...the world is hurting, and searching for answers.  Do you have hope?  It can only be found in Jesus.  It's real, it's true.  


Don't let the popular sway you.  Don't be drowned by doubt because your feelings tell you something different.  Be strong in your faith and continue your commitment to the gospel.  Live your faith like it is real.  Be a God chaser.  


Do you come under fire for your faith?
