Easter....

It's a georgeous day today. Good Friday. It's supposed to rain a little on Sunday. Easter. Kind of backwards, don't you think?

Oh, well, I think the resurrection of Christ is powerful enough to stand a little meteorological irony.

About once every couple of years I'll hear a Christian song by accident and totally dig it. I'm still in that phase where I say I can't stand most Christian music. Actually, I think I'm out of that phase. I don't refrain from it because it's not cool anymore. I genuinely think it's bad. But I listen to a lot of other bad music on the radio that isn't Christian music that I totally enjoy, so the occasional CCM song that is meant to manipulate my emotions (although, isn't that what all good music does anyway) makes it's way into my ears and soothes me. There's this song by a group called Casting Crowns, that sounds a lot like my previous guilty CCM pleasure 40 days, that I'm totally digging.

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You're


I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours
