Worship

Last night Brad and I and a couple from church went to Winter Jam 2013. It is a concert with 10 of the lasted christian artists. Charleston is the first stop of the tour and I think they said they make 44 stops in 3 months. It was my first concert since 1997 when the school music teacher took a bunch of us to a Michael W Smith concert so I wasn't sure what to expect.

Overall it was really good, When the music wasn't head banging stuff and you could understand what was being said. It was great to be with a community of people who have the same goal as you; to worship God. There were small devotions and bible verses read throughout. It was great to hear songs that I hear on the radio but maybe don't pay much attention to and really listen to the words and focus on praising God. While it will take my ear drums several years to recover, I do want to take the kids when they are older.


Here are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs of the night. "live like that" by Sidewalk Prophets. If you want to see the actual video, which has more affect than just reading the words, look it up on You Tube.

Sometimes I think
What will people say of me
When I'm only just a memory
When I'm home where my soul belongs

Was I love
When no one else would show up
Was I Jesus to the least of those
Was my worship more than just a song

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that
I want to live like that

Am I proof
That You are who you say You are
That grace can really change a heart
Do I live like Your love is true

People pass
And even if they don't know my name
Is there evidence that I've been changed
When they see me, do they see You

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that
I want to live like that


I want to show the world the love You gave for me
I'm longing for the world to know the glory of the King

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that
I want to live like that
