A Song For Today

I've been repeatedly inspired by this song we sing in church a lot. I thought I'd post this today because It has been a great reminder for me of the life we were designed to live. This song brings to light the social injustice of our world & our responsibility to "GIVE with the life we've been GIVEN & go BEYOND religion to see the world be changed". I try to listen to it every day. I send thanks to Josh Bronleewee for introducing me to it AND for telling me that the piano in the intro was played by Lincoln's grandmother & the heartbeat in the intro was that of Lincoln's unborn child from an early ultrasound. I love hearing about the inspiration behind an amazing song. Every line of this song melts my heart and brings OUR true purpose to the forefront of my mind. How blessed am I today? Very. 

If you'd like to sample the song before purchasing it in iTunes, you can see parts of it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CEfrzTN28o . But I recommend spending the 99 cents. :) Enjoy.

The Power Of Your Name 

written by Lincoln Brewster & Mia Fields

Surely children weren't made for the streets

And Fathers were not made to leave

Surely this isn't how it should be

Let your kingdom come

Surely nations were not made for war

Or the broken meant to be ignored

Surely this couldn't be what You saw

Let Your kingdom come

Here in my heart

And I will live to carry your compassion

To love a world that's broken

To be your hands and feet

And I will give with the life that I've been given

And go beyond religion to see the world be changed

By the power of Your Name

Surely life wasn't made to regret

And the lost were not made to forget

Surely faith without action is dead

Let Your Kingdom come

Lord break this heart

Jesus Your Name

Is a shelter for the hurting

Your Name

Is a refuge the weak

Only Your Name

Can take the undeserving

Jesus Your Name

Holds everything I need
