ok... i'm going to keep the blog going. i'm not going to switch to Xanga because there are a few things which i feel i can be justified in hating....er...umm...strongly disliking, a few of them being Windows, Xanga, and the Toronto Maple Leafs.

so josh is coming home tonight, ceelebration starts tomorrow, vacation is after that. it's going to be a busy couple of weeks. i'm really excited for celebration, and i can't wait to see what God is going to do...

speaking of celebration (and to make this post a little longer), here are the lyrics to a song that my dad and i wrote for celebration:

(verse one / pre-chorus)

Before time You looked on us with favor
Predestined us in love
To be Your precious ones
Sacrificed Your Son to pay our ransom
Death exchanged for life
Because of Jesus Christ

Bought with a price
We will glorify
Our Savior and Lord

(chorus)
Jesus
This life is for You, All about You
To You be the glory
Jesus
This life is for You, All about You
To You be the glory

(verse two / pre-chorus)

Our desire is to reflect you glory
In everything we do
O Lord it’s all for you
May your name be in all praised the nations
By every tongue and tribe
Exalting Jesus Christ

Bought with a price
We will glorify
Our Savior and Lord


The theme for celebration is "It's All About You" so rather than bringing back and (re)over-hashing that slightly antiquated Paul Oakley gem we decided to write a new (and more upbeat) song with sort of the same theme.

good idea. to make a new song I mean, and not just steal the (overused) one.

a lame blog is better than a great xanga. (haha)

I actually really like the original song. It has powerful words. However, I love the new one. Partly because of who wrote it, but also because of the words of the song. Plus, the music is amazing. I guess it speaks to the 80's rocker buried below the country fan.
