la musica

I've been trying to pick up the guitar for years now. Well, halfheartedly putting forth effort to learn guitar. I thought I'd share with you the first, and only song so far, in which my right and left hands don't become bipolar when I try to throw in the element of vocals. This is very rough, as I have yet to really learn to play the guitar, or sing for that matter, but hey, you get some fun falsetto too. I wanted to share a song that has been running through my head lately. Not solely because it's the only song I can play/sing, but because it has such a great message that I need to hear over and over. Lift up and praise the Son, and don't worry about gaining anything else but him. Ben and Robin Pasley rock this on Enter the Worship Circle, Circle 4, if you're interested in hearing it in its original state. Check them out, they have been instrumental, no pun intended, in my faith and its growth by allowing me to worship God through their music.

Higher and Higher
Ben and Robin Pasley

V.1 Why would the people of the earth, sell their soul for a feeling
Soon to fade, soon to fade, soon to fade away
Why would the kings of the earth, dare to build a kingdom
Soon to fade, soon to fade, soon to fade away

TIE: But here we come, and we bow down, Watch us kiss the Son

CH. We kiss the Son, we come undone
We lift him higher and higher
We kiss the King, he means everything
We lift him higher and higher

V.2 Why would the nations of the earth, make war for a power
Soon to fade, soon to fade, soon to fade away
Why would the ruler of the earth, try to own everything
Soon to fade, soon to fade, soon to fade away

Galatians 5:6

The means to love begins with trust,

and faith in Him who forms with dust.

But how, O Lord, shall I attain,

to a love for those whom I disdain?

A love with strength enough to bless,

and pray for those who bring forth stress?

Sweet resolve rests in your Book of Life,

breathed out for ones born into strife.

Again, I ask, remind my soul,

before unbelief may take its toll.

That your sovereign goodness is worthy of trust,

ushering in freedom to again adjust;

From complacent heart to one brimming with love,

rooted deep within your Son above.

Careful religion nor its disregard amount to much,

nonetheless, I am apt to run to such.

For in Christ Jesus, the plan superior,

is one in relation to the interior;


Faith expressed in love.
