Juekbox Friday- Rock out some deep feelings....



This is very applicable for my week. Not going to delve further into it, I just know this song fits. This is the old skool Skillet - when I first realized that you can talk about God/Jesus/cool things and still rock. Sorry if it is a bit rough for all the mellower folks.


"I Can"

Looking on the sad times, the guilt and all the shame
I have learned to submit my existing hurts and pains
All the grief I've learned to set aside

'Cause I am, I am, I am
Feeling underooted feeling undermined
Can this grace of God cover me this time?

When I feel the pain I know why I feel strange
When I hear the rooster crow I am ashamed
Jesus on the cross and this cross upon my back
I have learned to submit then I whine about my lack

Sometimes I drop my cross, deserve a little rest
That's when I run to you and I nail your feet and your wrist

I'm feeling underooted feeling undermined
Can this grace of God cover me this time?

Do you really love my soul, even after I hated you?
Do you really know my name, can I really come to you?
Are you really more faithful than the changing of the seasons and the morning sun?
Do you really know my name, can I really come to you?
I can, I don't care if the rooster crows
I can


Oh fine, you want mellow? How about a bedtime melody? I can do that too. This one is really cool:



(1:02) "dream of Paris, France...."

When I was a young thing there was a Christian rocker named Larry Norman. He had a song called "Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music".

Wonder what ever happened to him?

Good song, btw.

Ok, so I just wiki'ed him and it turns out he passed away in February. Which makes me feel sad.

Anyway, he was the "father of Christian rock" and influenced all sorts of people, including U2 and the Pixies, if you can believe that.

I'll go super poke someone now.
