It's 12:38AM on the 8th. But I haven't gone to sleep yet, so I don't think that counts as missing a day. I had every intent of blogging before going to sleep. It's still day 7 of April for me. It's the 7th in America still. I could go on forever about why this isn't late, but we all know that it's nearly an hour late. I'm sorry, but I'm not.
So right now I'm really digging Jars of Clay. I've dugged them (what?) for a while now, but I go through phases of my few favourite bands. For the past month it's been the Killers pretty non-stop, but tonight it's by far the Jars of Clizzle. They have a new album coming out in 2 weeks and I'm gonna buy it like the day it comes out. If it's released over here at the same time. I'll ring Word or Koorong about it soon.
Me and a friend are discussing the lyrics to the song Good Monsters. This has been one of my favourites recently, mainly because I began listening to what it said. It's all about how we have the power to be destructive and do wrong, but some of us choose not to. We're the Good Monsters, who have the power to do evil but don't. So basically it's about being meek. Not all monsters are bad, but the ones who are good never do what they could.
Currently the song I have on repeat is This Road. It is a beautifully crafted song, very poetic and submitting to God. It's also very humble, which I find in mostly every song by Jars of Clay.
All heavy laden, acquainted with sorrow
May Christ in our marrow carry us home.
From alabaster come blessings of laughter
A fragrance of passion and joy from the truth
Grant the unbroken tears ever flowing
From hearts of contrition only for You
May sin never hold true that love never broke through
For God's mercy holds us and we are His own
This road that we travel, may it be the straight and narrow
God give us peace and grace from You, all the day
Shelter with fire, our voices we raise still higher
God give us peace and grace from You, all the day through
