A friend of mine named Rob Antecki is in a band called The Backstrokes.  He asked that we all share this if we wanted to.  I figured I would.

Song: Walking Her Home

Here are the lyrics, so far, of a song by Mark Schultz that he performs live, but hasn’t yet finished writing. It’s supposed to be on his next album. I can’t wait to hear the final version of it.
Walking Her Home
Mark Schultz
Lookin back
he sees it all
it was her first date the night [...]


Hurricane Katrina Reactions

Praise You in this Storm
Casting Crowns
I was sure by now God,
You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
that it’s still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain,
“I’m with you”
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God [...]


Song: Prodigal

Prodigal
Casting Crowns
Living on my own, thinking for myself
Castles in the sand, temporary wealth
Walls are falling down, storms are closing in
Tears have filled my eyes, here I am again
And I’ve held out as long as I can
Now I’m letting go and holding out my hand
Daddy, here I am again, will You take me back tonight
I went [...]


Song: This Man by Jeremy Camp || Lord of the Rings

A song today… it’s been a while since I’ve posted lyrics, and after a long long long post, I think it’s time for a short one. This song, although simple, is very deep at the same time.
This Man
Jeremy Camp
In only a moment truth was seen
Revealed this mystery
The crown that showed no dignity he [...]


Song: Things I Prayed For

Artist: Eli
Things I prayed for when I was young
That my father would love me like his only son
That my mother would be patient with me
And my sister would not leave
And if my grandpa could see me beyond his grave
That he’d think his little man was so great
That my hair would not stick up in weird [...]


Song: Eileen’s Song

Burlap to Cashmere
Refrain: You have one wing
and I have another
Seeking shelter like sister and brother
Through the winter and through the summer
Like one angel we’ll
Fly far away
Hold my hand and we’ll make it all right
From this hell that we live in
Cross the road until the light
Comes inside and lives within
It’s a long and lonesome ride
When your [...]


Song: Princes and Frogs

Got this from my AWESOME friend Jaci:
You hate humans is what you say
And I understand how you feel that way
All girls dream of a fairy tale
But what you got is like a used car salesman
Trying to conceal what’s wrong
Behind a smile and a song
And I’m not saying that
Boys are not like that
But I think you [...]


Song: Mood Rings

Artist: Relient K
We all know the girls that I am talking about
Well they are time bombs and they are ticking
And the only question’s when they’ll blow up
And they’ll blow up; we know that without a doubt
Cause they’re those girls, yeah you know those girls that let their emotions get the best of them
And I’ve contrived [...]
