I don’t know about everyone else, but while I was growing up, I was very, very religious. And while my beliefs have changed dramatically as I’ve gotten older, my love for the music I listened to then did not. And since I’m going home next week for Thanksgiving, and I’ll see all of my old youth group friends for the first time in six years… I’ve been getting very nostalgic. So I started listening to some of the old music again… waking up old memories. Feeling old feelings.
Here is an image inspired by one of my favorite songs, by a band called Jars of Clay.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In open fields of wild flowers,
she breathes the air and flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daises and the roses
in no simple language
Someday she’ll understand the meaning of it all
He’s more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on her lips
Someday she’ll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He’ll call her and she will come running
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and she’ll pray,
“I want to fall in love with You.”
