truths from relient k

so relient k is my favorite band ever...
it's not cuz i've liked them since i was in 8th grade (even though i have) or because they have some very witty songs and sayings (even though they do).
i love relient k because even in the midst of a cd full of silly songs about horses and the 80's and charles in charge, they slap you in the face with a song that defines your soul. or a song that makes you realize how faithless you are. or a song that makes you see how wrong you are. or a song that simply leaves you amazed at the grace of God.

so here you go...
a song and a prayer...

Balloon Ride

There were times in my life when I was confused.
There were things between me and God that were blocking my view.
So I prayed,
"Oh dear Lord, take these things away so I can see."
He answered my prayer and at the sight of Him
I fell to my knees.

And until I went onto that fateful trip.
I thought I was on a sinking ship.

Until,
I went on a balloon ride
(I could see everything from up there).
I went on a balloon ride
And now everything seems clear.

I strive towards infinity.
Though sometimes I don't know what to do.
When other people laugh at me
All I do is look towards You.

Well on my through this life yet something was gone.
I looked round and round and then I found I needed some one.
So I prayed,
"Oh dear Lord, fill me up and make me whole.
Present in my life Jesus Christ, save my soul."

"Lord, help me to see my life from your view! help me to live for the big picture, and not just for myself! help me to take away the things that are bigger than you and make You and Your glorious plan the only thing i can see!"

i will do another song another day... this one is today's song.
tomorrow's song will be even better...
