Cool Stuff in my Devos

Well I just woke up and read some cool stuff in my devotional. I’m on like week 6 or 7, and it’s talking this week about Community. Community within church, friends, etc. Todays was pretty cool, because it talked about how we put on masks in life, and when people ask “How are you?” we always reply with “I’m fine.” While in reality, we may not really be fine, and we may be having a bad day, or worse.

The devotional reminded me of a Switchfoot song off their latest album “Beatiful Letdown” (lol, yes, I finally picked it up. I didn’t believe [info]switchette before, but I do now, the album is awesome!). Anyways, there’s a song on there called “More than Fine” where the lyrics spoke to me in that way (even though they were meant in another way, lol). Here’s the lyrics.

More Than Fine
(Switchfoot)

When I wake in the morning
I want to blow into pieces.
I want more than just okay, more than just okay.

When I’m up with the sunrise.
I want more than just the blue skies
I want more than just okay, more than just okay.

I’m not givin’ up, givin’ up now.
I’m not givin’ up, not backing down.

More than fine, more than bent on getting by.
More than fine, more than just okay.

When I’m lit with the sunshine,
I want more than just a good time
I want more than just okay, more than just okay.

More than oceans away from the dawn
More than oceans away from who we are.
More than oceans, more than oceans
More than fine.

Awesome Song, I think it’s by Steve Fee, but I’m not sure, lol. =P

Here are the words, let it capture you. Gosh, I want to use this for worship some time, but not sure when yet…

What Else Can I Do But Worship

Your love for me is a healing comfort for me
Your grace to me is a matchless gift to me
Your power in me is a mighty river in me

At the end of the day with the setting of the sun
After all that is said and done

What else can I do but worship?
What else can I do but bow?
‘Cuz all I really long for is You
All I really yearn for is You

Your Sovereignty is a sure foundation for me
Your hope in me is enduring peace in me
Your care for me brings a sweet surrender to me

What else can I do but praise You?
Joining in the sounds of heaven’s song
‘Cuz all I really long for is You
All I really yearn for is You

Where else would I run but to You
Where else would I go God of life?
‘Cuz all I really long for is You
All I really yearn for is You
And all I really need Lord is You

Tab for Song :|: Music Coming Soon…

current mood: worshipful

Another 722/Steve Fee Song, Beauty of Heaven!

This is another Steve Fee written song, done in worship at 722

Beauty of Heaven by Steve Fee

Put praise upon my lips new each day
And lift my feet up from the pit out of the clay
And set me upon the rock of my salvation
Let the rhythm in my heart that beats in Yours
Give me a melody so sweet and pure
And let it serve as a call to all the nations

Put a new song in my heart
A hymn of praise to the Lord our God
Fill it with the beauty of heaven
Put a new song in my heart
A song to light up the dark
Fill it with the life from heaven
With the beauty of heaven
The beauty of heaven…

May the wonders of this world always inspire
Words that proclaim the truth and lift You higher and higher above Your creation
Open my ears to hear the beautiful sound that surrounds Your throne of heaven now
And I join my voice with the cries of exaltation
To You my king now

Let us join in the chorus, the chorus of the angels
The songs that they’re singing to You now x2

Let the earth resound, resound with heaven’s song x2

We sing “Alleluia, Alleluia”
We’re singing “Alleluia, Alleluia” x2

Put a new song in my heart
A hymn of praise to the Lord our God
Fill it with the beauty of heaven
Put a new song in my heart
A song to light up the dark
Fill it with the life from heaven
With the beauty of heaven
The beauty of heaven…

The Go Show

So a lot of people are going to “The Go Show” tommorrow. It’s a christian concert with Audio Adrenaline and Mercy Me head lining, as well as Kutless and the Swift are performing. (BTW: Kutless is my favorite alternative band right now, heh, they’re wicked cool, and in terms of Texans, they rock my face off (more on that below).

Anyways, just wanted to let any of the readers of my site know that if you’re planning on going to the concert tommorrow (or even if you’re not), they will be signing autographs and everything over at Berean after the concert (that’s why I heard the concert was pushed up to 6:30pm). We’ll be having all 4 bands there doing signings until about midnight (and I’m scheduled to work until 1am, wheee, eh?). Anyways, if you would like to come by, they should be there around 10-10:30pm tommorrow night, but expect a long line.
The address is
Berean Christian Stores
2481 Meridian Ave
San Jose, CA
95124

On a side note about that “rocks my face off” comment, it’s something that I’m using just to spite them Texans, lol. On the Stripey board, there’s a lot of Texans that used that expression (and they don’t know where it came from). Well I may have the answer of where it came from now! I was watching the Jars of Clay, the 11th Hour DVD a few days ago, and in one part they were just interviewing one of the guys (Charlie Lowell) backstage, and he used the expression “Rocks my face off.” hah, just thought that was interesting…
