Love, lift me out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you
This is from the U2 song Elevation. I can see the entire song as a prayer, but my favorite bit is this. I love the whole 'song as prayer' thing. Well it works for me anyhow. I love the 'hidden' prayers in things. They seem to be everywhere sometimes. Like Kenny's street sign not so long ago. (See recovery road blog to see the street sign thing)
Anyway just thought I'd share that. So many songs are full of wonderful prayers.
Ya it is kinda like our blogging. I am sure we have produced some wonderful lyrics for a tune, now all we need is a band and singer. Hmmm, U2 will do.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what we see when our eyes and ears are really open. Hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving weekend. :)
That's a great way of looking (listening?) at music. Like it a lot. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMusic is important to my recovery.
Wonderful
ReplyDeleteYes, sometimes when I turn on the radio, and it is in the middle of a love song.....I think they are singing about God, until I hear the complete song :)
ReplyDeleteReminds me of this quote by Bono:
ReplyDelete"The music that really turns me on is either running toward God or away from God. Both recognize the pivot, that God is at the center of the jaunt."
~Bono
I love it when we are aware of the prayers with in songs, or the message with in signs, posts, others sharing ect...
ReplyDeletehope you have a great MOnday
I'm a total U2 fan for that very reason.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday just coming by to say HI :)
