Well, I'm back in the mood for Christian music. Wonder if that has anything to do with getting back to Bible study after three weeks of missing it? Maybe I just overdosed on it. That can happen. I love Bachman-Turner Overdrive so much that I play it and play it and play it ... then I get tired of it.
Three in One - Our Songs of the Day!
But driving home from work today I had a Christian mix CD in the car stereo and I flipped through all the tracks until I came across "Help Me Out God" by Superchick. Sometimes I think this is my personal anthem. Sure it's a catchy tune, well orchestrated, and has fine vocals, but it's the message that sticks -- I can't swim without you God. Help me out God, I need a little something ... Who would have thought that something so deep would be in a Pop song? Superchick, apparently. And they pull it off rather well.
"I Belong to You," also by Superchick, takes much the same message, mixes in a load of commitment, and tones down the Pop flavor into a mostly acoustical piece that is very touching. The central theme in Corinthians -- Love -- is the essential element. Some say that one bad turn chasing another is a vicious circle. But love of God begets love for self which in turn begets a love of God ... and a Victorious Circle forms. "I Belong" takes what is in my heart and puts it into music that was inspired by God's love.
And Superchick's "We All Fall" is the ultimate praise and worship song as far as I am concerned. A simple yet passionate piano, a soft yet caring voice, and heartfelt sentiments we all share blend into an emotionally deep song that invigorates despite a veneer of melancholy. No combination of the over 200.000 words in the English language and the smattering that I know from other tongues can ever convey what this song does for me.
Peace & Prayers
