Lifehouse's Life's Everything

I was surfing some of the sites on Blogspot. The link that is attached to the title above will take you to an interesting video on YouTube. I found it very engaging and fascinating. You?

I think it is another example of the power of drama, music and the arts in general as spiritual growth media.

Here are the lyrics....

Everything lyrics

find me here, speak to me
i want to feel you, i need to hear you
you are the light, that is leading me
to the place where i find peace again
you are the strength that keeps me walking
you are the hope that keeps me trusting
you are the life to my soul you are my purpose
you are everything

and how can i stand here with you and not be moved by you
would you tell me how could it be any better than this
you calm the storms, you give me rest, you hold me in your hands
you won't let me fall
you still my heart and you take my breath away
would you take me in
would you take me deeper now
'cause you're all i want you are all i need
you are everything
everything

Music

Some of the feedback I have received regards music at our church not really being relevant to youth. It isn't current, it is played traditionally, and the hymns are perceived as "archaic." I am trying to incorporate some more current music into my aspect of the worship service. My problem is that I am no longer as current with music as I once was. I have found certain types of music speak to me and my growing spirituality more than others. One of my favourites (Into the Mystic written by Van Morrison and recently covered by Colin James) is becoming a part of this Sunday's worship service. It certainly is different from what is normally a part of the worship service, but I also realize that it is "my music" not what youth would see as "current."

So what is out there that you find relevant? I am looking for anything that feeds you, that gives you that sense of being a part of it. What is the music that infiltrates your cells? That is what I find spiritually nurturing. Music that enters my body and becomes part of me while I hear it or perform it. Music that I seem to enter and become part of at the same time.

I'd love to share some of that!
