Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

Nights In White Satin
The Moody Blues
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I’ve written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I’d always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can’t say anymore
‘Cause I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how
I love you
Gazing at people
Some hand in hand
Just what I’m going through
They can’t understand
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end
And I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how
I love you
Oh how
I love you
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I’ve written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I’d always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can’t say anymore
‘Cause I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how
I love you
Oh how
I love you
‘Cause I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how
I love you
Oh how
I love you
Breathe deep in the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another days useless energy’s spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white
And we decide which is right
And which is an illusion

I Know You’re Out There Somewhere
The Moody Blues
I know you’re out there somewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere
I know I’ll find somehow
And somehow
I’ll return again to you
The mist is lifting slowly
I can see the way ahead
And I’ve left behind the empty streets
That once inspired my life
And the strength of the emotion
Is like thunder in the air
‘Cause the promise that we made each other
Haunts me to the end
I know you’re out there somewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere
I know you’re out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I’ll find you somehow
Somehow
Somehow
I know I’ll find you somehow
And somehow
I’ll return again to you
The secret of your beauty
And the mystery of your soul
I’ve been searching for in everyone I meet
And the times I’ve been mistaken
It’s impossible to say
And the grass is growing underneath our feet
I know you’re out there somewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere
I know you’re out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I’ll find you somehow
Somehow
Somehow
I know I’ll find you somehow
And somehow
I’ll return again to you
Yes I know it’s going to happen
I know it’s going to happen
I can feel you getting near
I can feel you getting near
And soon we’ll be returning to
The fountain of our youth
And if you wake up wondering
If you wake up wondering
In the darkness I’ll be there
You know I’ll be there
My arms will close around you
And protect you with the truth
I know you’re out there somewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere
I know you’re out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I’ll find you somehow
Somehow
Somehow
I know I’ll find you somehow
And somehow
I’ll return again to you

Nights In White Satin is one of my favorite song in my ipod and I listen to this song when I need to space out of things that I'm going through.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this fearlessly making this link between so-called "sacred" and "secular." Being an avid aficianado of virtually all types of music, I often grow weary of the pigeon-holes we create to artificially categorize music. Well done!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear SunnyToast!!! It is certainly a song that one can easily get lost in.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Boromax!!! Be assured that I greatly appreciate the encouragement! I am also a fan of many different types of music--from bluegrass to the blues, hard rock to Bach.
ReplyDeleteThe Moody Blues are one of Wade's all times favorites. I hear him complain all the time about how they have never been inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame and how that's just not right. I may have to agree with him on that though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! Whoa, I didn't know that. Their day will surely come, but it should have already happened.
ReplyDeleteNights in White Satin was a favorite growing up in my house, my Mom later played it when she thought of my father after he passed away, bittersweet memories for me, thanks for sharing the Moody Blues, I love them!
ReplyDeleteTake Care,
Janet :)
Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Janet!!! Despite the spooky feeling that the last part always gives me, "Nights In White Satin" is one of my all-time favorite songs. It had been a while since I last heard it, and it struck all over again just how beautiful it is.
ReplyDeleteI just put these songs on my sisters new phone. I especially love Nights in White Satin. we play it on BadGalsRadio.com often.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear BadGal!!! You really do have good taste!
