WhiteHeart Wednesday


 



A Love Calling
WhiteHeart
Like the dawn breakin’
The Light came shinin’ through
And a heart broken
Is now a heart given to You
But still there’s somethin’ deeper
Somethin’ more than gratitude
And it’s
Sayin’
Sayin’
Sayin’
There’s so much more that we can do

We’ve got a Love callin’
A Love callin’
Oh we’ve got a Love callin’
‘Cause we hear Love callin’

Ah there’s a new wind blowin’
Since we’ve been given this call
When Your Spirit’s leadin’
Oh it doesn’t feel like a burden at all
There are still lands locked in darkness
There are hearts like an empty room
And we’ll never know how to help them
Until Father we listen to You

We’ve got a Love callin’
A Love callin’
Oh we got a Love callin’
‘Cause we hear Love callin’

Like the rustle of an autumn breeze
I can hear You whisper inside of me
And I know
In my heart of hearts I do believe
Now I’m thankin’ You for givin’ me

A Love callin’
Oh a Love callin’
Oh we’ve got a Love callin’
‘Cause we hear Love callin’
Callin’ for a new vision
Oh a heart mission
Oh and it’s drawin’
It’s drawin’ us
‘Cause we hear Love callin’

A love callin’

Do you hear His love callin’
Do you give yourself away

Oh do you feel He’s drawin’ you nearer

Do you feel Him drawin’ near you

TFT: Billy Joel


 Link: [Billy Joel]

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.


Piano Man
Billy Joel
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sittin’ next to me
Makin’ love to his tonic and gin
He says
Son can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet
And I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes

Lah lah lah
Diddy lah lah
Lah lah
Diddy lah
Di lah

Sing us a song
You're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin’ all-right

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke
Or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says
Bill I believe this is killin’ me
As a smile ran away from his face
Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place

Oh lah lah
Diddy lah lah
Lah lah
Diddy lah
Di lah

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talking with Davy
Who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicin’ politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharin’ a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin’ alone

Sing us a song
You're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling all-right

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me
They've been comin’ to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar
And put bread in my jar
And say
Man what are you doing here

Oh lah lah
Diddy lah lah
Lah lah
Diddy lah
Di lah

Sing us a song
You're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling all-right

Come Monday...COWBOYS SUCK!!!


“Come Monday…” is a weekly series that will involve a review of, or commentary about,  websites, movies, documentaries, television shows, sports, music, and whatever else may tickle my fancy at the time.  Be assured that these reviews will be generally positive, as in accordance to the Jimmy Buffett song “Come Monday.”  This is subject to change, however.  In fact, I would be most derelict in my duties to neglect going on a rant every once in a while.  For rants promote change, and change can be good—right?  Therefore, since good is generally considered as being a positive force in 99.3% of the parallel universes that I am aware of, even a rant could be considered as being something positive, and a genuine hissy-fit would be even better (so I’m told).

Just in case you cannot tell from the image, I am referring to my beloved [Dallas Cowboys]—not cowboys in general.  For not only did they fail to make the NFL playoffs again, they managed to do so by getting humiliated by the hated (so to speak) [New York Football Giants] on [Sunday Night Football], 31-14.

No, that is not quite right.  For most of the players on the current Cowboys roster don’t have enough sense to be humiliated—starting with [Rob Ryan], the defensive coordinator.

Oh yeah, this was another season where expectations were sky-high.  For with the addition of Rob Ryan to the staff, the Cowboys defense would surely rival the offense as being the real reason for another glorious [Super Bowl] victory.

Do you not find it curious that after [Jerry Jones] fired [Wade Phillips] as the head coach of the Cowboys around the middle of last season, he became the defensive coordinator of the [Houston Texans], and the Texans ended the regular season with the [second highest rated defense] in the entire league?  I do.

Hey, wasn’t the Cowboys’ Ryan supposed to be a defensive genius?  Quite obviously, he really can “talk” as good of a game as his [brother] and [father], despite being the quiet one of the three.

Alas, I suppose I should be grateful.  For the agony has ended much sooner than later, and I can now honestly cheer for the [Green Bay Packers] to repeat as Super Bowl champions.

Talk about a class act.  They are, with a great sense-of-humor, as well.

A Sunday Drive


 Back during my childhood, our parents would often load up my brother and me after Sunday morning church services for a leisurely drive around where we lived.  Even though we were seeing mostly familiar sights, it was still good to see them, and this is why “A Sunday Drive” sounded about right for the name of a weekly series revisiting familiar sites that are well worth seeing again and again.  The link below the image is to the site itself, and the image is linked to the post it was first included in here.
