~~my new FAVORITE song~~

Oh my, I have heard it before but it just hit me today and I had to look up the singer online and just share the awesome lyrics to "my new FAVORITE song". The song is called Empty Me and is song by Chris Sligh. (oh he sings great too... being a writer sometimes the lyrics hit me more)

Empty Me

I’ve had just enough

Of the spotlight when it burns bright

To see how it gets in the blood

I’ve tasted my share

Of the sweet life and the wild ride

And found a little is not quite enough

I know how I can stray

And how fast my heart could change

Empty me of the selfishness inside

Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride

And any foolish thing my heart holds onto

Lord, empty me of me so I can be filled with you

I’ve seen just enough

Of the quick buys of the best lies

To know how prodigals can be drawn away

pre-chorus * chorus‘Cause everything is a lesser thing

Compared to you, compared to you‘

Cause everything is a lesser thing

Compared to you, so I surrender all

I especially like the words in blue... what powerful lyrics.. wish I had wrote them! But I am blessed never the less. I will attach his web site and am going to attempt to post a video of it. It's worth a listen..

What a way to pray each day...... LORD EMPTY ME OF ME SO I CAN BE FILLED WITH YOU.... Let it be so..

So excited to hear..

The Clark Brothers are going to be on American Idol in April.

I had posted a blog in the past regarding Denver and the Mile High Orchestra appearing on a Fox show "Greatest American Band". Denver made it to the finals but the Clark Brothers won. Sorry Denver but I was so rooting for these brothers.

Once while attending a tent meeting, I heard the clark brothers play and their father was the traveling evangelist. They were talented youngins' and my family and I have kept an eye out for them. They have played with many artists especially in the country music genre.

They were so good on this show and they were not afraid to show their faith. It was soooooo REFRESHING for a christian to have a positive face on tv. So often, they are portrayed terribly. In the beginning of the show, it seemed like it was going to be that way for these guys. I believe God worked the judges heart to see the talent behind their faith and they could not deny it. Whoo.hoo..

They are to appear on American Idols America gives back special. Make sure to give a listen..

add to my previous post

I have to say after denver sang the rest of the groups were not inspirational. Except the Clark Brothers were not bad. Hopefully denver will be able to sing some of their songs that mention Jesus. I know many christian groups that crossover tend to avoid mentioning the REASON why we Sing... Ok that's my sermon for the day...

Just a shout out to my friend Robin. I hope you find my blog and I can make you a fellow blogger!! Love ya!!

Denver and the mile high orchestra on FOX

Right now.. It's cool to have a christian group on a talent contest. I have to get off the net to vote sometime. They did not do anything to preachy but it was good. they actually started off the show. Take a look ya'll and vote!!

GO DENVER !!!!
