Just a song...

There's a song that I love right now. Actually, I've loved it for several, several months now. I can't listen to it a lot - mainly because I cry EVERY SINGLE TIME that I hear it...and if you're in the car with me and it comes on, I'll change the station or flip it off of my ipod. That should probably tell me something. Maybe a 1, 2, punch from the Holy Spirit. But, I wanted to share it with y'all to listen to and think about. I'm so guilty, so I'm not going to act holier than thou. Honestly, I just said a cuss word - okay, two - about 10 minutes ago as I was painting on a canvas and jacked something up. And heck, I covet all the time. I'm fat Amy with my big postpartum self and I covet the bodies of the skinny people - and I covet other people's cars, and houses, and clothes. I am gluttonus - I buy all kind of crap that I don't need, like a hoarder, and eat dessert to excess. I say all the time "I hate (fill in the blank)". I said just this morning that I didn't like someone. That's probably gossip. Okay, yeah, the subsequent conversation seals it... yeah, it's gossip. I put stuff in front of God. Oooh, I feel like I might get struck just typing that - but, I don't read my Bible on the regular because I want to go to sleep as soon as my kids do - and I'm up at the crack of dawn already doing other things. Thankfully, I don't commit murder or adultery, or I'd be guilty of breaking all of the 10 Commandments. It just gets me thinking about how much God does for us currently and will do for us, and has done in the past and what we give Him in return. My best? Ha. Hardly. Maybe not even a quarter of my best. Pitiful, huh? Anyway, here is it summed up very nicely....lyrics followed by the song, if you're so inclined to listen. Hope it means something to you guys, too :)

You Love Me Anyway - by Sidewalk Prophets

The question was raised
As my conscience fell
A silly, little lie
It didn't mean much
But it lingers still
In the corners of my mind

Still you call me to walk
On the edge of this world
To spread my dreams and fly
But the future's so far
My heart is so frail
I think I'd rather stay inside

But You love me anyway
It's like nothing in life that I've ever known
Yes, You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me
How You love me

It took more than my strength
To simply be still
To seek but never find
All the reasons we change
The reasons I doubt
And why do loved ones have to die?

But You love me anyway

It's like nothing in life that I've ever known
Yes, You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me

I am the thorn in Your crown
But You love me anyway
I am the sweat from Your brow
But You love me anyway
I am the nail in Your wrist
But You love me anyway
I am Judas' kiss
But You love me anyway

See now, I am the man who yelled out from the crowd
For Your blood to be spilled on this earth shaking ground
Yes then, I turned away with this smile on my face
With this sin in my heart tried to bury Your grace
And then alone in the night, I still called out for You
So ashamed of my life, my life, my life

But You love me anyway
It's like nothing in life that I've ever known
Yes, You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me

You love me, yes You love me
How You love me
How You love me
How You love me

Thanks for livin' the life with me...and loving me, even though I said 2 cuss words this morning and said that I didn't like someone. I'm not proud, but I'm loved and forgiven...and so are you!
