Ah, 2 hour delays.

Two hour delay tomorrow! Good stuff. I wish all days could be two hour delays. It is the perfect amount of sleep.

I don't really have much to write about today. I almost got slid off the road today by a big trucker who decided it was o.k. to fly past my little car going up hill in the snow. My last Christmas concert was tonight too. Boo. :( I want to keep singing those songs. That's one thing about choir; I hate learning new music. It's so tedious.

Well, because of lack of things to say, I am going to share with you some great lyrics from Dave Matthews. I forgot about this song until it came on my Ipod on my way home from school. The song is from their newest album. It's called Time Bomb.

I'm a ticking time bomb
Waiting to blow my top
No one would ever know
Not until I blew up

No one would believe it
He was such a normal guy
Shake their heads and wonder why

Martians fell from the sky
What would that do to God?
Would we put the weapons down
Or aim it up at the sky

No one would believe it
Except the f------ nut jobs
They laugh and cry we told you so

Baby when I get home
I want to believe in Jesus
Hammer in the final nail
Help me pick up the pieces

When everything starts to fall
So fast that it terrifies you
When will you hit the wall?
Are you gonna learn to fly?

No one would believe it
Except for all the people
Watching as you fly away

Baby when I get home
I want to pick up the pieces
Hammer in the final nail
And lean me up against Jesus

Baby when I get home
I want to pick up the pieces
Hammer in the final nail
I want to believe in Jesus

I bolded and colored my favorite part. It just puts such a wonderful picture in my head.

I also fell in love with Flyleaf's new EP. This song is called Light Your Eyes. The melody is absolutely beautiful. Definitely go take a listen. Very little people actually realize Flyleaf is a Christian rock band because of how heavy their music usually is. This new album, however, is incredibly soft and beautiful.

Pour the wine
Light revives
Lowering walls that divide
Kings and Queens yearn to seek
Love in all its mystery

When all we wanted was love,
We got cut up and burned
But there's a light in your eyes
And it tells me
That God is on our side

The waning moon
Your sweet perfume
Incense for the Holy Ones
Secret hymns pour from your lips
Healing for this broken soul

We'd drive late
And let the music tell our fate
For me this is heaven
Drown our fears
And we may age
If we do not die today
Until then we'll let
This music be our prayers

When all we wanted was love,
We got cut up and burned
But there's a light in your eyes
And it tells me
That God is on our side

And all we need now is love
We've been through enough
We can't run just 'cause we're scared
We've come this far
We're not giving up
All we need now is love
We've been through enough
We can't run just 'cause we're scared
We've come this far
We're not giving up

  1. Hurray for the two hour delays!! I gave myself a little break this morning and slept in some. I probably could've slept all day except Tobbie needed to go outside. DANG! Anyways, I love the lyrics---such great words that are put together so well!! I am so jealous of that gift!
