Hold Me Like Holy Water

Today the local Christian station was playing some pretty sweet music. And I heard a song by Matthew West that I absolutely love and haven't heard or thought of in a while. It was neat hearing it again, almost as if for the first time. Lyrics as follows:

"More" by Matthew West
Take a look at the mountain
Stretching a mile high
Take a look at the ocean
Far as your eye can see
And think of me

Take a look at the desert
Do you feel like a grain of sand?
I am with you wherever
Where you go is where I am
And I'm always thinking of you
Take a look around you
I'm spelling it out one by one

I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine and you shine for me too
I love you
Yesterday
And today
And tomorrow
I'll say it again and again
I love you more

Just a face in the city
Just a tear on a crowded street
But you are one in a million
And you belong to me
And I want you to know
I'm not letting go
Even when you come undone

Chorus

Shine for me
Shine for me
Shine on, shine on
Shine for me

Chorus


Ah, I love that song! It's so perfect! It's a great song because you can totally relate to it no matter how you're feeling. It's a great happy song, it's a great sad song, it's just a great song.

And by the way, my mom and I are looking to buy tickets to see Wicked in Chicago (finally), and I'm getting excited! Woot! I love Chicago, and I've been wanting to see Wicked for a while.

"I'm through accepting limits/Cause someone says they're so/Some things I cannot change/But til I try I'll never know!" (from "Defying Gravity")

Hoo ha!

Oh, and this day wouldn't be complete without a bit of this:
"Tantum ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui
Praestet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui
Genitori genitoque
Laus et jubilatio
Salus, honor, virtus, quoque
Sit et benedictio
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio.
Amen."

Happy Corpus Christi, y'all!


Okay, time for shenangians elsewhere.
