Can't get it out of my head...


Once in a while, I just can't stop singing one song.  Over and over, until everyone around me is like, "Min, seriously??"  

OK, so if I'm being honest, most of the time some song dances through my mind like background music...and sometimes, one in particular, for a long period of time.  Like...a really long period.  Like all week.  This week in particular, this Jimmy Needham song has consumed me.  I'm actually a little tired of it because since I don't actually know all of the lyrics, it's been just the chorus.  Well, now it will be the whole thing (thank you, google).

If you don't know "Dearly Loved," google it.  I'm sure it's on youtube.  But here are the lyrics I can't stop singing...not because you need to read them, necessarily, but because, hey, this is my blog. Someday my kids will read this and say, "Yep. I remember that week. How annoying." :)

Please lay down your arrows 
'cause they're sure to pierce the skin 
And water from a broken well 
Will make you thirst again 
When all things you've acquired 
Are tested by the flames 
And you can see them melting 
Then will you call his name? 

And it's worth it brothers 
And it's worth it friends 
To know your maker 
To lose your sin 
Did you know that you are dearly loved? 

To the slaughters you are being led 
Being told that it's a party 
That this God is in your head 
And every single lie 
Sounds just like the greatest truth 
But the one truth you're not hearing 
Is that he died for you 

And it's worth it brothers 
And it's worth it friends 
To know your maker 
To lose your sin 
Did you know that you are dearly loved?

No greater joy 
No greater peace 
No greater love than this

And it's worth it brothers 
And it's worth it friends 
To know your maker 
To lose your sin 
Did you know that you are dearly loved?
