see, i was unaware when i volunteered for my post this summer quite how busy i would be. i haven't really had time to get a job, so my bank account has suffered. but it has been worth it. for the last couple of months i've gotten to act as the youth director at our church. i never fully appreciated how much work and stress there is involved with that job.
we went to camp last week. it was so much fun. and totally worth all the effort leading up to it. (i have a newfound respect for this position...) i think the kids learned a lot, and i know i did. at any rate, we sang several songs with really good messages, some of them i'd heard before and a couple i hadn't. (incidentally, the kids' favorite part about camp was also the music. our church is really traditional, so they had a lot of fun with a new, rock-worship style music.) anyway, the first set of lyrics are to a song i hadn't heard before, but really like the message of, and the second set are the lyrics to the song we sang every night and i have a video for. i'll try and get the video up here later...
true love died:
come close listen to the story
about a love more faithful than the morning
the Father gave his only Son just to save us
the earth was shaking in the dark
all creation felt the Father's broken heart
tears were filling heaven's eyes
the day that true love died,
the day that true love died
when blood and water hit the ground
walls we couldn't move came crashing down
we were free and made alive
the day that true love died,
the day that true love died
search your heart you know you can't deny it
come on, lose your life just so you can find it
the Father gave his only son just to save us
the earth was shaking in the dark
all creation felt the Father's broken heart
tears were filling heaven's eyes
the day that true love died,
the day that true love died
when blood and water hit the ground
walls we couldn't move came crashing down
we were free and made alive
the day that true love died,
the day that true love died
now, Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
oh, He is alive
He rose again
when blood and water hit the ground
walls we couldn't move came crashing down
we were free and made alive
the day that true love died,
the day that true love died
come close listen to the story...
glory of it all:
at the start
He was there, He was there
in the end,
He’ll be there, He’ll be there
and after all our hands have wrought
He forgives
oh the glory of it all is:
He came here
for the rescue of us all
that we may live
for the glory of it all
for the glory of it all
all is lost
find Him there, find Him there
after night
dawn is there, dawn is there
after all falls apart
He repairs, He repairs
oh the glory of it all is:
He came here
for the rescue of us all
that we may live
for the glory of it all
is He came here
for redemption from the fall
that we may live
for the glory of it all
oh the glory of it all
the glory of it all
oh the glory of it all
after night
comes the light
dawn is here
dawn is here
it’s a new day
it’s a new day
everything will change
things will never be the same
we will never be the same
we will never be the same
we will never be the same
we will never be the same
oh the glory of it all is:
He came here
for the rescue of us all
that we may live
for the glory of it all
oh you are here
with redemption for us all
that we may live
for the glory of it all
for the glory of it all
oh the glory of it all
oh the glory of it all
everything will change
things will never be the same
we will never be the same
we will never be the same
we will never be the same
we will never be the same
we will never be the same
we will never be the same...
