And life just keeps on rollin…

Recovering…

So last week I was down with the flu.  The flu is not a fun thing to have.  It completely drains you of all your energy and leaves you feeling helpless.  I had to miss 2 days of work because of it.  I normally don’t ever stop working, but not last week.  I did however manage to make it to work by Wednesday when I felt I wasn’t contagious.  It also might have had something to do with Miss Texas 2007 being on campus.  Maybe just a little.  Actually, I was getting tired of…myself.  I spent those first 3 days curled up on the couch coughing and watching tv.  I was bored within the first 10 minutes.  Over a week has passed and while I’m mostly well, I’m still dealing with this lingering cough which is quite annoying.

I was surfing around the other day, before I was sick, and I came across a new song.  Actually, it was pointed out to me by a friend.  None the less, I stumbled upon and I want to share the lyrics with you.  I think a lot of people can identify with what this song is saying.  It’s written by a friend of mines friend named Josh Martin.

Impress You by Josh Martin

 

She calls out to me

But I’m not listening

She offers nothing

Yet it’s so tempting 

See I’ve been down that road

Leaves me broken and alone

Yet I seem to find myself there again

 
And why do I

Do I what I despise and perform all the lies

That I suspect will impress you

 
He’s sees through us you know

And all our secrets are exposed

And it’s amazing that he still chose

To die for sins such as you and I

 
And why do I

Do I what I despise and perform all the lies

That I suspect will impress you

 
You’re impressed with your Son

Yes he’s the only one that brings us hope

And peace, and joy

And goodness and faithfulness

And kindness and gentleness

Holiness and righteousness and love…

Sweet love

 
How can we, hear your voice

If all we listen to is the culture

 
So why do I

Do I what I despise and perform all the lies

That I suspect will impress you

 

For me, it’s a simple question.  Why do I do the things that I despise?  Why do I think that I need to impress God?  Take a listen to it on Josh’s myspace.  It’s a really cool song.  Take a listen and tell me what you think.
