Music to the soul

There have been so many songs, and lyrics that have really changed my life. In the past few years my life has been so much better because of the influence of music. It helps sooth the soul, and changes the way I feel about things going on in my life. I thank God that He uses music as one of the main ways to speak into my life. I was just going through my iTunes listening to some of the great music that helped my along in my journey so far. I got the idea to post some amazing lyrics that have been part of my life. Maybe they can help you as well!

• “Between what we want and what we really need”.
Gratitude (Nichole Nordeman)
This has really been something to think about! Sometimes what we want is not good for us, or God says to wait! Its hard but in the end God plan is always better, and he knows what we really need.

• “I’ll tell you I love you and I’ll honor you somehow, hear my promise to you in this New Years vow.”
Vow (Kutless)

• “Everything will change but, love remains the same”.
Love Remains the Same (Gavin Rossdale)
This is just something that is good to always be reminded of, the fact that love never changes!

• “If you realize what I just realized”
Realize (Colbie Caillat)
Why is it we realize everything just a little too late!

• “Let it roll right off your shoulder, don’t you know the hardest part is over! Let it in, let your clarity define you in the end”
Little Wonders (Rob Thomas)
Keep on going it’s almost over!

• “I’m like a bird, I will fly away. I don’t know where my soul is, I don’t know where my home is.”
I’m Like a Bird (Nelly Furtado)
Sometimes we can all feel a little out of place!

• “You would rather die, then leave us in the dark”
You where there (Avalon)
This part of the song always makes me tear up! It’s so true that Father God sacrificed everything to give us hope!

• “And suddenly I become a part of your past. I’m becoming a part that don’t last, I’m losing you and it’s effortless. Without a sound we lose sight of the ground, in the throw around. Never thought that you wanted to bring it down. I won’t let it go down till we torch it ourselves.”
Over My Head (The Fray)

• I want to see miracles, see the world changed. Wrestled the angel, for more than a name, for more than a feeling, for more than a cause. I’m singing spirit take me up in arms with you. And you’re raising the dead in me. Twenty four voices, with twenty four hearts. With all of my symphonies in twenty four parts. I’m not copping out!
24 Hours Ago (Switchfoot)
This song is just amazing! I makes me want to get out there and do something!

• Cause I’m not your princess, this ain’t a fairytale. I’m gonna find someone someday, who might actually treat me well. This is a big world that was a small town, there in my rearview mirror disappearing now.
White Horse (Taylor Swift)
Sometimes it time to move on! God’s plans are bigger!

• I need a lullaby, a kiss goodnight. Angel sweet love of my life O, I need this.
My Skin (Natalie Merchant)

• Is there love that never dies, is there peace in troubled times? Someone help me understand. Is there hope for every man?
Every Man (Casting Crowns)
The answer is that there is always HOPE!

• Now the story’s played out like this, just like a paperback novel. Let’s re-write and ending that fits, instead of a Hollywood Horror.
Someday (Nickelback)

• I should have known better, but I didn’t and I can’t go back! Life goes on!
Life Goes On (Lee Ann Rhimes)

• Will give thanks to you with gratitude for lessons learned in how to trust in you, that we are blessed beyond what we could ever dream. In abundance or in need, and if you never grant us peace, Jesus would you please.
Gratitude (Nichole Nordeman)
We must never forget to thank our Father for all He has given to us!

• I’ve lived in this place, and I know all the faces. Each one is different but they’re always the same. They mean me no harm, but it’s time that I faced it. They’ll never allow me to change. But I never dreamed home would end up where I don’t belong. I’m moving on.
I’m moving On (Rascal Flatts)
Isn’t this the truth?

• I’m on the shore now, of the wildest river, and I kneel and beg for mercy from the sky. But no one answers, I’ve gotta take my chances ‘cause something deep inside me’s crying “this is why you are alive!”

Thirsty (Chris Rice)
This is a really old song, but it speaks to me! You have just got to jump in and do something, because this is why we are alive

• It’s beginning to get to me
(Snow Patrol)

• We want more than this world’s got to offer. We want more then the wars of our fathers, and everything inside screams for second life.
Meant to Live (Switchfoot)
I want more!

• And it’s alright, yeah I’ll be fine. Don’t worry ‘bout this heart of mine. Just take you love and hit the road. There’s nothing you can do or say, you’re gonna break my heart anyway. So just leave the pieces when you go.
Leave the Pieces (The Wreckers)

• We will find two destinations!
Chances (Five for Fighting)

• When everything inside me, looks like everything you hate.
You’re On Fire (Switchfoot)
You still love me!

• Time together isn’t ever quite enough. When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home. What will it take to make or break this hint of love? We need time, only time.
Saltwater Room (Owl City)

• If I ever needed you Lord, it’s now!
(Casting Crowns)

• Chances are when said and done. Who’ll be the lucky ones, who make it all the way? Though you say I could be your answer, nothing lasts forever no matter how it feels today.
Chances (Five for Fighting)

• Is there a better bet than love? What you are is what you breathe. You gotta cry before you sing.
Chances (Five for Fighting)
You got to go through some pain to find what is meant for you!

• Love, such a silly game we play.
Love (Matt White)

• We need each other to have and to hold.
(Phil Collins)
We are all each other have!

• So this is how it ends. This is where it all goes down. This is what I don’t love you feels like.
Red Light (David Nail)

• Other waters I’ve been drinkin’ but they always leave me empty like before. Satisfaction, all I’m askin’ could I really feel this thirsty if there weren’t something more?
Thirsty (Chris Rice)

• The current is strong, my arms are weak. But you are the branch within my reach. In this sea of change, understanding was swept away.
Sleeping at Last (Currents)

• I’ve never been to half of the places, but your postcard collection makes me crave. A little space, a little ways out of the city to the grace of another land, another tongue, another time.
Letter in my Pocket (Bethany Joy Lenz)

• And you said I know that this will hurt. But if I don’t break your heart, then things will just get worse. If the burden seems too much to bear, remember the end will justify the pain I took to get us there
Let it all out (Relient K)
Once again God’s plans are bigger

• When the oceans rise and thunders roar, I will soar with you above the storm. Father you are king over the flood I will be still and know you are God.
Still (Hillsong)

• What do say to taking chances?
Taking Chances (Celine Dion)

• I watched from a distance as you made life your own…every sky was your own kind of blue…and I wanted to know how that would feel, and you made it so real…you showed me something that I couldn’t see. You opened my eyes and you made me believe.
Crazier (Taylor Swift)

• Can I believe you hold an exclamation point, for every question mark?

• When I heart breaks, no it don’t breakeven
Breakeven (The Script)

• And in this crazy life and through these crazy times it’s you, it’s you, you make me sing. You’re every line; you’re every work, your everything.
Everything (Michael Buble)

• Learning to breathe, I’m learning to craw, I’m finding that you and you alone can break my fall. I’m living again awake and alive; I’m dying to breathe in these abundant skies.
Learning to Breathe (switchfoot)

• So I would understand if you were out of patience. And I would understand if I were out of chances. But you mercies are new every morning. So let me wake with the dawn, and when the music is through, or so it seems to be. Let me sing a new song.
Mercies New (Nichole Nordeman)

• I feel bad, that I don’t feel Bad
I feel Bad (Rascal Flatts)

The Special two (Missy Higgins)


• Clouds of sulfur in the air, bombs exploding everywhere its heartbreak warfare. Once you want to begin no one ever really wins, its heartbreak warfare. If you want more love why don’t you say so?
