You're not just a wondering soul
For week's I've tried to write about how music has made a difference in my life. I work at a radio and hear all kinds of stories of how songs played on the air came on at just the right moment or reminded someone of the truth they desperately needed to hear. In all of my efforts to try to explain how and why music changes people I started to wonder if it meant anything personal to me. Has a song spoke to me right when I needed it to? Has God shown up in the midst of a rift or solo? My answer is doesn't come with profound and elegant words, it's simple yes. Yes, there have been songs over the years that have struck through the dark hours of my life and brought great joy to my heart. There have been others that have reminded me of the simple love, grace, and mercy of our Lord and there have been some that brought tears to my eyes as my soul cried out to relate to the lyrics.
I'd like to share a song that just this moment caught my attention.
MIKESCHAIR came to our offices at WAY-FM about a year ago and performed for us. It was awesome to see these "normal" guys play songs that talk about the realities of life. They don't shy away from the hurt and the pain that life brings and they have a deep understanding of the depth of our need for a savior that answers all of life's questions.
So I ask that you take a few moments to listen to this song, read along to the lyrics, and believe in the great love of our God. You're someone worth dying!
You might be the wife,
Waiting up at night
You might be the man,
Struggling to provide
Feeling like it's hopeless
Maybe you're the son,
Who chose a broken road
Maybe you're the girl,
Thinking you'll end up alone
Praying God can you hear me?
Oh God are you listening?
(Chorus)
Am I more than flesh and bone?
Am I really something beautiful?
Yeah, I wanna believe, I wanna believe that
I'm not just some wandering soul
That you don't see and you don't know
Yeah I wanna believe, Jesus help me believe that I
Am someone worth dying for
I know you've heard the truth that God has set you free
But you think you're the one that grace could never reach

So you just keep asking, what everybody's asking
Chorus
You're worth it, you can't earn it
Yeah the Cross has proven
That you're sacred and blameless
Your life has purpose
You are more than flesh and bone
Can't you see you're something beautiful
Yeah you gotta believe, you gotta believe
He wants you to see, He wants you to see
That you're not just some wandering soul
That can't be seen and can't be known
Yeah you gotta believe, you gotta believe that you
Are someone worth dying for
You're someone worth dying for
You're someone worth dying for
