So, I’ve been a bad girl. I still haven’t sent out my Christmas cards. And now I’m really procrastinating by writing in my blog, which I’ve been procrastinating about writing in for about 3 weeks. So, here I am. This is my song for the day, the week, and possibly longer.

Protest to Praise
by Downhere
album: downhere (2001)
I knew the times would come and now the times have landed
With stinging abrasion As ready as I seem to be
It’s never like I planned it, yeah

Pre-Chorus
I’m wrestling my thoughts I’m overcome
Would you give me up I’m asking Lord
There’s no where I sense Your presence here
So I will cry out, until I go

Chorus
From Protest to praise
You’re always amazing me
You’re changing me slow, but surely
And You’re gonna see me to the end

How long will I be forgotten by You forever
You’re not making sense here
Seems like eternity has made a home between us, yeah

Pre-Chorus/Chorus (2X)

You’re changing me slow
I just can’t help but see it that way
Cuz You’re gonna see me to the end

Yeah, and I’m still not writing my cards. Goodnight all.

Grace and peace.

Wow. I don’t even know if there are words that can describe what I was feeling while I watched the movie last night. All I know is that I was crying from the beginning and almost balling by the end. It was so stinkin’ amazing. It was exactly as I pictured it as I’ve read it. I felt like a little kid! As I got in the car to head home, I thought, “What can I listen to that could possibly follow that?” Then it hit me- “The Far Country”. I cranked up the music, rolled down the windows, opened the sunroof and drove home. I didn’t care that it was 2:30 in the morning. I felt amazing.

Ok, now I really do need to get stuff done so that I can leave for Nashville after work tomorrow.

Go under the mercy!
