Intro to Lyrics

     Recently, I have really gotten into poetry. I love the way you can convey exactly what you are feeling. This is one of the reasons that I love heavy metal music and rap. These artists have such a way with words so that you feel what they feel; usually rage or pain. This is evident in other genres of music but I am drawn to the emotions of Heavy Metal music. These next few blogs I will use some of my favorite songs. A couple of these are Heavy Metal or Rap to give you some examples and then I will use some lines from some of my favorite Hymns and other songs. Feel free to comment below and talk about some of your favorite lyrics that convey emotion and please edit them and keep them clean.

I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go, Dear Lord!

Perhaps today there are loving words

Which Jesus would have me speak;

There may be now in the paths of sin

Some wand’rer whom I should seek.

O Savior, if thou wilt be my guide,

Tho dark and rugged the way,

My voice shall echo the message sweet:

I’ll say what you want me to say.

 [Chorus]

I’ll go where you want me to go, dear Lord,

Over mountain or plain or sea;

I’ll say what you want me to say, dear Lord;

I’ll be what you want me to be.

This verse of a hymn hit me like a ton of bricks a couple of weeks ago. Earlier in the week I was wondering why I am here in Sidney. I loved Lander, I didn't ever want to leave. Well, I found my reason. I am here to help an amazing person in this area and teach her from my experiences. I can say that I am grateful for my trials. They have defined my testimony. They have shaped who I am. I am grateful for the opportunity I have to work with and serve the amazing people here in Sidney. We all have a place to be and someone's life to touch. The question is will we answer the call? I know I have and I will continue to do my best. I have found that it is hard sometimes to put our full trust in the Lord but i know he will bless us for it. Try it and see for yourself.
