i seem to go through music phases.  for some reason, i get stuck on one artist, one cd, one song, for weeks at a time.  it's the strangest thing.  but it seems like through music is where God pounds His lessons into my head.  i guess He realizes it's not going to get in there any other way.  in my car is where i have the best Jesus time.  lately, i've been trying to wrap my mind around God's true character, not just what i make Him out to be.  

here's my song of the week...

What is Not Love
Derek Webb

What looks like failure is success
And what looks like poverty is riches
When what is true looks more like a knife
It looks like you're killing me
But you're saving my life

But I give myself to what looks like love
And I sell myself for what feels like love
And I pay to get what is not love
And all just because I see things upside down

What looks like weakness can do anything
And what looks like foolishness is understanding
When what is powerful has not come to fight
It looks like you're going to war
But you lay down your life
What looks like torture is a time to rejoice
What sounds like thunder is a comforting voice

When what is beautiful looks broken and crushed
And I say I don't know you
But you say it's finished

When what is beautiful looks broken and crushed
And I say I don't know you
But you say it's finished
