I Will Do Anything for 'Laughs'

Taadaa .. here is the second super bodoh and hilarious 'literal' music video ...



Meat Loaf: Literal Video Version (Anything For Love) ... have a good laugh everyone :)

See the first vid I posted, which is #1 in my list: Total Eclipse On Humor

Total Eclipse on Humor!

Hubby showed me this some weeks back and I can't get over how hilarious it is. Read the lyrics and listen to the song properly :P



I still laugh to myself whenever I think about it... *giggle* WTF???

The Meatloaf one is just as good, I'll post that up another day.

Take My World Apart

These are the lyrics to "World's Apart" by Jars Of Clay … I've been listening to them on loop now, this is a really old album (release 1995) but one of their best albums without a doubt. This song echoes the cry of my heart now, more than ever. So as tribute to this Good Friday + Easter weekend; I dedicate my heart to You my God & King.

I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow it all adds up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
I flew too high and like Icarus I collide
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love,
To give and die

To turn away and not become
Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves
More deeply than the oceans,
More abundant than the tear
Of a world embracing every heartache

Can I be the one to sacrifice
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow

To love you - take my world apart
To need you - I am on my knees
To love you - take my world apart
To need you - broken on my knees

All said and done I stand alone
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
It takes all I am to believe
In the mercy that covers me
Did you really have to die for me?
All I am for all you are
Because what I need and what I believe are worlds apart

And I pray,
To love you - take my world apart
To need you - I am on my knees
To love you - take my world apart
To need you - broken on my knees

I look beyond the empty cross
Forgetting what my life has cost
And wipe away the crimson stains
And dull the nails that still remains
More and more I need you now,
I owe you more each passing hour
The battle between grace and pride
I gave up not so long ago
So steal my heart and take the pain
And wash the feet and cleanse my pride
Take the selfish, take the weak,
And all the things I cannot hide
Take the beauty, take my tears
The sin and soaked heart and make it yours
Take my world all apart
Take it now, take it now

And serve the ones that I despise
Speak the words I can't deny
Watch the world I used to love
Fall to dust and thrown away
I look beyond the empty cross
Forgetting what my life has cost
So wipe away the crimson stains
And dull the nails that still remain
So steal my heart and take the pain
Take the selfish, take the weak
And all the things I cannot hide
Take the beauty, take my tears
Take my world apart,
take my world apart
I pray, I pray, I pray
Take my world apart

Who Am I?

You know it's so strange sometimes when you're just driving around and you're totally bogged down by so many worries and what to do next ... we have a long "to do" list and a full calendar ... we think we're so in control and all is gonna be just great because we say so. And wham bamm God just shuts you up and makes you quiet and listen (cos we seldom give him the time of day to speak to us!) This happened to me in the car and this song was on ... and altho I've heard this song many times, it suddenly came alive to me. And I am humbled and reminded of my source, my ultimate source, without Whom I am nothing. It's so wonderful and fearful to be reminded that I am not my own.

Check out this song, it's brilliant . I love studying song lyrics. I am always enthralled by the beautiful way people string words together to convey exactly how they feel :)

Casting Crowns - Who Am I

(from the self-titled album Casting Crowns)

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You're

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours
