Some songs on my mind right now...

Yeah, this post is not really about what I have been learning or a topic I have been thinking. It's just going to be a short update about a couple worship songs in my mind right now.

"Happy Day" is a somewhat old song. I'm not talking about the Gospel song from Sister Act. I guess the one in my mind right now is from Tim Hughes. I remember how it used to be played a LOT in high school chapel my senior year of high school. I like it when it begins with

"the greatest day in history,
death is beaten,
you have rescued me..."

I'm sure anyone reading this might find this song kind of cheesy, but I like the basic feeling of where you should be happy because of what Jesus did on the cross for us.

Another song that I've been hearing a lot of and isn't really getting old for me is "How He Loves". Originally written by John Mark Mcmillan, many people have covered it. The versions that usually play in my head are David Crowder Band or Kim Walker from Jesus Culture. The first few lines are one of my favorite parts of the song.

"He is jealous for me,
loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy..."

It reminds me of how fragile we are compared to God. This is a song about, as the title of it says, how he loves us. "If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking" is another line I find powerful. Finally, there's the line "So Heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss". Some versions say "unforeseen kiss" instead. I don't see a reason for the change, but I like "sloppy wet kiss better". It feels more like he's a close father. Either way, it doesn't really matter how that line is done. It is still a powerful line in my opinion.

This seems like a filler post, but I just randomly felt like writing about this at 3AM. I should probably get some sleep. If I feel like it, I might edit this post later with more songs.

Until next time!
