Journey Day 219

Yesterday I had lunch with my dear friend Brittney. She was on my hall my freshmen year and although we've kept in contact, last night was the first time in a while that we actually got to spend some time together! She is so great! She is bubbly and fun, but the coolest part is that it is obvious how much she has grown since I first met her! I loved the old Brittney, but I love the new Brittney even more! I'm so proud of her, and of all she is allowing God to do in her heart! It was such an encouraging dinner! Also after the concert Sunday, I downloaded a bunch of Jimmy Needhams songs! HE IS SO GOOD! On his new CD, a lot of the songs are soulful and overflowing with humility! You should check him out! : )

The Reason I Sing--Jimmy Needham

Yours To Take by Jimmy Needham
This is my second chance, this is no song and dance
You came in and renewed a right spirit
This is grace at it's best
This is taking a restless, messed up heart and having you clear it

I can feel the weight is lifting
I am barely staying on the ground
And I can feel the wait is over
Finally the lost is found

So, this is what it feels like to live life
So, this is breathing air for the very first time
The son of man, he came here to give life
And in return, he's asking for mine

I've been captured by grace
I'm not going away
I'm yours to take

I was down for the count
I was up, but knocked out when I heard, "Pardon for the interuption"
Then like out of the blue, out came glorious you
You picked me up without barely any introduction

You won my heart by a landslide
You tend to do that everytime
So, everything I have is yours now
Even my very life

So, this is what it's like to live life
So, this is breathing air for the very first time
The son of man, he came here to give life
And in return he's asking for mine

Well I've been captured by grace
I'm not going away
I'm yours to take

Your kindness leads me to repentence
Leads me to the cross
Which leads me to forgiveness
So, I'm counting it all as lost

So, this is what it's like to live life

So, this is breathing air for the very first time
The son of man, he came here to give life
And in return he's asking for mine

So, this is what it's like to live life

So, this is breathing air for the very first time
The son of man, he came here to give life
And in return he's asking for mine

I've been captured by grace
I'm not going away
I'm yours to take
