Everything/Hosanna

How can you not fall in love with this man? He has such an adorable smile. Of course the reactions have been mixed. Karen says that there is something sinister about him as if he is a hidden alcoholic or wife beater. Christy says, "Nerd. But I'm starting to understand the female fascination with him...though I have yet to participate." He overcame Emily's initial amusement with the chubby cheeks. Beth and Deanna are with me. As you can see, I have been enthusiastic about sharing the joy. Strangely enough, within one week, two people told me about this song and since then I have been hearing it in random places, the best one being a cafe in San Diego's Little Italy. Deanna and a couple other people have mentioned to me that I am essentially a Michael Buble fan waiting to happen, but I had never concentrated on any of his songs. YouTube has now educated me; he has such a sexy, quality voice.

Moving on, a song that has encouraged and convicted me is "Hosanna" by Hillsong: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7SMUf6QcyQ. The lines that replay in my head are: "Heal my heart and make it clean. Open up my eyes to the things unseen. Show me how to love like you have loved me. And break my heart for what breaks yours -- everything I am for your kingdom's cause, as I walk from earth into eternity." How can you dare to sing that without meaning it? And how can your life stay the same if you do mean it? Bob Pierce prayed, "Let my heart be broken by what breaks the heart of God." He then proceeded to found both World Vision and Samaritan's Purse. Amazing. Glory be to God!
