Some songs

Some songs affect me more than others. It's like the words are aimed at my heart, speak to my life and situation and just apply to what I'm going through. They say there's a song for every mood- which I find is very true. Go to band when I'm in study mode? Mat Kearney or SafetySuit. Happy? Throw on some Parachute or some upbeat pop songs. Mad? Daughtry usually does the trick. Mellow mood? John Mayer, Ben Rector or the Fray. The list could go on (I have a rather large music library...) but really. The songs that get me in every situation I'm in are the songs that take the focus off of me, and put it on God. Lead Me to the Cross, Inside Out, You'll Come and other have been some of my favorite worship songs of all times. I gotta say though, nothing quite speaks to my heart (besides the word of God) like The Desert Song by Hillsong United. The back story to this song- what Jill went through before she sang it gave me a whole new perspective on the song. Take a few minutes and watch this. I think all of us can learn something. It's not about worshipping God in the good times, it's about trusting him and bringing him praise in the good, bad, and in between times. This is my prayer in the desert, when all that's within me feels dry....
