Connect the dots..la la la la

Last night during the sermon at Bluer, I found myself playing musical connect-the- dots in my head. John spoke of God's amazing love, and about how we (His people) need to be conduits of his love for the world to experience. Below you can read the how the sound track to his message played in my head.

Love Me Like You Do (So Amazing)
by Scott Keller from the Vineyard Dwell Album

God of Glory you have made all things, all things
Who am I that you would think of me, of me
For you made the earth, you made the stars
Yet you know my name, you know my heart
You're always there, you're never far away

So amazing as you paint the sky
So amazing, makes me wonder why
You love me like you do
You love me like you do
That you love me like you do
So amazing, so amazing

I see the birds ride on the winds, they fly so high
Mountain peaks so tall they seem to touch the sky
Creation calls your name above yet in your mercy and your love
You came to give you life that I might live

I Will Not Be Silent
by David Crowder from the All I Can Say Album

I will not be silent
I will not be quiet anymore
(repeat)

Let My Life Be Like A Love Song
by Tom Slater & Brenton Brown (another Vineyard classic)

Lord the love you give, you give so generously
You were my sacrifice, you gave your life for me
And now I want to Give, just as I received
To live a life that shines, Your love for those in need

Let my life be like a love song
Let my life be like a love song
Let my life be like a love song
to your heart

So let justice roll, like an endless stream
flowing through my life to the poor and weak
Let the things I do and words I speak
Reveal the awesome love you have shown me

Is this thing on?

Okay, so for those of you whom I have talked to about blogging, you may have heard me say that I am not so sure I want my thoughts to be able to be available for the world to read. However, this year I am interning in the St. Paul Public School system in a special project called the poetry lab...and in it I am teaching students to use writing as a way to express themselves in ways that they maynot have done in the past. Therefore I am going to challenge myself to do the same...so here it goes.
