One of my Christmas presents this year was John Mayers album, Continuum. It’s a great album – of what I’ve heard of him so far, it’s definitely my favourite. I’ve been loving this particular song…
Is there anyone who
Ever remembers changing there mind from
The paint on a sign?
Is there anyone who really recalls
Ever breaking rank at all
For something someone yelled real loud one time
Everyone believes
In how they think it ought to be
Everyone believes
And they’re not going easily
Belief is a beautiful armor
But makes for the heaviest sword
Like punching under water
You never can hit who you’re trying for
Some need the exhibition
And some have to know they tried
It’s the chemical weapon
For the war that’s raging on inside
Everyone believes
From emptiness to everything
Everyone believes
And no ones going quietly
We’re never gonna win the world
We’re never gonna stop the war
We’re never gonna beat this
If belief is what we’re fighting for
What puts a hundred thousand children in the sand
Belief can
Belief can
What puts the folded flag inside his mother’s hand
Belief can
Belief can
[Belief – John Mayer]
What’s been the soundtrack to your week?

It’s that time of the week again…
This song has been rumbling around my head for weeks, but this week especially I just can’t get those lines (If you feel lost and tired / This is your song) out of my head.
– – –
Oh, my God
Shine Your light on us
That we might live
Oh, my God
Shine Your light on us
That we might live
I’ve been holding on
I’ve been holding on
All that is inside me
Screams to come back home
If you feel lost
If you feel lost
Sing along
If you feel tired
If you feel tired
Sing along
If you feel lost and tired
This is your song
I’ve been broken down
I’ve been broken down
I ain’t giving up
Love will come back around
Shine Your light
Shine it down
Let Your rescue come for us, we long to love
Shine Your Light On Us
Robbie Seay Band

I’m blessed to have such an amazing circle of friends, and I wanted to share with you something that a few of those mates have been involved in recently…
Rick, Ruth, and Stewart (among others) have been involved in recording a Christmas worship CD called ‘while earth slept’ which is releasing this week. It’s a collection of songs and thoughts taking us through the Christmas story in a fresh and inspiring way. The CD’s are being sold for £10 each with all proceeds going to two charities – ‘Out of Africa Missions‘ and ‘MacMillan Cancer Care’.
They’re hosting 2 nights of Christmas worship to launch this album, one in Enniskillen (Dec 19) and the other in Ballymena (Dec 22). With music from Stewart McIlrath, Ruth Williams and the Spark worship team, a message from Rick Hill, alongside multimedia, thoughts, interviews and a few Christmas nibbles, it promises to be a heart stirring time at this special time of the year.
Entry is free into both these nights, with CD’s being on sale.

Perhaps the beginning of a new series? Anne Jackson started/suggested it, and it seemed fun…
A song that’s been bothering me all week is “Angels or Devils” by Dishwalla…
this is the last time
that I’m ever gonna come here tonight
this is the last time – I will fall
into a place that fails us all – inside
I can see the pain in you
I can see the love in you
but fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time
the angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down
come around
I’m always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold
this is the last time
that I’m ever gonna give in tonight
are there angels or devils crawling here?
I just want to know what blurs and what is clear – to see
still I can see the pain in you
and I can see the love in you
and fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time
the angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down – come around
I’m always gonna worry about the things that could break us
if I was to give in – give it up
– and then
take a breath – make it deep
cause it might be the last one you get
be the last one
that could make us cold
you know that they could make us cold
I’m always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold
Your shout: what songs been stuck in your head this week?
