If you need something to believe in
\nIf you feel you’ve reached the end of the road
\nDon’t be afraid, I’ll always guide you home
\nYou should know<\/p>\n
I’m never gonna let you down Here’s bits from two of the songs I was listening to today:<\/p>\n I wanna\u00a0save you, So, listen to me now. You’re not alone, You’re not alone, <\/p>\n Oh no, did I get too close? Unconditional, unconditionally Come just as you are to me Unconditional, unconditionally So open up your heart and just let it begin When I listen to these songs, it feels as if God is singing to me. I hear and feel the heart of the Father, Jesus, and the Spirit. Sometimes…depending on what’s happening in my day…I’ll catch my breath and start to weep. The words are so comforting and speak so much of God’s love for me.<\/p>\n Guess what? I hear these songs on the radio (Sirius XM) but not on the Christian radio stations. They’re playing on the secular channels. Here’s what I think: all people bear the Imago Dei (the image of God). We are all made in His image. And the Triune God (Father, Jesus, and Spirit) are always pursuing people, always speaking to them (if they would open their ears to hear). So am I surprised when secular artists reflect the echoes of the heart of God in their works? No. God is speaking to all people…everywhere. Why wouldn’t He use the radio as one way of speaking to His creation? The question is: are we listening?<\/p>\n “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” (Matthew 11:15, Mark 4:9, Luke 8:8, Luke 14:35)<\/p>\n 1<\/sup> Never Gonna Let You Down (by Colbie Caillat)<\/p>\n 2<\/sup> You\u2019re Not Alone (by Marie Miller)<\/p>\n 3<\/sup> Unconditionally (by Katy Perry)<\/p>\n
\nI’m always gonna build you up
\nAnd when you’re feeling lost
\nI will always find you love
\nI’m never gonna walk away
\nI’m always gonna have your back
\nAnd if nothing else you can always count on that
\nWhen you need me
\nI promise I will never let you down\u00a01<\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nI wanna save you from the pain.
\nI wanna help you,
\nI wanna help you feel the same again.
\nI wanna fix you,
\nI wanna fix your brokeness.
\nI wanna change it,
\nI wanna change it for the best.<\/p>\n
\nI’m not gonna stand here, when my friend’s down and out.
\nI’m not gonna run when, it’s hard to figure it all out.
\nIf there’s anything I’d say,
\nI will tell you right now:<\/p>\n
\nYou’re not alone,
\nYou’re not alone.<\/p>\n
\nYou’re not alone,
\nYou’re not alone.\u00a02<\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nOh, did I almost see what’s really on the inside?
\nAll your insecurities
\nAll the dirty laundry
\nNever made me blink one time<\/p>\n
\nI will love you unconditionally
\nThere is no fear now
\nLet go and just be free
\nI will love you unconditionally<\/p>\n
\nDon’t need apologies
\nKnow that you are worthy
\nI’ll take your bad days with your good
\nWalk through the storm I would
\nI do it all because I love you, I love you<\/p>\n
\nI will love you unconditionally
\nThere is no fear now
\nLet go and just be free
\nI will love you unconditionally<\/p>\n
\nOpen up your heart and just let it begin
\nOpen up your heart and just let it begin
\nOpen up your heart\u00a03<\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
