Theme Songs

I have some theme songs. They are well...my theme songs. It's like a list of songs that I relate to and I like the message in the song. Here they are

All That Matters-Addison Road

I may never be the one that gets a second glance
I may never be the one they call the prettiest
But that’s alright with me
And maybe I don’t follow every crazy passion
Spend all my time trying to get a good reaction
But that’s OK with me

This world is like a trampoline
High and low no in between
Jumping at the chance to please
Everyone but that’s not me

Cause all that matters is
All that matters is
I know your love has set me free
And that’s all that matters to me
Cause all that matters is
All that matters is
I know your love has set me free
And that’s all that matters to me
Some people tell me to step out and do my own thing
And others say I got to blend in just to be the same
And stop being me
But this shallow world is no longer what I’m made of
I’ve been changed by grace
I’ve been saved by love
What more do I need

*All that matters is
All that matters is
I know your love has set me free
And that’s all that matters to me (x2)*

My life comes from the One
Who made the stars and brought the sun
He loves me more than these
So I don’t need another identity
Cause all that matters is
All that matters is I know your love has set me free
And that’s all that matters to me (X2)

I like this song because it says how all this stuff the world says matters doesn't really matter because every one's precious in God's eyes. So it doesn't matter if we are what the world says is attractive or popular or not. God thinks we are wonderful just the way we are and He made us exactly the way He wanted to. You don't need another identity because God's given you a perfect one. All that matters is that God loves you.

Letters to the President

When we were younger,
we used to sit on my porch
And talk smack about girls and professional sports
There's a lot of things I wanted to say
But never got a chance to find a way

take a good look at all of our high schools
This is the first reason that I want to write you
It must be tough when society is messed up
Gotta save money, please don't take it out on us
Do they even know?
Do they even know?

If I was brave I'd write a letter to the president
And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament
But for now I won't say nothing
From all the kids who would stand in my residence
Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence
But for now I won't say nothing

Now that we're older a brand new story unfolds
About God and the laws that we've always been told
And there's a lot of things I wanted to say
But never got a chance to find a way

Same-sex marriage in a state where they don't care
Murder is wrong but the jail time's not fair
Not to mention date rape, felony and car theft
Break it down and tell me what we've got left
Do they even know?
Do they even know?

If I was brave I'd write a letter to the president
And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament
But for now I won't say nothing
From all the kids who would stand in my residence
Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence
As for now I'll start with something

Take a good look at Tommy, he's a track star
Good role model, had a chance to go real far
Then the school made a budget-cut
Cut out the track team
Now instead Tommy is a crack head

Same-sex marriage in a state where they don't care
Murder is wrong but the jail time's not fair
Not to mention date rape, felony, and car theft
Break it down and tell me what we've got left

If I was brave I'd write a letter to the president
And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament
But for now I won't say nothing
From all the kids who would stand in my residence
Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence
As for now I'll start with something

OK. It might be a weird song but here's my point to it. It's saying that there are problems in the world but we need to be brave, step out and do something about it. There are people marrying people who are the same gender, people killing others, people getting raped, people committing felonies, people stealing cars, people killing babies, and people committing suicide. All this stuff is going on around us. There are other things too like people starving, people not having access to clean water, THERE ARE PEOPLE LIVING IN SLAVERY and what's being done about it? We have a very intelligent generation if we will apply the skill and determination. So we need to step out and stand up for what's right. Even doing small things is helpful.

Innocent by Stellar Kart

I'm overdressed for success
In a world that has no shame
I've had enough of seeing love
Being played like some game

I know why the good old days are gone
Cause everyone just tolerates whats wrong
I'm not some empty space for rent

I wanna be innocent
Yours wholeheartedly
Innocent
Every part of me
Take me back so I can see
The way that love was meant to be

Boys and girls
The real world
Is one that's filled with consequence
And all the lies that glamorize
It's a life that's broken
I see why the good old days are gone
Every time I turn my TV on
What's wrong with being different

I wanna be innocent
Yours wholeheartedly
Innocent
Every part of me
Take me back so I can see
The way that love was meant to be

Buried underneath this avalanche
You are my hope and second chance
Don't let my heart get away

OK. I love this song! It's saying the world may want to do some things but I don't want to be involved in any of that. I want to be innocent. I don't want to be like everyone else. I'd rather be innocent and myself not...anyone else.

Now this next one I'm still deciding if it's going to be one of my theme songs. I'm still thinking about it but here it is. It's kinda weird but I like it.

Let's Dance by Hawk Nelson

They teach us how to talk, they'll teach us how to walk
They'll teach us how to dance just like this
They'll teach us how to dress in nothin' but the best
It's all about success

Why do we fill our heads
With these things that all make no sense
We're no different from the rest
We're all just tryin' to shake this mess

And I don't wanna look inside myself cause
Then I'll have to change somethin' else and
I don't want to live, like someone else
I'm happy in my skin, bein' myself
Let's dance

They teach us how to roll, make em lots of dough
Money is the god we work for
Keep up with the style, this artificial smile
Will only last a while

Why do we fill our heads
With these things that all make no sense
We're no different from the rest
We're all just tryin' to shake this mess

And I don't wanna look inside myself cause
Then I'll have to change somethin' else and
I don't want to live, like someone else I'm
Happy in my skin, bein' myself
Let's dance

OK the "let's dance" part is kinda random but the song is good. To me it says that I want to me myself and people might think I'm weird but I'm OK, that's just how I am. I don't want to change, I just want to be myself, let's dance.

In Conclusion

I know those songs are similar but I'm working on a list of more...diverse theme songs. Included on my list of ideas for theme songs.

Beautiful-Bethany Dillon
Cross the Line-Superchick

I can't think of anything else right now.

Thanks for reading!

Sinking Sand, and Christ the Rock

One of my favorite movies is The Second Chance. One of the themes in the movie addresses comfort zones and stuff. One song played is one of my favorites. Here are the lyrics

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.

On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

Sinking Sand

What is sinking sand? Where is it? One think suggested in the movie and I agree with is that comfort is sinking sand. I don't know about you but I sure like my comfort zone and a step out of it is...no bueno. But my comfort zone is my sinking sand.

Christ the Rock

Christ is the solid rock. Anyway not on Christ is sinking sand.

Well I guess I don't have too much to say. But I just wanted to get that out there. I encourage you to think about what your sinking sand is. Comment any responses and comments.

Before I finish I'm going to add lyrics to another song from the movie. And I encourage everyone to watch the movie. Michael W. Smith - All In The Serve

Never gave you nothing
people couldn't explain a way
Never gave you nothing without
Something to gain never could slow down
Enough to study your face but now i
Wanna know your name

Chorus: Hold my feet to the fire
Till I'm breaking a sweat
Till I'll never forget your call
Keep me in line
Give me the nerve
Here it's all in the serve

Locked in the diamond lane
I keep driving past it
Better to be safe
Than learn what your a bout
Give me another chance to go where
You're going now
I’m here to walk it out
I’m here to walk it out
I’m here to walk it out

Chorus: (2x’s)

It’s all in the serve
It’s all in the serve
Here it’s all in the serve
