I absolutely love that song boots..

I agree about most christian music completely sucks, when you hear all the put on cultural lingo and airyness it often makes you want to throw.. Thiers a few fantastic christian artists though. I really like the lyrics of Paul colemans stuff, alot of heart felt and covert crys to the christian community towards a more compassionate gospel(imho)

I get moved just as much by secular artists who have a strong spirituality in thier music tho...

The one song that has stuck with me for the last 10 years or so is this one by tracy chapman.. I've never heard a song I identify so completely with...the older i have got the more I identify with it.. In some ways it for me is also a reflection against my black and white pentecostal mind set where i believed I had all the answers and if i just followed this path my whole life would just click into place.. Its a reflection of doing more damage then good

When the illusion was shattered and the questions got more difficult and the personal failure becomes so overwhelming it is the place where one finds peace with accepting the now and present.....

Tracy Chapman - At This Point In My Life Lyrics

At this point in my life, I've done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right.
If you put your trust in me, I hope I won't let you down.
If you give me a chance, I'll try.

You see it's been hard the road I'm traveling on, and if I take your hand I might lead you down the path to ruin.
I've had a hard life-just saying so you understand that

right now, right now
I'm doing the best that I can
at this point in my life.
At this point in my life,
although I've mostly walked in the
shadows,
I'm still searching for light.
Won't you put your faith in me?
We both know that's what matters.
If you give me a chance, I'll try.
You see, I've been climbing stairs, but mostly stumbling down.I've been reaching high but mostly losing ground.
You see I've conquered hills but I still have mountains to climb and right now, right now,
I'm doing the best I can

at this point in my life.
Before we take a step, before we walk down the path, before I make any promises, before you have regrets, before we talk commitment,let me
tell you of my past-all I've seen and all I've done, the things I'd like to forget

at this point in my life.
At this point in my life,

I'd like to live as if only love
mattered, as if redemption was in sight,
as if the search to live honestly is
all that anyone needs, no matter if you find it.

You see when I've touched the sky, the earth's gravity has
pulled me down. But now I've reconciled that in this world, birds and angels get the wings to fly.

If you can believe in this heart of mine, if you can give it a
try, then I'll reach inside and find and give you all the sweetness that I have

at this point in my life, at this point in my life.


Pretty much sums up life for me at the moment post pentecostalism :)
