Where We Belong, my new favorite song

Josh Blakesley, WhereWeBelong, track 8 on the CD entitled FreeI was watching Life on the Rock on EWTN tonight (Dec 29 2011) and it was a clip show. Pretty good as such things go, but right at the very end they played some clips from the 2011 World Youth Day. The first song that played in the background — well, it finally ended. Then another song came on. And that one I liked. I mean, really liked. Grabbed my trusty phone and did a quick search and found it. Now I’m listening to Where We Belong as I type this post, track #8 on the CD entitled Free by Josh Blakesley. Lyrics below. I really like this song. And the band. And this guy’s voice. Yay! Good Catholic music! :)

Where We Belong, Lyrics

A city on a hill
where our strength is filled,
a beacon in the night
shines a holy light.
Let the darkness fall;
there’s a new day for us all.

Refrain
This is where we belong,
the place that we call home.
We gather as one body in one Lord.
This is where we belong
the place that we call home
we come to live and love where we belong.

A chosen place revealed,
people being healed,
new life will begin,
the dead will rise again.
Open up the doors
and let the healing waters pour. (Refrain)

Bridge
This is where we give our hearts,
this is where we share our faith,
this is where we make a diff’rence,
right here in this place! (Refrain)

He Holds Everything, and this song will not let go of me

Point of Grace album, No Changin' UsJust taking a break from pondering on the post I’m writing. I saw the last part of Huckabee this past weekend. I heard him say that Point of Grace was going to sing and I wasn’t really familiar with them. So I waited. And I gotta tell you, I fell in love with this little group. And this song! If you haven’t heard them or “He Holds Everything”, get yourself a refill of whatever you’re drinking (I assume that would be a nice cold glass of iced tea, right?), pop in your earbuds, kick back and enjoy the video below.

Music to novel by, yes, I used novel as a verb

I know, I know, I used novel as a verb, I am a bad bad girl. I’m also a bad novelist, but since you won’t be reading my NaNoWriMo novel, you’ll just have to take my word for it. I’ve been blessed with some nifty writing haunts and my latest fav features contemporary Christian music, which has led to me purchasing and downloading several MP3’s over the last few days.
