... when it seems like the whole world has a case of the Galloping Dumbs, but this just came to mind, so I thought I'd share.

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And mild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men.

I thought how as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th'unbroken song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men.

And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men."

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep,
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, goodwill to men."

'Til ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men!
--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Fairest Lord Jesus,
Ruler of all nature,
O Thou of God and man the Son,
Thee will I cherish,
Thee will I honor,
Thou my soul's glory, joy, and crown.

Fair are the meadows,
Fairer still the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring.
Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.

Fair is the sunshine,
Fairer still the moonlight
And all the twinkling starry host.
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heav'n can boast.

Beautiful Savior,
Lord of the Nations,
Son of God and Son of Man,
Glory and honor,
Praise, adoration,
Now and forever more be Thine.

... consider this a love song to you from God.

(Yes, it's country. It's still a great song.)

In other news, I actually made some progress on "Jeep Jockey Jumper" this morning. Have to stop now for real work, but I might--*might*--have the final chapter(s) ready to post sometime this weekend.

On the off chance you need something to lighten your Tuesday....

I thank God for this day,
For the sun in the sky,
For my mom and my dad,
For my piece of apple pie!
For our home on the ground,
For His love that's all around,
That's why I say thanks every day!
Because a thankful heart is a happy heart!
I'm glad for what I have;
That's an easy way to start!
For the love that He shares,
'Cause He listens to our prayers,
That's why I say thanks every day!

Even in yucky times, we have so much to be thankful for. And for that alone I am thankful.

Headed home for the holiday, and I'm not sure how much I'll be online... so have a happy Thanksgiving, and I'll see you on the flip side!

Somehow, in reading about God's attributes in the Summa tonight, I managed to get the first three lines of the chorus to this hymn stuck in my head. I finally hit Google to find it so that I could get the last line right... and it's so good that I had to share. :)

I want to walk as a child of the light. I want to follow Jesus.
God set the stars to give light to the world. The star of my life is Jesus.

Chorus
In Him there is no darkness at all. The night and the day are both alike.
The Lamb is the light of the city of God. Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus.

I want to see the brightness of God. I want to look at Jesus.
Clear sun of righteousness, shine on my path, and show me the way to the Father.
Chorus

I'm looking for the coming of Christ. I want to be with Jesus.
When we have run with patience the race, we shall know the joy of Jesus.
Chorus

Current Mood: enthralled

Watched this the other day and thought of some people I know....

MARIA
When you're sixteen, going on seventeen,
Waiting for life to start,
Somebody kind who touches your mind
Will suddenly touch your heart.

LESL
When it happens, after it happens,
Nothing is quite the same;
I know that I would fly to his side
If ever he calls my name.

MARIA
Gone are your old ideas of life,
The old ideas grow dim.
Suddenly soon you're someone's wife,
And you belong to him.
You may think this kind of adventure
Never will happen to you;
Darling sixteen, going on seventeen,
Wait a year or two.

LESL
I'll wait a year...

BOTH
Just wait a year or two.

Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
—I Corinthians 15:1-5 (English Standard Version)

Myth is man’s blind attempt to explain the Creation he sees around him…. The one True Myth was when God came down to explain Himself to us (and what we did to Him).
—Douglas Gresham

The Birth of Christ is the eucatastrophe of Man’s history. The Resurrection is the eucatastrophe of the story of the Incarnation. This story begins and ends in joy. It has pre-eminently the "inner consistency of reality." There is no tale ever told that so many men would rather find was true, and none which so many sceptical men have accepted as true on its own merits. For the Art of it has the supremely convincing tone of Primary Art, that is of Creation…. But this story is supreme; and it is true. Art has been verified. God is the Lord, of angels, and of men—and of elves. Legend and History have met and fused.
—J. R. R. Tolkien

Swallowed into Earth's dark womb;
Death has triumphed—that's what they say.
But try to hold Him in the tomb!
The Sun of Life rose on the third day!
Just look, the gates of Hell, they're falling!
Crumbling from the inside out!
He's bursting through the walls with laughter!
Listen to the angels shout!

It is finished!
He has done it!
Life conquered death!
Jesus Christ has won it!

His plan of battle, you know, it fooled them all.
They led Him off to prison to die.
But as He entered Hades' hall,
He broke those hellish chains with a cry!
Just listen to the demons screaming!
See Him bruise the serpent's head!
The prisoners of Hell He's redeeming!
All the power of death is dead!

It is finished!
He has done it!
Life conquered death!
Jesus Christ has won it!
—Jamie Owens Collins

Hear the bells ringing, they're singing that we can be born again!
Hear the bells ringing, they're singing, "Christ is risen from the dead!"
The angel up on the tombstone
Said, "He is risen, just as He said!
Quickly now, go tell His disciples
That Jesus Christ is no longer dead!"
Joy to the world!
He is risen, alleluia!
He is risen, alleluia!
He is risen, alleluia, alleluia!
—Anne Herring

He paid a debt He did not owe;
I owed a debt I could not pay.
I needed someone to wash my sins away.
And now I sing a brand new song, "Amazing Grace"!
Christ Jesus paid the debt that I could never pay!
—Ellis J. Crum (but rather similar to Anselm's argument in Cur Deus homo!)

Happy Easter, y'all. :)

Current Music: 2nd Chapter of Acts--"Easter Song" (mental jukebox)

Most people don't find out till it's too late
That someone has to pay the price.
You can pay it yourself (ha!) or let someone else,
But who would be that nice,
To pay a debt that isn't his?
Well, I know Someone like that,
And He's your best Friend, He really is,
He really loves you.

Most people don't find out till they're half dead
That they need another life.
You say you've heard everything that's ever been said
About the Way, the Truth, the Life.
You say you've heard lots of preaching all before
So many times,
But did you ever open up the door,
Give Him a chance to prove Himself?
Well, He's real!

Oh, I hope you find out before it's too late
That there's really nobody else.
You know, it's breaking His heart, the longer you wait,
'Cause you've only been lying to yourself.
'Cause no one believes a thing you say,
Not even you.
You know, you're gonna find out that He's the way
No matter which way you choose,
But I pray you'll find out by His love for you.

Some people won't find out till it's too late....

... for

kisaoda (see title above):

Oh, I used to love you, but now that's hard to do,
'Cause I got some information 'bout the evil things at night that you do,
And the whole thing is true.
We are through!
Oh, you're such a devil; how'd you get me to believe you were true?
Ooh!

Oh, my mama warned me, and how my daddy cried!
The day I left my home, you said you'd always keep me satisfied,
But oh, how you lied!
You lied!
Oh, I should have heard my mama's words, but then I guess I had too much pride.
Original sin!
Woah, I used to lie awake at night and see your face on the ceiling.
What a bad feeling
I have when I think of how you almost got me
In the ways of the world,
In the ways of the world!

My so-called friends say I've misjudged you,
My anger's all in vain,
But I'm afraid you got to them before I had a chance to explain,
And it caused me such pain.
Ouch!
'Cause they were such good friends of mine,
But now you've got them playin' your game--
You creep!
Woah, I used to lie awake at night and see your face on the ceiling.
What a bad feeling
I have when I think of how you almost got me
In the ways of the world,
In the ways of the world!

[instrumental break]

I believe in Jesus and what He said He's gonna do:
He'll put an apple in your lyin' mouth and cook you in a sulfur stew,
One that'll never be through!
"Is it soup yet?" "No!"
Oh, but if He hadn't rescued me, then I'd be down there cookin' too!
Oh, if Jesus hadn't rescued me, then I'd be cookin' right next to you!
Oooh!
I used to lie awake at night and see your face on the ceiling.
Haha, what a great feeling
I have when I think of how you're gonna get yours
At the end of the world,
At the end of the world,
Oh, at the end of the world,
At the end of the world,
Oh, at the end of the world!

Current Music: Keith Green--"Dear John Letter (to the Devil)"

No particular reason for this one beyond it popping into my head the other day. :)

I just woke up,
Coffee in my cup.
Sultry walk on a sunny day,
Find out what the papers say;
Message from the President:
No more tax for residents!
Go USA!
I'm so happy, feeling snappy!
My life is rosy, I'm feeling comfy cozy!

Free limo ride,
Free food inside!
Getting paid triple time,
Gotta go to Anaheim.
Grabbed my briefcase, left my house,
Got a meeting with the mouse.
Flying first class!
I'm so happy, feeling snappy!
My life is rosy, I'm feeling comfy cozy!
Keeps getting better,
Good times forever,
And this is one great day!

Playing guitar in a band,
Just got back from Disneyland,
Driving my new four by four,
Ed McMahon is at my door,
Stocks I bought just went up,
Canucks won the Stanley Cup,
Bill Gates put me in his will,
Someone paid my Visa bill!!
I'm so happy, feeling snappy!
My life is rosy, I'm feeling comfy cozy!
I'm so happy, feeling snappy!
Will there be sorrow
When I wake up tomorrow?

Love to hear the robin going tweet, tweet, tweet.

Rockin' robin (tweet, tweet, tweet);
Rock, rock, rockin' robin (tweet, tweedle-dee);
Go, rockin' robin, 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight!

Every little bird in the tall oak tree,
The wise old owl, the big black crow,
Flappin' their wings, singin' go, bird, go!

The pretty little raven at the birdbath stand
Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand.
They started goin' steady, and bless my soul,
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole!

Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' his song.
All the little birds on Jay-Bird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet, tweet, tweet.

Wake up, little Susie, wake up!
Wake up, little Susie, wake up!
We’ve both been sound asleep;
Wake up, little Susie, and weep!
The movie’s over, it’s four o’clock, and we’re in trouble deep!
Wake up, little Susie!
Wake up, little Susie, well...

Whatta we gonna tell your mama?
Whatta we gonna tell your pop?
Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say “Ooh-la-la”?
Wake up, little Susie!
Wake up, little Susie, well...

I told your mama that you’d be in by ten;
Well, Susie baby, looks like we goofed again.
Wake up, little Susie!
Wake up, little Susie, we gotta go home!

Wake up, little Susie, wake up!
Wake up, little Susie, wake up!
The movie wasn’t so hot,
It didn’t have much of a plot;
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation'll be shot!
Wake up, little Susie!
Wake up, little Susie, well...

Whatta we gonna tell your mama?
Whatta we gonna tell your pop?
Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say “Ooh-la-la”?

Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye;
Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry.
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie,
'Cause that'll be the day when I die!

Well, you give me all your loving and your turtle doving,
All your hugs and kisses and your money, too.
Well, you know you love me baby, and still you tell me maybe
That someday, well, I'll be blue....

Feeling like PoG tonight. Not cut because I'm not sure how many people may need to read these.

-------

He looked through temples of time
To see you right where you stand.
He emptied all of Himself
So He could reach out His hand,
To give hope and healing
To the wasted-away,
And you are one of the ones
That He was dying to save.

Chorus
He was dying to reach you,
Trying to meet you where you need him most.
You've been living in search of
The whole truth and real love your whole life through.
You can open your heart,
'Cause He's dying to reach you.

He's standing there at the door;
You can hear Him call you by name.
He simply waits to forgive
All of the guilt and the shame.
He gave up His own life,
And He still bears the scars.
He only wants to receive you,
So come as you are!

Chorus

Oh, He has waited time and time before;
You must be still and know that He is Lord!

Chorus

-------

Hear the clock strike two a.m.,
Another sleepless night for you--
Oh, I have been there, too.
But there is healing in the hand of God;
He will cover everybody,
He'll even touch someone like you.
It's a natural thing to believe that
Something wonderful never comes easy.
Let it go!
There is power in the cross to heal us,
There is freedom in the blood that Jesus
Offered to you
So freely.

Chorus
Feel the wonder of it all,
Let your heart and your mind receive
An answer to the call.
Feel the wonder of it all,
Sweet Jesus,
The love of God,
The wonder of it all.

Another day, another twist in the road,
A cloud upon your soul--
Don't let it take control.
Don't be afraid to say the Name;
He's there for those who call Him,
He's your refuge from the cold.
To love God is a curious thing, yeah,
The more you give, it seems the more He brings
His love back to you.
In the presence of the Holy Spirit,
Bells ringin', and I can hear
The angels sing
So clearly!

Chorus

Lord, You have made us for Yourself; and our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee. -- Augustine
