Flesh and Bone

I met a man who walked on water

Who wore His crown like a blue collar  

I met a man who treated children  

Like they were ambassadors to the Kingdom

If I saw the world in Your eyes  

Would it help me understand?  

How You see through all our lies  

Still You hold us in Your hand

I'm dying to believe  

I'm trying just to show  

That we're less than perfect  

More than flesh and bone

People climbing trees to catch sight of You  

Broken and blind searching for the truth  

We're crippled by our fears and torments  

Oh, Son of man, have pity on Your servants

If I saw the world in Your eyes  

Would it help me understand?  

How You see through all our lies  

Still You hold us in Your hand

I'm dying to believe  

I'm trying just to show  

That we're less than perfect  

More than flesh and bone

I wander and I want  

Squander the riches of Your love  

It's never enough for me  

Oh, take this poverty and nail it to this tree  

And all that's captive shall go free, I'm free

And if I saw the world in Your eyes  

Would it help me understand?  

That You see through all our lies  

Still You hold us in Your hand

I'm dying to believe  

I'm rising just to show

That we're less than perfect  

Yeah, we're less than perfect

That we're less than perfect  

More than flesh and bone

Ask Me WhoOo

Recently, a friend shared a CD with my family that put the Christian basics, or first catechism to music. It is called Ask Me Whooo, by Diana Beach Batarseh. I found it on ITunes for $9.99. Now listen, I usually shy away from children's music. A lot of it is just...hard to listen to. But I've really enjoyed listening to this CD with my kids. I have especially loved hearing Ever Joy singing the songs in the shower.

Rodrigo y Gabriela

Last night Pav and I got the chance to see Rodrigo and Gabriela play live over in Knoxville, TN. It was amazing! Dave managed to get Pav and I student tickets ($5) to see them play at UT. Then on top of that his lovely wife, Laura, watched Zoe for us. My mom kept Ever Joy and Sawyer for the night.

Rodrigo and Gabriela sound great on cd, but seeing them live was incredible. Pav said he probably won't pick up his guitar for a few months, after having seen their talent. This is a clip we took with our camera, which doesn't do them justice. There are more clips available on You Tube or Facebook. If you have time check them out. Note: they are playing classical guitars, but they do not play classical music.
