Lyrics & passage

I have been crazy busy this week at work and have not taken my usual breaks to write.  Plus I just have not had any concise clear thoughts worthy of blogging about.  I have however been listening to a lot of music and reading every chance I get.  So no commentary, just reprinting of the lyrics of a song by Jennifer Knapp titled Breath on Me.  I discovered Jennifer Knapp about a month ago when I was reading Rachel Held Evans blog on Christians who have come out.  She rocks.  

Breathe on Me
No temptation seize a man that he can't overcome
who am I to be fallen?
Crack your back on a slab of wood
Come freedom, nail it down
I come crawling,
I come crawling

Come trickle down and save the world
two hands that I can't see
come breathe, come breathe,
come breathe on me
split-rib water, blood and bone
come now, come Calvary
come breathe, come breathe on me

Testimony come now, quickly, whisper in my ear:
celebration
Peace at last not far away, empty sheet, a borrowed grave:
salvation
come freedom, come
come freedom, come

Come trickle down and save the world
two hands that I can't see
come breathe, come breathe,
come breathe on me
split-rib water, blood and bone
come now, come Calvary
come breathe, come breathe on me
come breathe, come breathe on me

come freedom, come
come freedom, come
come freedom, come

Come trickle down and save the world
two hands that I can't see
come breathe, come breathe,
come breathe on me
split-rib water, blood and bone
come now, come calvary
come breathe, come breathe on me


Pretty powerful stuff.  It is everything I can do to not raise my hands high in the air when I hear this song or get down on my knees.  Both of which might alarm my co-workers and make them question my sanity.  Lately I have just been so on fire for God and feeling His presence so deeply.  Hard to contain myself.

The passage that I want to share is from More Ready Than You Realize by Brian McLaren. 

"Good evangelists are people who engage others in good conversation about important and profound topics, such as faith, values, hope, meaning, purpose, goodness, beauty, truth, life after death, life before death and God...Evangelists are people with a mission from God and a passion to love and serve their neighbors."
