i figured out that link thing...

literally thirty seconds ago i found a video of Phil Wickham singing one of my favorite songs ever. because my computer messed up and i could not copy his new album "Heaven and Earth" and i really wanted to listen to Cielo so i was just searching youtube. well anyway i thought i'd share that with you.

but this post is REALLY to share this song (Cielo).
so here are the lyrics:

I'm walking through the bright white gates
Breathing in and out your grace
All around me melodies rise
That echo with the joy inside
So I start to sing
But I can't sing loud enough
I can't sing loud enough
When I'm singing for You my God
I can't sing loud enough
I can't sing loud enough
When I'm singing for You my God

With a thunder roll and a brilliant light
Your glory boasts and the heavens shine
The saints and angels stand in awe
Captured by the beauty of it all
So I fall to my knees
But I can't bow low enough
I can't bow low enough
At the vision of You my God
I can't bow low enough
I can't bow low enough
At the vision of You my God

I can't hold it all inside
I'm reaching for the One who brought me out of death and into life
But I can't lift my hands high enough
Life my hands high enough
When I'm reaching for You my God
I can't lift my hands high enough
Life my hands high enough
When I'm reaching for You my God

Oh I'm reaching for You my God
I'm reaching for You
I'm reaching for You
I'm reaching for You my God


actually my second reason is similar to the first. just a different song:
Be Near Me by Bethany Dillon**
I follow all the rules
Well, at least I'm trying
Hoping when my days are through
You'll be pleased

I've lived the longest days
Thinking my heart was so bad
Too scared to look in your face
Oh, if only I had

And is it alright
If I stay here all night
By the shoreline

I cannot believe you are angry or unjust
You've done nothing but have compassion on us
So be near me when I've given up
Be near me

I'm just like everyone else
We are all hiding
Acting like I have a wealth
Of knowledge and peace

But all I've ever wanted
And what men have given their lives for
Is a God who understands my weaknesses
A God that I can love

I believe you are good and righteous
You've given me your reckless love
So be near, be near...



there's really not much to say to go along with this. it's just super great. that is all. this is long, but it's just songs... so maybe it's not really that long... oh well.
**terrible quality. this was the only one online i could find...
