I Can Only Imagine
I don't listen to a lot of Gospel music. I performed it for years, and firmly believe that "anything" can be made Gospel. It's in how you intend it to be.
Anyway - I was listening to CDs today, working through some quotes when I suddenly realized what I chosen for today.
Now, the funny thing is the first place I heard them was back when I lived in Tampa on the "top 40" station. I heard their song "I can only imagine" and, well, for want of a better way to put it...it kicked my hiney.
A song that completely expressed my thoughts and feelings regarding my faith. On the radio! On a Top 40 radio station!!!
Anyway - I know I've blogged about it, but never have I posted it. So, today I will. Take a listen if you have a hankerin'. It's one of my all time favorite songs in life.
Wow. I got chills and tears just started running... maybe I need to start listening to Gospel music! That song really lifted me up, thanks!!
Posted by: pam at August 7, 2007 03:52 PMGospel music is the absolute bomb, but like real, real old gospel, like the Clara Ward Singers, and Marion Williams. Her voice was like the Big Hand of God just sticking His fist down your throat and grabbing at your insides, and digging stuff up. Real visceral, and highly emotional.

Brings it all back home for me. If you knew my testimony, you'd understand.
