Like several Fridays before this, and several Fridays to come, another Song Of The Week is rolling by. I must admit, I had a hard time picking this one out. I wanted something meaningful and heartwarming to take the SOTW this week, but also, to break away from the minor tones of previous weeks. So in light of this, I went searching, and think I found what I was looking for.
Rescue - Seabird, 'Til We See The Shore"The earth moves and you find me/Alive but unworthy/broken and empty/but you don't care"
I must admit, finding this song was a pleasant surprise to me. I was looking for "greats" that I might have missed in 2008, and was directed to this band just this past week. I think that right now, there is a lot of depressing stuff going on, around us and within us, and sometimes we let that overtake us and control us. But when that happens, we must always remember that there is a way out, there is a rescue from our troubles.
Rescue is musically catchy and vibrant, but positively conveys its message to the listener. The ever present piano is a joy to listen to. This song was chosen for this week because it is a positive and welcome reminder that God is our rescue, no matter who we are or what we've done. That's what I love about Him. He has compassion for all of us, and loves all of us the same, which unfortunately we cannot say for ourselves. And yet, as imperfect as we are, he'll gladly take us from now to eternity. That's one thing that will amaze me about Him for the rest of my life. He takes care of all of us, and when it feels like you're falling, be assured that He will come to your rescue.
Alive and unworthy we all may be,
But God disregards this,
And in grace sets us free.
