captivated

when I look into the mountains, I see Your fame,
when I look into the night sky, it sparkles Your name

the wind in the clouds and the blue in the sky,
the sun and the moon and the stars so high
that’s what draws me to You

I am, I’m captivated by You
(You know that You do)
I am, I’m captivated

when I wake unto the morning, it gives me Your sights,
when I look across the ocean, it echoes Your mights

the sand on the shore and the waves in the sea,
the air in my lungs and the way You made me
that’s what draws me to You

the wind in the clouds and the blue in the sky,
the sun and the moon and the stars so high,
the sand on the shore and the waves in the sea,
the air in my lungs and the way You made me,

the blood in my veins and my heart You invade,
the plants how they grow and the trees in the shade,
the way that I feel and the love in my soul,
I thank You my God for letting me know

Greed

EMI gave us several of Shawn McDonald’s Roots CD for the Something Beautiful podcast. We’ll be giving 2 away over the next couple episodes.

Really digging this album.

Listening to Greed (click to see a video) while laughing at all the hub-bub over Apple’s WWDC today.

Here are the words… good stuff….

Well take a look around and tell me what you see
We are consuming everything
And I must confess that I fall
Oh, Isn’t this the story of us all?

Falsely advertised
Into believing we need this stuff in our lives

‘Cause what we got is what we need
And everything else is only greed
It’s greener on the other side, Oh why can’t we be satisfied, oh

I’ve seen some with a little
And they seemed to be doing just fine to me
And I’ve seen some with alot
And they don’t seem like they ever want to stop

Falsely advertised
Into believing we need this stuff in our lives

‘Cause what we got is what we need
And everything else is only greed
It’s greener on the other side, Oh why can’t we be satisfied, oh

‘Cause what we got is what we need
And everything else is only greed
It’s greener on the other side, Oh why can’t we be satisfied, oh
