Lyrics of the day - Rich Mullins

Listened to my Songs 2 CD from one of my spiritual heroes, Rich Mullins, on the way to work today. Some lyrical highlights:

Somewhere amidst these ins and these outs / There's a fine line of purpose I follow even now - "Somewhere"

I've gone so far from my home / I've seen the world and I have known / So many secrets I wish now I did not know / 'Cause they have crept into my heart / They have left it cold and dark / And bleeding, bleeding and falling apart... / Well we are children no more, we have sinned and grown old... / What kept You waiting for me all that time / Was Your love stronger than my foolish pride? - "Growing Young"

And if I were a painter I do not know which I'd paint / The calling of the ancient stars or assembling of the saints / And there's so much beauty around us for just two eyes to see / But everywhere I go, I'm looking - "Here in America"

And when my body lies in the ruins of the lies that nearly ruined me / Will You pick up the pieces that were pure and true / And breathe Your life into them and set them free? - "Be With You"
