Take me into Your arms

So, I was listening to some High School Musical songs earlier today, and one of the songs I listened to was "Can I have this dance?" Well, wouldn't it be more amazing if I could dance with the Him who pursued me all my life? So I wrote this in response. St. Valentine's Day just can't get here any faster!

Take me into Your arms, O Lord, and swing me with the music of Your creation.

Pull me into Your holy dance, and drive me into the love of Your Spirit.

Touch me with Your tender mercy, and whisper with the winds of Your grace.

Draw me by the scent of the sweat upon which You bore the holy Cross so heavy,

And open my eyes to the majesty of the glory of Your Holy Trinity.

Enrapture my heart with the carpentry of the woodwork You hang upon,

And feed my body with the Bread and Wine which you so willingly given me.

I love You, Jesus. More and more each day.

Still alive, barely.

I got a job!!! I'm working part-time at Barnes and Noble Booksellers and trying to study full-time on the LSAT. Sir Thomas More, if you're reading this, please talk to the big man upstairs for me. ;)

This song causes tears to flow down my face every time I listen to it. It's a good summary of the Faith. After listening to it so many times, I pretty much memorized most of it in Latin by now.

Here's the text.

St. Thomas More, pray for us.
St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us.
Lord Jesus, Son of God and Son of Mary, pray for us.

Worship Wars

Chuck Colson, a commentator on various topics, talked about good and bad worship music the other day. I think his arguments are pretty much in line with mine as well.

What makes worship music good or bad? I’ll tell you this—it’s more than simply a matter of taste. Find out why.
