Song (will I guess hymn) for the week

In light of Christmas (which, yes, was yesterday) I gave you the lyrics to my favourtist Christmas Hymn

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times did'st give the Law,
In cloud, and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

weekly song (cause I can't manage to post on Monday)

interesting tidbit at bottom

The Other Man - Sloan

You know he's not the one for you
But that's no fault of mine
He knows that I'm a friend of yours
But doesn't know I've crossed the line
I know you've got a man in the picture
But it hasn't stopped me yet
We've all be in one situation or another
We regret
Now I'm the other man
No one's rooting for me
If I'm the other man
Nature will abhor me
You know I wanna keep my distance
'Cause it's happening anyway
He knows you're gonna drift apart
And there's nothing he can say
I know that he's a stand up guy
But that's none of my concern
We've all been in one situation or another
It's my turn
To be the other man
No one sympathises
When you're the other man
Everyone despises
He's gonna find out that the rumours are true
Though they are still unbeknownst to you
He'll find out so I'll tell you because
You gotta find out before he does
I know you've got a man in the picture
But it hasn't stopped me yet
We've all be in one situation or another
We regret
Now I'm the other man
No one's rooting for me
If I'm the other man
Nature will abhor me
Yeah
No one sympathises
When you're the other man
Everyone despises
Yeah
We've all been in one situation or another
We've all been in one situation or another
We've all been in one situation or another

Here is the song:

Everything - Lifehouse

Find Me Here
Speak To Me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where I find peace again.

You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose...you're everything.

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Cause you're all I want, You're all I need
You're everything,everything
You're all I want your all I need
You're everything, everything.
You're all I want you're all I need.
You're everything, everything
You're all I want you're all I need, you're everything, everything.

And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?





Sometimes, I wish to be back in youth group, being led in worship to this song. Sometimes I think, I just need to hear him sing it again. But I know it won't be the same, cause ... really ... thats where all the problems began.

D'aw

So the mom of the kids I babysit, Allison, graduated and became a legit Firefighter on Thursday. Her husband, Shaun, is also a firefighter... this picture is just precious, Anna, their 2.5 year old daughter is just showing how proud she is of her mom :)

... erm song for a Monday Wednesday

It was a hectic weekend ... played DnD till 130 or so, then came home, spent some time chatting on MSN and confirming plans to go holiday shopping with the Kinsinator at 10am the next morning. Went to bed at the ungodly hour of 4am. I recall waking up at 9, knowing I had to be someone, but saying I didn't need to work today. Then it hit me in my sleep, I rolled over and it was 10:26am, in a record time of 4 minutes.. I got dressed, then redressed (I had accidentally went commando the first time), left two MSN messages (one to said kinsinator apologizing incase I missed her). Making it to Bathurst Station at 11am, just as she was heading down the stairs to go home.

We visited Kensington, and my soon becoming favourite market store Roach O Rama ... even for you straight cut people, the hotbox cafe in the back makes some mad delicious smoothies.. so live a little 'eh?

And we endured the Eaton Centre, where I was much more successful in the mission that was "Christmas shopping" having bought for pretty much anyone else that was needed to buy for, while realized that Calvin Klein socks are ridiciliously expensive (but was what was requested by my hard to shop for older cousin Kim).

Saturday night I hung out with Aron playing Wii sports and watching him play Zelda, ended up leaving sometime Sunday evening. I think I disgruntled some housemates of his *shrug* whatevs.

Then I babysat Sunday night.


With all that said, I bring you Monday's song today:

"Only Love" by Heather Nova

Love

I used to think that I knew what we needed
I just assumed we would always be fine
Now I don't think that we lost the feeling
But we, let everything build up inside

It's only love
But love, should make us strong
It's only love
But love, has been hurting so long

What a challenge, honesty
What a struggle to learn to speak
Who would've thought that pretending was easier

It's only love
But love, should make us strong
It's only love
But love, has been hurting so long

And it's all, a part of me
It tears at my heart
Only love
And it's all an eternity
Hoping to learn
Only love

Love

There's a part of you I'm trying to reach
Still a part I don't know
Tell me, is devotion a gift or a thief
Do you wish I'd let go

It's only love
But love, should make us strong
It's only love
But love, has been hurting so long

And it's all, a part of me
It tears at my heart
Only love
And it's all, eternity
Hoping to learn
Only love

Only love, only love
Only love, only love, only love, only
Only love, only love, only love, only love
Love, only love
