captivated

i'm finding lately _
whether it's always been true about myself, i'm not sure.. .

the simplest things capture my attention

i seem to be captivated by such mundane events
_ the way a leaf falls from a tree down to the ground//

YouTube seems to know me all to well already. They recommended this for me.

like Yours for me

by this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another_ john 13.35

ingrid and i

ingrid and i could be besties. i would sing harmony and rock it in cool hats and glasses in the background.

the christian enya

for years I have loved Enya. the type of music you sit back and just relax in your candle filled living room. and think of nothing. empty your mind. and just breathe... . her music is like that. A deep sigh.

tonight as I did my lesson plans. my tv on channel 432 Comcast Christian contemporary music, an Enya-like voice appeared.

the lyrics to Lovely
a beautiful love song to God
perfect

You're the sweet dreams that soothe me
when I can't fall asleep.
You're the field
in the middle of the city.
When I'm rushing by
at the speed of light.

You're the strong resolution
when I find no peace.
You're the church bells ringing
in the evening.
When all is quiet,
Your whisper comfort
lifts my heart.
I get so weak.

Ohhh.... You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A thousand times
I look around me and I find...

Ohh... you're lovely. (lovely)
You're the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A million ways
cannot explain,
you're lovely.

You're the soft words that touch me
when I just can't speak.
You're the breeze on the ocean
in the morning,
reminding me
to greet the day.

You're the flowers I remember
seeing in Italy.
Colors through
a golden haze,
bright and radiant,
soft and fragrant
In the noon day sun,
it makes me sing.

Ohh... You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A thousand times
I look around me and I find...

Ohh... You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A million ways
cannot explain
You're lovely.

I understand...
There may be grief
and there may be pain.
But I am aware
You blind the darkness
with who You are
because...

Ohh... You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A thousand times
I look around me and I find...

Ohh... You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A million ways
cannot explain
You're lovely.

introducing Kina.

I went searching for a worship song I heard tonight being practiced for Sunday's service.

_Came up empty-handed as to the artist and the song name.

Your love is strong, Your love is long..

The lyrics are based upon one my of my favorite verses.

Ephesians 3.18-19

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be FILLED TO THE MEASURE of all the FULLNESS of God.

Amidst my thirty minute lyric search, I uncovered this new artist.
Not well known _ as of yet, I think. But wonderful. talented.

lovin' her right now.
