Our Lady Peace released their new album that took almost 3 years to complete. Not on iTunes so I am hitting up Target at lunch.. But their songs are very inspirational… They are seekers for something out there. The lead singer Raine Maida, married to Chantal Kreviazuk has a huge heart for people suffering from AIDS, a huge heart for children affected by war (War Child Canada - Currently spotlighting the region of Africa my mother was born and raised in, The Democratic Republic of Congo).
Where Are You

Many times I have played OLP's music for friends and they have asked if they were a christian group. So there is a tone of inspiration that I am not the only one who sees it.
I see in this song that Raine is calling out in the chorus "Where Are You" and questioning in a verse if he is happy? Claiming he has everything he wants, and questioning if is there more to want?
I feel a lot like this sometimes, seeing the blessings I have recieved and still yearning for more? Feeling a void that is not satisfyable with anything I can try to fill with. But then to lean on Jesus for him to fill that… I would change the verse to
"Where are you?
I need you!"

I have been rocking out to some Audioslave lately, Chris Cornell's voice sucks you in pretty good…
I came across a song I had downloaded about 2 years ago. I have listened to this countless times before, but last week I actually listened to it versus just blasting it in the car… "Show Me How to Live"
I started listening to their other songs and find many of them stories of their search for their faith…
What do you think???
And with the early dawn
Moving right along
I couldn't buy and eyeful of sleep
And in the aching night under satellites
I was not received
Built with stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure or is this a disease
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live (x2)
And in the after birth
On the quiet earth
Let the stains remind you
You thought you made a man
You better think again
Before my role defines you
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live (x2)
And in your waiting hands
I will land
And roll out of my skin
And in your final hours I will stand
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live (x2)
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
