Love Through Me

I found this new artist/band/group Jenny and Tyler, that I have absolutely fallen in love with. It also doesn't hurt that their website gave me 7 free songs for signing up for a monthly e-newsletter, but that's beside the point. The point is that they are really good, and they have some really good songs. (Seriously. Go look them up on youtube, or go to their website.)
Anyways, I was listening to this song, and decided i really like it. It might actually be my new favorite song right now. Its called Love Through Me. (well, that or Faint Not, which is constantly suck in my head) But Love Through Me is the perfect song for the 30 Hour Famine stuff, in my mind. I would love to sing it. Actually, Faint not wouldn't be that bad of a choice either....) The only problem is I'm not very good at guitar, and it would sound better with a guy singing along...


there is plenty on this earth to suit our needs
but there will never ever be enough to satisfy our greed
weigh this heavy on me now until i can hardly breathe
love through me

i've never gone a day without a meal because i couldn't afford it
stood on a corner and begged for pennies, holding out a sign
call me blessed, but it sure does feel pathetic,
children ‘round the world are hungry now

so would i give up:
pillows and cable, clothing and candy,
if a boy could rest his tired bones?
would i lay down:
making all this money, just to have my milk and honey,
if my fellow man could get the chance to watch his children grow?

there is plenty on this earth to suit our needs
but there will never ever be enough to satisfy our greed
weigh this heavy on me now until i can hardly breathe
love through me

i feel in the right, self-justified giving coins away
but what about the time i consider mine not tomorrow but right now today?
clothe the naked; feed the hungry; welcome strangers
come on, get up and open your eyes

so would i give up:
pillows and cable, clothing and candy,
if a girl could have some more to eat?
would i lay down:
making all this money, just to have my milk and honey,
if my fellow man could get the chance to hear about the King?

there is plenty on this earth to suit our needs
but there will never ever be enough to satisfy our greed
weigh this heavy on me now until i can hardly breathe
love through me

help us see, our eyes are weak, help us please
love through me


its simply beautiful. I can't express how I feel when I listen to this song. I think, "Yes! Yes! This is what I want! This is how I want to live!" I really want to sing it.
SO go check it out. Check it out on youtube, close your eyes, and listen to the words of the song. Here's one video, its not the greatest, but its pretty good. It'll do.

I think we should all ask ourselves how we want to live. What we want to do with our lives, and how we can show God's love through us.
