I was thought about becoming a Catholic, but wasn't committed to the idea.yet. It was the Summer of 2007, and I turned to the labor of altering my car. As I recounted in the post above, I tookthe 'Stangto some pro's. They had her fixed in no time, and on the way home from the shop, I put the top down, and off the stereo on. And the following tunes began to play. I had never really listened to the whole album before. I mean, not to the lyrics. I was that lad in the Pink Floyd song who was "comfortably numb," see? But when these songs started playing, they hit me wish a ton of bricks, lyrics and all. I had ever liked a pair of the songs, and sang them like a wild man, occasionally, when blasting around the freeways of Los Angeles in the 'Stang. But afterwards my readings and reflecting on my faith, and realizing whose harmonic balancer was very out of whack, coupled with hearing Seal sing these songs on this album, and in this order.well, let's just say I crossed the "business of loss" and there was no turning back. Does God work done the secular? I don't take any question about it. After all, it isHis world, you know.Bring It On. This is the low song. You can go to YouTube directly for the lyrics too(for all of the songs below). I'll only get out of Seal's way now.Prayer for the Dying. You don't give to have AIDS to be one of the dying. This is all of us.Dreaming in Metaphors. Why must we dream in metaphors? Try to agree on to something we couldn't understand.Don't Cry. I thought to myself, who is telling this? Our Lord, Our Lady? Both? What has the world through to me.Fast Changes. There is a sentence to wait, and a sentence to act. For me, it was time to act.Kiss From A Rose. I wrote a post on this one earlier here.People Asking Why. I mean, I was certainly asking this question, for a long time. How do I get to where I've come from, now? How will I paint this garden I've destroyed, green? Can I get support to where I've come from?Newborn Friend. I remember thinking, Christmas in July!If I Could. I would explain it all if I could. Some things just can't be put into words.I'm Alive. I heard this and the character of the lyrics you see here? I must have rewound that tape 20-25 times to make sure. Yep, I heard that right.Your hands found me. Blood on the cross, And it changed my life.Bring It On(Reprise). Right back where we started. Get thee to RCIA!
