What If...

This week I started listening to WJTL again which is nice. I normally shift_ from genre to genre every few months, besides the usual random genre sampling. The last shift was from hip hop to techno and now back from techno to Christian music. That seems to be the cycle generally. Even then I still listen to all three throughout the year, its just the focus that tends to shift_. Anyway, I am out of the loop as to what is new in the Christian music scene so WJTL is a good place to get reaquainted. Today on the way to work I heard a song by Nichole Nordeman called "What If". I don't have much to say about it as it speaks for itself, but I will say that it moved me to tears and still does. So I wanted to share it as it applies so much to the fights that have been taking place of late, both in and out of me. Hope Nichole doesn't mind. (^_^)

Lyrics:
What if you’re right?
And he was just another nice guy
What if you’re right?
What if it’s true?
They say the cross will only make a fool of you
And what if it’s true?

What if he takes his palace in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then?

(Chours)
But what if you’re wrong?
What if there’s more?
What if there’s hope you never dreamed of hoping for?
What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He’s more than enough?
What if it’s love?

What if you dig, What if you dig
Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends
What if you dig?
What if you findA thousand more unanswered questions inside
That’s all you find

What if you pick apart the logic
And begin to poke the holes
What if the crown of thorns is no more
Then folklore that must be told and retold

(Chours)
You’ve been running as fast as you can
You’ve been looking for a place you can land so long
But what if you’re wrong?
What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He’s more than enough?
What if it’s love?
