subtle revolution

"There are two kinds of revolutionists, as of most things- a good kind and a bad. The bad revolutionists destroy conventions by appealing to fads- fashions that are newer than conventions. The good do it by appealing to facts that are older than conventions." (G.K. Chesterton)

i celebrate the day

I know that Christmas has passed us by and most people have stopped listening to the holiday tunes by now... But not me! Oh no... Gregg listens to Christmas music all year 'round. Does that make me odd? Perhaps. I just think that it reminds me of Christ's humility (as described in Philippians 2) all throughout the year.

So... I just want to share some song lyrics to a favorite Christmas tune by Relient K.

VERSE 1
And with this Christmas wish is missed
The point I could convey
If only I could find the words to say to let you know
How much You've touched my life
Because, here is where You're finding me
In the exact same place as New Year's Eve
And from a lack of my persistence
We're less than half as close as I wanted to be

CHORUS
And the first time
That you opened Your eyes
did you realize that You would be my Savior?
And with the first breath
That left Your lips
Did You know that it would change the world forever

VERSE 2
And so this Christmas I'll compare
The things I've felt in prior years
To what this midnight made so clear
That you have come to meet me here

BRIDGE
To look back, and think that
This baby would one day save me
In the hope that, you did
That you were born so I might live
To look back, and think that
This baby would one day save me

CHORUS

And I, I celebrate the day
That You were born to die
So I could one day pray for You to save my life
Pray for You to save my life
