I feel really dumb, but this was a nice surprise...

You know sometimes you just kind of get lost in your own little world. You don't take the time to stop and see the beauty of God's world. And you don't stop even a little while to listen to the words of a song. I usually listen to KSBJ (contemporary Christian). However, my roots are still in country music. I especially love the Texas singers like Roger Crager, Robert Earl Keen, Gary P. Nunn, and Pat Green. The other day I was listening to the radio and Pat Green's song "Wave on Wave" came on the radio. I have always loved this song. The tempo is very upbeat. Music is my solace, and a good beat will make me want to move. Anyway, I digress....LOL.

Have you ever really listened to the words to "Wave on Wave"? I mean, really listened? I didn't think so. Neither had I. It could very well be a song about God. Read below (and feel free to sing or hum along in your head -- c'mon, you know you want to - LOL).

Mile upon mile got no direction,
We're all playing the same game.
We're all looking for redemption,
Just afraid to say the name.

So caught up now in pretending,
That what we're seekin' is the truth.
I'm just looking for a happy ending,
All I'm looking for is you.

You came upon me wave on wave,
You're the reason I'm still here, yeah
Am I the one you were sent to save?
You came upon me wave on wave.

I wondered out into the water,
And I thought that I might drown.
I dunno what I was after,
I just know I was going down.

That's when you found me,
I'm not afraid anymore.
You said"You know I always had you baby,
Just waitin for you to find what you were looking for."

You came upon me wave on wave,
You're the reason I'm still here.
Am I the one you were sent to save,
When you came upon me wave on wave.

Wave on wave.
Wave on wave.

And you came upon me wave on wave,
You're the reason I'm still here.
Am I the one you were sent to save,
when you came upon me wave on wave.

The clouds broke and the angels cried,
You ain't gotta walk alone,
That's why he put me in your way,
And you came upon me wave on wave.



I'm sure when Pat Green sings it in concert, he's singing it for the general audience and it isn't really a "God Thang" LOL. But it will forever be changed for me.....because I took a minute to really listen.

Until later....
