Music and Lyrics

Opposite Way by Leeland

-There is something about the lyrics of this song that are so freeing to me and really encouraged me to pick up and move here to L.A.

Living in the same town
for all these years
Doing the same old things
hanging with the same crowd
and it's starting to get crippling
you never felt in place
and you tell yourself it's all okay
but something's different today
you want to run the opposite way
and it seems like you're locked in a cage
and you need to find a way of escape
when everyone's setting the pace- it's okay to run the opposite way

and the Father sent his Son down
the Light of men
the cross he bore was crippling
rejected in His own town
and they couldn't see the Sun shining
He knelt in the garden and prayed
Father let this cup pass from me
It's not Your will for me to stay
Your will for me is the opposite way

and it seems like He was locked in a cage
and He couldn't find a way of escape
but through the cross He conquered the grave
my Jesus ran the opposite way

Oh, and through the cross He conquered the grave
Oh, He ran the other way
Yeah, through the cross He conquered the grave
So you could run the opposite way

The Journey by Caleb Rowden

-Another good inspirational song, that kicked my butt in gear! It inspired the title to this blog...a.k.a. I stole it because I'm not a lyrical genius. 

I have gotten here because You’re there,

and there’s no getting there without You

I have always longed to be wherever You will lead,

and I will follow You forever through the journey

Sunshine upon my face, the raindrops have gone away

It feels so good to be free

With You I’ve found a way, to overcome all the things

That hold me down, that keep me down away from You

I have gotten here because You’re there,

and there’s no getting there without You

I have always longed to be wherever You will lead,

and I will follow You forever through the journey

Sometimes I lose sight of everything that You have brought me through

Of everything You’ve done for me

How could I have been so blind to not see all the plans

that You had for me, that You have for me

And now I see
