One Man
From one of my favorite Lori McKenna songs, One Man:
One man, one town is all I need
A simple plan to guide me
Through the simple life I lead
I have seen the ocean and I have seen the sky
I do not need a big house or the ability to fly… And I will be an old woman
Happy to have spent my whole life with one man
The guitar on this song is beautiful. Listen to it free on imeem.

Let Them Be Little
They played this song at Finn’s preschool graduation last year but I had pretty much forgotten about it until a friend referenced it on her blog last week. If you’re a mom whose children are growing up too quickly, get the tissues handy before you watch/listen. I fight the tears back pretty good until about the 2 1/2 minute mark, when a boy about the age of Finn is walking away from his mom and the image fades into the image of a grown son. I lose it there every time because someday all too soon it will be that day for me. If I listened to this song everyday I just might do things a little different — expect less from them, enjoy them more and just let them by little.

Who Are We?
“Who are we
That You would be mindful of us
What do You see
That’s worth looking our way”
Who are we?
Who are we?
Very humbling to think about.

“World Spins Madly On”
This video is from the movie “Because I Said So,” which is a very cute movie, if I do say so myself. And I do. As do most movies these days, it has some content I could have done without, but as a whole it tells a cute story. The movie aside, this song from the movie, “World Spins Madly On” by The Weepies is very catch-y and has quickly become one of my favorites.

Michael W. Smith “You Are Holy”
One of my new favorite praise and worship songs. Lyrics at the bottom so you can sing along.
You are holy (You are holy)
You are mighty (You are mighty)
You are worthy (You are worthy)
Worthy of praise (Worthy of praise)
I will follow (I will follow)
I will listen (I will listen)
I will love you (I will love you)
All of my days (All of my days)
(Guys)
I will sing to
And worship
The King who is worthy
I will love and adore Him
And I will bow down before Him
And I will sing to and worship the King who is worthy
And I will love and adore him
And I will bow down before Him
(Girls)
You are Lord of Lords
You are King of Kings
You are Mighty God
Lord of everything
You’re Emmanuel
You’re the great “I AM”
You’re the Prince of Peace
Who is the Lamb
You’re the living God
You’re my saving grace
You will reign forever
You are ancient of days
You’re the Alpha, Omega, Beginning and End
You’re my Savior, Messiah, Redeemer, and friend
(Both:)
You’re my Prince of Peace and I will live my life for you.

Don’t wanna go through the motions
My new favorite song is “The Motions” by Matthew West. It’s one of several songs that have really spoken to me lately. (I’ll add some others over the next few days.)
There’s no actual music video for “The Motions,” but you can go to the Matthew West web site and listen.
The chorus is my favorite:
I don’t wanna go through the motions
I don’t wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don’t wanna spend my whole life asking,
“What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?”
