’cause I’d really like to meet her

Standard

So, Husband got me an MP3 player for Christmas.  It’s wonderful, but only [only!] holds around 100 songs.  This has forced me to be very particular as to what makes it onto my hit list.

I’ve noticed a trend, people.

Dear God – Sarah McLachlan
One of Us – Joan Osbourn
Counting Blue Cars – Dishwalla
Hallelujah – Leonard Cohen
Hallelujah – Martin Sexton
God: John Lennon
God: Part II – U2
In the Sun – Joseph Arthur
Spirit in the Sky – Norman Greenbaum

Not necessarily religious songs per se, or even songs that represent my own faith, but songs where the artist mentions their personal opinions/thoughts/beliefs in The Almighty.

Huh.

So what’s your favourite God Song?

About Angela

My name is Angela, but I answer to Ang, Andrea, and Mommy. I am 42 years old, but somehow feel both 26 and 149. Sometimes at the same time. I love Jesus, but hate at least 2/3rds of the humans He created. I consider myself a good wife but a lousy housekeeper. I love being a mother but don’t particularly like children. Quality time and sarcasm are my Love Languages. Yes! You absolutely can drop by, provided you give me 15 minutes to panic-clean and put on pants. I know that 1 in every 33 births result in multiples. I know that gap narrows to 1 in 12 for subsequent pregnancies. I know this is why my tubes are cut, burned, and tied. Not today, Satan. I can recite the entire script of The Princess Bride, (including accents) and believe that the meaning of life is contained within. Birth stories, theDodo.com, and Soldiers-returning-home videos make me happy-ugly-cry. Being interrupted, a poorly made bed, and that Christmas Shoes song make me want to punch somebody. I’m an extrovert with crushing social anxiety. To deal with stress, I crack jokes. They will be awkward and make the situation 10x worse. I can whistle and hum at the same time, but I cannot touch my toes. I look grand in orange, red, and pink, but rubbish in yellow and blue. I am a writer. I have a dog named Henri. I have a brother named Adam. They are not related. I am slightly neurotic. No I’m not. Yes I am.

      It’s one of those songs I’ve sung without knowing what the heck I was saying.

      Good thing is wasn’t something blasphemous.
