Messy

On Saturday night one of the songs we sang was "Follow You" by Leeland.  Some of the lyrics are:

You lived among the least of these
The weary and the weak
And it would be a tragedy for me to turn away.

All my needs you have supplied.
When i was dead you gave me life.
How could i not give it away so freely?

And i`ll follow you into the homes that are broken.
Follow you into the world.
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy god.
Follow you into the world.

Use my hands use my feet
To make your kingdom come
Through the corners of the earth
Until your work is done
`cause faith without works is dead
And on the cross your blood was shed
So how could i not give it away so freely?

Here is a related (to the message of this song) and a very interesting broadcast I heard on Midday Connection.  Audio Link

My Generation

Air Date January 7, 2010

Summary

Generation “Y” is the generation of tattoos, cell phones, social networking, and iPods. It’s also the generation of authenticity, social justice, racial diversity and community but, Josh Riebock says it’s also the generation of broken homes, school shootings,  and immense performance pressure, just to name a few. On this Midday Connection Josh joins us to talk about how we can bring restoration to this 70 million member group of young people.
