Ocean Wide



Look outside
It's already light and the stars ran away with the night
Things we're said, words that we'll try forget,
it's so hard to admit I know we've made mistakes
I see through all the tears but that's what got us here

If love is an ocean wide
We'll swim in the tears we cry
They'll see us through to the other side
We're gonna make it
When love is a raging sea
You can hold on to me
We'll find a way tonight
Love is an ocean wide

I'll stay right here
It's where I'll always belong
Tied with your arms
Days like this, I wish the sun wouldn't set
I don't want to forget
What made us feel this way
You see through all my fears
And that's what got us here

If love is an ocean wide
We'll swim in the tears we cry
They'll see us through to the other side
We're gonna make it
When love is a raging sea
You can hold on to me
We'll find a way tonight
Love is an ocean wide


Love is an ocean wide enough to forget
Even when we think we can't

A Lot of Talk About the Tea Party Racial Make-up

This entry has nothing to do with the Tea Party. The only relation with the Tea Party is with the apparent racial make-up that some in the news medias have pointed out about those in the Tea Party rallies. Most of the news medias tell us that the Tea Party is made up mainly of white right-winger Christian Republicans. This particular group makes up about 85% of the Tea Party. So many in the news medias have pointed out the racial issue in the Tea Party - whether there is a sublime racial issue. Now, this should be a wakeup call for many in the ELCA. If the Tea Party is 85% white, which are numbers that the ELCA can only hope for, particularly with their 97% white presence. The ELCA is more white than the Republican party and more white than the Tea Party. In all honesty, the ELCA is more white than most town in this country. The only real whitopia one can find in this country.

Lutherans you're on notice!

Your Grace Still Amazes Me


My faithful Father, enduring Friend
Your tender mercy’s like a river with no end
It overwhelms me, covers my sin
Each time I come into Your presence
I stand in wonder once again

CHORUS:
Your grace still amazes me
Your love is still a mystery
Each day I fall on my knees
Your grace still amazes me
‘Cause Your grace still amazes me

Oh, patient Saviour, You make me whole
You are the Author and the Healer of my soul
What can I give You, Lord, what can I say
I know there’s no way to repay You
Only to offer You my praise

It’s deeper, it’s wider
It’s stronger, it’s higher
It’s deeper it’s wider
It’s stronger, it’s higher
