joking around with lyrics


For the last 5 or 6 days, tine and I have been singing songs to bob. Not just singing songs to him, but singing songs about him. Basically just getting his name and an adjective to describe him and placing them in songs that we already know. It started off at the beach when we has coming out of the water. Tine and I started to laugh at his total 'surfer dude' appearance and commented on the way that with a bit of working out he could be the number one model for O'neil etc. Anywhoooo, we started singing stuff like 'oh bob, i wana be with you' and stuff and brooks joined in so we all ended up laughing. but this thing kept going on and on saturday we changed the lyrics of the song 'our God is an awesome God' and stayed singing all afternoon. This really has no point when it comes to leading a Christian life apart from knowing Christian songs and replacing words to joke around with bob, but I realised how powerful lyrics really are. We sang that song the sunday before after d-group mass and last saturday during a short time of ministry and naturally I started smiling like a cheshire cat. If you sing it with complete meaning, you just feel so warm inside and personally i feel like I'm going to burst! 'Awesome'. Such a meaningful word and we use it in a song which many people just sing along to as a praise song. If only we could really understand how incredibly awesome God is.
