Salt Life

Things

Sanctus Real's Fight the Tide album, released in June 2004, has some amazing songs on it. This, in my opinion, is one of the greatest christian bands out there today and it seems everything they produce brings another "favorite" for me. Things Like You is one of my top five.

Below you'll find the lyrics. Check them out, as I think they are appropriate for the economic times we find ourselves in as a nation and comforting to be reminded of the realities of "Loving Things". The last verse is my favorite of this favorite song of mine:)

By the way...Tenth Avenue North, a local and beloved band for many Christ Fellowship members, recently toured with them!

So here you go...

Loving things like you has wrecked my life, made me cry
Loving things like you has made me lose my mind
And I can't figure out why I've been hanging on
To all these things I've tried to leave behind me for so long

And I think it's time to find a better way to live my life
Than loving all those things that keep me wrapped so tight

Everyone wants everyone else's eveything
Some time's the more we have the less we really gain
I'm tired of life and all that money has to buy
Get out of my heart, out of my mind, leaving you behind

Loving things like you has left me bruised, black and blue
Loving things like you has made me so confused
And I can't figure out what I've been waiting on
God I can't be living for things I know are wrong

Now I think it's time to write a better chapter in my life
Leaving all those things that keep me wrapped so tight

Why are we obsessed with possessions here on earth?
Go and take a look at the flowers and the birds
God is always taking care of nature's every need
And how much more important in The Father's eyes are we?
I said, how much more important in The Father's eyes are we?
He sees everything
