Milestones...

My life seems to be marked by milestones each time i experience ...i find these milestones come in the form of the music that I listen during those times...

When I was feeling down, I purchased for myself a Simple Plan album. This album is a sob album...I mean it's like...very sad songs...sung punk version...happy tunes..sad lyrics...

And i identified a lot with it...and i still do.... here are exerpts of some of the songs

6 a.m. The clock is ringing I need to spend an hour snoozing
'Cuz I don't think I'm gonna make it
I punch in I'm still sleeping
Watch the clock, But it's not moving
'Cuz every day is never ending
I need to work I'm always spending

[Chorus:]And I feel likeI'm living the worst day
Over and over again
And I feel like the summer is leaving again
I feel like I'm living the worst day
I feel like you're gone
And every day is the worst day ever
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm taking my time I'm trying to leave the memories of you behind
I'm gonna be fine As soon as I get your picture right out of my mind

Chorus:]I wanna feel the way you make me feel when I'm with you
I wanna be the only hand, you need to hold on to
But everytime I call you don't have time
I guess I'll never get to call you mine

You're nothing at all, I know theres a million reasons why I shouldn't call
nothing to say, could easily make this conversation last all day
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I knowI won't forget you
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare I'm just a kid, I know that its not fair Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is Having more fun than me Tonight...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess I bottle up all this feelings in me...I found refuge and solitude in an album that I bought during that time...UNITED LIVE-More Than Life. Here are some of the songs that spoke to me and help me get through those dark times...

ALWAYS

Did You rise the sun for me?
Or paint a million stars that I might
Know Your majesty?
Is Your voice upon the wind?
Is everything I've known marked
With my maker's fingerprints?
Breathe on me
Let me see Your face
Ever will I seek You

Chorus:
'Cause all You are, is all I want, always
Draw me close in Your arms
Oh God, I wanna be with You

Can I feel You in the rain?
Abandon all I am to have You
Capture me again
Let the earth resound with praise
Can You hear as all creation lives
To glorify one name?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ONE WAY

I lay my life down at your feet
You're the only one i need
I turn to you and you are always there
In troubled times its you i seek
I put you first thats all i need
I humble all i am, All to you

One way
Jesus
You're the only one that i could live for
One Way
Jesus
You're the only one that i could live for
------------------------------------------------------------------
WHERE THE LOVE LAST FOREVER

Your mercy found me,
Upon the broken road,
And lifted me beyond my failing,
Into Your glory,
My sin and shame dissolved,
And now forever Yours I’ll stand.

(Pre-Chorus)In love never to end,To call You more than Lord,Glorious friend.

(Chorus)So I throw my life upon all You are,
‘Cause I know You gave it all for me,
And when all else fades,
My soul will dance with You,
Where the love lasts forever.

(Bridge)And forever I will sing,Lord forever I will sing,Of how You gave Your life away,
Just to save me, Lord You saved me.With You, where the love lasts forever


I hope that this will be an encouragement to those facing the most difficult and darkest of times...seek God, abandon yourself to Him, cry out to Him in your day of sorrow...He will deal with you, He will lift you up, He's our fortress, our strong tower...
