Ready for the first "lyrics" of the theme'd post? After completing my "birth day", people have been asking "how was it.." I don't really know how to answer that question.. It was a grown up birthday.. No party, no cake (we did a joint family birthday this year in Feb), lotsa rain, working all day.. it just was ;)
but -in "being"- it was fine/good/not bad :) I realized tho, that instead of saying "fine/good/not bad", I should be responding, "My day was..
Blessed, for my heart is found in thankfulness,
takin' in these mercies
Blessed, oh yes i have the way
for my heart is found in thankfulness
givin' me new mercies

(for the whole song, see the lyrics in the description under the video)
and after harping on lyrics and meaning in the past few posts, I will say:
I'm a linguistic nerd, a sucker for rap/clever-double-meaning lyrics in a poetic way..
and the irony of the unexpected = Asian's rapping with Spanish lyrics..
I'm a fan of the multi-lingual-ness of the song too..
and the story-like quality of the way the song builds..
and the direct biblical references/Christian culture things
(reminds me of theologically sound stuff like Lecrae)
and the salsa/reggae beat..
and.. and.. just enjoy! :)
Soli Deo Gloria
:D
