LibriVox

I love to read, but I find it hard to carve out the time on a regular basis. However, I have about an hour a day which I spend commuting to and from work. I therefore use this time to catch up on podcasts and audio books. If you like the idea of listening to great works of Christian literature but don’t want to incur the cost of buying these audio books, I would invite you to check out LibriVox, where all the books are free…

For those of you who have little kids, I think this is a really great way to talk with them about some of the things currently happening in the United States.

Music Monday: I just want peace

I’ve been listening to more Joe Zambon recently. This one of my current favouries, “I just want peace”:

Cause I woke up, in the city
and I woke up, my mouth dry
because I woke up, to my living

Good Lord, I’ve been dead this whole time
Cause the sunrise, did in me nothing
Cause I’ve laid in bed every day I knew
And I realised that I’m not living
unless Lord I rise with You

And I don’t want money
nor all the world, honey
Cause I see it as nothing now to me
Cause the world You wanted
gave you nothing of what you need
And I’ll trade it all
If I could just find peace

And I’ve tried to win the affection
from people who have never cared for me
Cause I thought they were what I needed
but they’re just as damn lost as me

so I marry countless lovers
whom I hope would fill the well that had run dry
but I’ll trade all for Your promise
a new life that wells up inside

And I don’t want money
nor all the world, honey
Cause I see it as nothing now to me
Cause the world you wanted
gave you nothing of what you need
And I’ll trade it all
If I could just find peace
all I want is to find peace
(more than the riches)
all I want is to find peace
(more than fine linen)
all I want is to find peace
(more than my addiction)

Cause I see it as nothing now to me
Cause the world you wanted
gave you nothing of what you need
And I’ll trade it all
If I could just find peace
