Thanks, alaiyo, for positively ruining a potentially productive time at the library--now I'm stuck picking only seven favorite songs!

1. Of Minor Prophets and their Prostitute Wives (Pedro the Lion)--though not very musically complex, this song hits me every time with the pursuing grace of my Father.

2. Separate Ways (Journey)--because it is so much fun to bang out on the drums

3. What Wondrous Love is This

4. God Thou Art Love (Craig Courtney arraingment)--both because it comes from a Robert Browning poem, and because it made me cry every time I sang it for chorale. Abundant joy in the love of the Father, and yet a recognition that all is not well on this earth.

5. Will you still love me? (Chicago)--mainly because I'm sappy and I'm getting married soon.

6. Don't Dream it's Over (Sixpence None the Richer)--because this is the song that my then-husband and I will be walking down the aisle to after we are married; what can I say, my mind revolves around the wedding these days.

7. The Blitz (from the Narnia Soundtrack)--because it has a violin sequence that I just love; and because I can't think of a really good 7th choice.


I swear I'll post something really thoughtful and deep soon--don't worry.
