Music That Matters: Alive

This Week's Song of the Day (yes I meant that) is "Alive" by well known and respected Christian artist, Rebecca St. James. It's a song about renewal, about letting go of what we think will make us happy (car stereos, iPods, food, recognition, etc) and allowing God to re-energize us with the Holy Spirit!

Here's what RSJ said on her website about the song:

Alive
by Rebecca St. James
Album - If I Had One Cance To Tell You Something

I always wanted to be free
Til I was bound and then
I always wanted my own way
Til I saw that I find my life when
I lose it

You make me come alive
You make me come alive
I found the secret
Its only when I let go of what I want in this life
You make me come alive

I used to think that me, myself and I were all that mattered
But You've shown me all this world can give
Cannot compare to the joy that comes from
Giving away

And as I follow after You
Now I need toLeave my past, myself behind
This I will do

I always wanted to be free
Til I was bound and then
I always wanted my own way
Til I saw YouTil I saw You
