The 1st part of this post will be a song, but that will lead into me talking about a life issue that I'm most passionate about.
Ginny Owens' album "Without Condition" has to be one of my favorite albums ever! btw I use the less commonly used word "album" because I grew up listening to tapes, then CDs, now MP3s..."album" encompasses all formats. Back to "Without Condition." Few albums do I listen to every song it contains, but this is one of those. The lyrics blow me away. Her voice is sublime. And she has edgy, unusual sounds that I think raise this album well above average! On one song, you can just hear the city around you...it is amazing. One of my favorite songs on this album, for many reasons, is "Free." Here are the lyrics:
-----"Free" by Ginny Owens-----
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
Turning molehills into mountains,
Making big deals out of small ones,
Bearing gifts as if they're burdens,
This is how it's been.
Fear of coming out of my shell,
Too many things I can't do too well,
Afraid I'll try real hard and I'll fail -
This is how it's been.
'Till the day you pounded on my heart's door,
And You shouted joyfully,
"You're not a slave anymore.
You're free to dance-
Forget about your two left feet
And you're free to sing-
Even joyful noise is music to Me
and you're free to love,
'Cause I've given you My love,
and it's made you free.
I have set you free."
My mind finds hard to believe
That You became humanity
and changed the course of history,
Because You loved me so.
And my heart cannot understand
Why You'd accept me as I am,
But You say You've always had a plan,
And that's all I need to know.
