Alive and Kicking

Wednesday, 18th July 2007

In an earlier blog entry, I had mentioned what my all-time Top 10 Christian rock/pop songs are.
Just to recap, they are:
01. Jesus Freak - DC Talk
02. Take Me To Your Leader - Newsboys
03. More Sold Out - Whiteheart
04. I Am On The Rock - Petra
05. (Never Gonna Be As) Big As Jesus -Audio Adrenaline
06. Little Drummer - Jars of Clay
07. To Hell With The Devil - Stryper
08. Original Superman - Pillar
09. All For You - JONAH33
10. Alive - POD

I have already blogged about the songs from #1 to #9, so that leaves #10 to wrap this topic up.

P.O.D. stands for "payable on death", referring to the price that Jesus paid for us by His redemptive work when he died on the cross for our sins. They hail from San Diego, California and their music is classified as Nu Metal.

This particular song "Alive" speaks about the abundant life that a believer has in Christ.

Paul says in 2 Cor 5:17, "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed, the new has come".




Everyday is a new day
I’m thankful for every breath I take
I won’t take it for granted (I won't take it for granted)
So I learn from my mistakes

It’s beyond my control,
sometimes it’s best to let go
Whatever happens in this lifetime
So I trust in love (So I trust in love)
You have given me peace of mind

Chorus:
I, I feel so alive
for the very first time
I can’t deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive
for the very first time
And I think I can fly

Sunshine upon my face (Sunshine upon my face)
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world how I feel inside (tell the world how I feel inside)
Even though it might cost me everything

And now that I know that
it's beyond my control
It's like I can never turn my back away
And now that I’ve seen you (and now that I see you)
I can never look away

As believers, we are alive (and kicking). Amen?
