I sit in awe and think...

I am listening to Brand New and their song Jesus Christ. This song has totally blown me away the past couple of days. I can not get enough of it. This song really has me sitting and thinking about a lot about my faith and a lot about life. This is the first song in quite some time to do this for me. Here are the lyrics what do you think?

Band: Brand New
Song: Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ that's a pretty face
The kind you'd find on someone that could save
If they don't put me away O' it'll be a miracle

Do you believe you're missing out?
That everything good is happening somewhere else
But with nobody in your bed
The night's hard to get through.
And I will die all aloneAnd when I arrive I won't know anyone.

Well Jesus Christ, I'm alone again.
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
Cause this problem's gonna last
More than the weekend.

Well Jesus Christ I'm not scared to die,
I'm a little bit scared of what comes after.
Do I get the gold chariot,
Do I float through the ceiling?

Do I divide and fall apart?
Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark
And this ship went down in sight of land.
And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands?

(Interlude)

I know you're coming in the night like a thief,
But I've had some time alone to hold my lions at bay
I know you think that I'm someone you can trust,
But I'm scared I'll get scared
and I swear I'll try to nail you back up.
So do you think that we could work out a psalm?
So I'll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try.
I know you're coming for the people like me.
But we all got wood and nails
we try n' tear down hate and factory.
Yeah we all got wood and nails
don't tear down hate n' factory.
Yeah we all got wood and nails
And we sleep inside of this machine.

As I look on a new possible place to play and talk to people about God, this song pretty much sums up the way a lot of us feel.
