So Long Self, Mercy Me

Here lately I have been listening to more contemperary music,perhaps it's because I'm getting older.

But this song has a good message,about putting self away.

Yep... it is a good song.

Hey Scott... if you want to hear some songs with some good meaning to them you can also listen to Nichole Nordeman.

Try some of her songs like "River God", "Wide Eyed", "Burnin'" etc.

I'll post a few of her songs...

MercyMe is one of my favorites. Scott, you should look up Casting Crowns--they have some great songs, too.

You bet!!!!

I have LONG hailed the greatness of this song it is
absolutely THE BEST for teaching about leaving SELF
behind.., and it is soo cute, too!

My husband and I LOVED THE MUSIC VIDEO sooo much! It is
a few years old now, but still VERY pertinent, it is a timeless
priceless message that goes to the very roots of our purpose
in being here., serving GOD not SELF., I WISH that more people
would "get this" message, it'd be a whole lot easier for their
spiritual growth.

I think of this song a lot, and sing it a lot, during the days when
we are especially stressed out., and I even use it to illustrate
to others, about what it IS to call Him LORD and live like it!

MercyMe remains one of our FAVORITE contemporary music groups,
along with are other fav's the Newsboys, DcTalks and Jars of Clay.

MercyMe guys are sincere!
