Longing

Alright, welcome to JJ's little song corner again. :)

Hi Kids...!! JJ Gor Gor is here to teach you one of my little songs... Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh-huh-huh... (said in Barney voice)

Well, our little band is going through a little rehash here but we're practising and exploring and experimenting with our originals real hard like... once a week... *ahem... so we can do a recording by the end of the year. Sorry, don't expect your friendly neighbourhood, radio bubblegum pop songs from the album. Some of the stuff inside is gonna be real alternative so do exercise discretion while listening to them. We do have some live sessions going on where we use Ben's trusty mp3 players to record them. Will post it up on our band website once I have them. Right now, the band website is still pretty bare so it'll be useless if I post the URL here. :)

but anyway, since I won't be posting up anything so soon, I thought I'd just post the lyrics here as a form of poetry expression. After all, songs are poetry that has a melody added to them.

So here's a song entitled,

LONGING

How many lives can we live?
How many hearts can we give?
How many sunrise You'll greet me each day?
How many sunsets we'll see?

I need you here in my life
I never wanted to fight
I wish that I could just throw it all down
and find myself in your arms

Pre-Chorus:

It is love... that has called me to you every day...
It is love... and I know that you want me to stay

We'll take walk by the sea
I'll tell you all my heart needs
I'm waiting for you to sweep me away
In twilight's gentle embrace

So now I'm down on my knees
Here with you how my heart bleeds
Like rain from heaven to fill me again
Enrapture me with your kiss

Pre-Chorus:

It is love... that has called me to you every day...
It is love... and I know that you want me to stay...

Chorus:

I was meant to... I was meant to... be with You...
I was meant to... I was meant to... be with You...

Well, I wanted the song to talk about the emptiness we all feel from time to time and how this emptiness can only be filled by ONE person. :)

It's a longing we have every day I guess, that's why it's entitled thus...

A longing to be loved, a longing for a better day, a longing for that special moment, a time when all things will be right and beautiful. Don't we all feel it from time to time?

And it's not really a fleshly dissatisfaction or discontentment brough about by greed. It's that feeling you know that somehow, life is better than all these. It's a desire, and a longing for that something better and perfect. It's God's love. :)

this is to all my friends out there, whether you know Him or don't know Him.

I pray you'll find a deeper intimacy with Him each day of your life. :) and be utterly satisfied and contented in His presence. :)
