kinda like batman, but with a wife and 3 kids

I just discovered the Newsboys’ Thrive CD, and I am really loving it.

“Live in Stereo”, “Million Pieces (Kissin’ Your Cares Goodbye)”, “Rescue”, and “Cornelius” are absolutely brilliant, and have kept me rocking, smiling, and singing along on my drive to/from work for the last couple of days. I heartily recommend this CD to everyone, and will have to look into buying some more Newsboys CD’s now.

I think my favorite song lyrically is “Live in Stereo”….

This field guide’s
Got no soul
Digging for the sacred
In a man-made hole

The soil gets harder
The shovel won’t behave
I just dug myself
Into a six foot grave

I need a new dimension
Got to Supersize
A Jacobean ladder
To a parallel prize

The walk’s by faith
The sight lines lie
How’m I gonna tag along
With one tin ear
And one glass eye
Well I…

Chorus:
I can’t get there from here
When every sense is in mono
Walk by faith, you appear
I wanna live in stereo

I can’t get there from here
Without a God-directed go
Walk by faith, you appear
I gotta live in stereo.

I quit, I fold, I’m done
Trying to scale Everest
Sherpa-less
Ain’t fun

The best laid plans
Are in my other pants
The base camp’s buried
In an avalanche

I need a new dimension
Got to Supersize
A Jacobean ladder
To a parallel prize

The walk’s by faith
The lone wolf dies
But how’m I gonna follow you
With blue man ears
And snow blind eyes?
Well I…

… out of which “the best laid plans are in my other pants” is my favorite, I think. =;)

Good CD!! Go get it!!
