A Sunday evening song
I have posted about Thad Cockrell once upon a time here, over two years ago, and ever since his album, To Be Loved, has been on almost constant repeat in my car as I drive around the city. Every time I think of changing it I say to myself, 'but I just like this one', so it goes around again.
He's a Christian singer of sorts, but it's not your average Christian music, and each track isn't necessarily Christian. That said, it ends with the title track called Oh To Be Loved, which is fairly straightforward. It's a little slow, and you might wonder if I should go back to Tamworth as it's a little heartbreak country, but I do like it. I couldn't find a decent youtube of it, but you can listen here. These are the words:
Oh to be loved by Jesus
Oh to be loved by Him
Oh to have joy and peace within
Oh to be loved by Him
He knows the names of my sorrows
He knows the names of my fears
Why should I let them bother me
For I know he is near
Oh to be loved by Jesus
Oh to be loved by Him
Oh to have joy and peace within
Oh to be loved by Him
Mmmmmm...
And if no other will love me
In this life I roam
There'd be no love I would long for
I know I am His own
Oh to be loved by Jesus
Oh to be loved by Jesus
Oh to be loved by Jesus
I like those. And tell me this isn't good driving music:
