These aren't my favorite songs...except the last one which has to be top ten for me...but they are songs that describe me from my perspective...my strengths and weaknesses, my faith, my job. Lyric excerpt added in case you don't want a whole song!
Mark Heard: In Spite of Himself
" when they don't understand his concern, and his gestures remain unreturned, he looks at their faces and loves them, and knows its not absurd"
The White Stripes: I'm Finding it Harder to be a Gentleman
"I never said I wouldn't throw my jacket in the mud for you. But my father gave it to me so maybe I should carry you. Then you said, "You almost dropped me." So then I did and I got mud on my shoes."
Benny Hester: When God Ran
"The only time I ever saw Him run was when He ran to me"
The 77's: The Lust, the Flesh, The Eyes and the Pride of Life
"I love when folks look right at me and what I'm doing or have done, and lay it on about how groovy I am, and that I'm looking grand. And every single word makes me think I'll live forever, never knowing that they probably won't remember what they said tomorrow, tomorrow I could be dead."
I'm mostly organizing over adding right now.
