Hey everyone! It’s Monday again and time to share some tunes. This might be the most somber song I have ever posted as a Monday post. But, it’s an important issue. We all need to evaluate the health of our own marriages on a regular basis.
My church has been in the middle of a series about creating margin in our lives. Yesterday, the message was about creating margin in our relationships. We watched this powerful video from Casting Crowns.
Here’s a portion of the lyrics:
It’s a slow fade when you give yourself away
It’s a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It’s a slow fade, it’s a slow fade
Sin often happens in our lives because we have not created distance between the potential sin and us. Temptations are out there. However, are we standing far enough away from temptation in order to make the wise choice when temptation occurs?
Where might you need to add margin in your life to protect your relationships?
Now, it’s your turn. What song has been on your heart lately? I want to hear it! And, perhaps, it will speak to another person’s heart today too.
Lincoln Brewsters, "you are amazing" is really wieghing down on me…sooo good…
That's a great song, Arny. What great lyrics. I put the link here for others to enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3gbJGByIOE
This is a great video! Ive been loving the praise and worship songs by Travis Cottrell based on the Psalms lately!
I am loving the song Courageous by Casting Crowns:

I love Slow Fade by them as well. 🙂
Kelli, I know the name but am not familiar with his songs. Will need to check him out.
Jenifer, yes, another great song by them!
Eileen, I haven't heard that song for a while. I wasn't going to watch the video since I am familiar with the song, but I felt like I should watch it. I had forgotten how powerful that song is!
Let's continue the Casting Crowns theme 🙂 I love their new one (no official video yet) called Come to the Well. It releases on my birthday – 10/18

Lisa, VERY nice! What a nice birthday gift. 😉 Thanks for sharing this.
Love Casting Crowns, that's a great song! Okay, this is an old one, but I love it still, Sanctus Real, "I'm Not Alright"…

Heidi, I love Sanctus Real and the words to that song are so powerful.
"I'm not alright, I'm broken inside, broken inside
And all I go through, it leads me to You, it leads me to You
Burn away the pride
Bring me to my weakness
'til everything I hide behind is gone
And when I'm open wide with nothing left to cling to
Only You are there to lead me on."
Thanks for sharing this!
Grace Flows Down by Christy Nockels has been on repeat today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBPNdTowJuc
Great songs this week! Going back to Travis Cottrell- I love his rendition of In Christ Alone…LOVE it!
Amy, "grace flows down and covers me" beautiful
Allison, one of my favorite songs. So many artists do such a good job with that song! Loved his version
We sang the John Waller song "While I'm Waiting" last Sunday, and the lyrics really spoke to me…
