I have long been admirer of Derek Webb and his music. I had some stuff to say here, and even made a presentation to go with one of his songs.

One of his most recent songs, with Caedmon’s Call, was featured the other night on Grey’s Anatomy (not originally their song). I didn’t see the show, but was able to check out the song and I have probably listened to it 30 times since then. I think it’s amazing and thought I’d share it with you.

Here are the lyrics.

how long you have traveled in darkness weeping
no rest in language, no words to speak
but there in the wreckage beneath bricks and bindings
love has come, love has come for you

against the night sky of your waiting
your face is like starlight when he walks in
everything worth keeping comes through dying
love has come, love has come for you

so lift up your heart now, to this unfolding
all that has been broken will be restored
here runs deep waters for all who are thirsty
love has come, love has come for you

ten thousand angels will light your pathway
until the day breaks fully in the East
they will surround you and make your way straight
love has come, love has come for you
love has come, love has come for you

Not really knowing if she would get into it or not, I bought my girlfriend, Maria, the first season if Alias for Christmas.  A few of my friends from back in Ohio have gotten really into the show and every time I have gone home I have watched various episodes with them and got myself hooked.  So, I was hoping I could hook Maria and we could watch them together.  I also sent the first season to Maria’s sister Ingrid and her boyfriend Martin for Christmas hoping to get them hooked as well.  I don’t know about Ingrid and Martin yet, but Maria is way hooked.  We watched a dozed episodes in like a day and a half this weeked.  Told ya! It’s a really great show filled with suspense, surprises, and some great characters.  So, if nothing out there is quite doing it for you lately, do yourself a favor and checkout Alias.

PS – Don’t forget that you might be able to borrow the seasons from your local pubic library or from friends.  It’s not like everyone needs to buy all the seasons, right?  Unless of course you are gonna watch them over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over – Sarah!
