Surprised by the radio !

Yep . . . You read correctly, I actually listen to the radio! . . . Only at work to pretend that I'm not there!!!
I was listening to Radio one this afternoon, and heard the new Daniel Beddingfield single. now, Im not the biggest fan in the world, but the words blew me away.
Its this artist along with the likes of Switchfoot, that are bringing the worship of God to a secular audience on their terms, in an enviroment that is not alien to them.
I believe that this is the way forwards in evangelising to people, using talents and gifts that have been given to us by God to reach out to the lost.
Here is the Daniel Beddingfield lyrics . . . .
THE WAY
To love somebody like you
Would take the rest of my life
This is my revelation
I feel my heart falling off
And give my conscience a knife
This is my reservation
This is the way of the moon
Waxing and wane
Fro-ing and to
This is the way of the sun
At the end of the day
Night always comes
This is the way of my youth
Risking it all
Pursuing the truth
This is the way of the world
My love is changing
I really meant what I said
All of it wasn't a lie
You were the one I wanted
But in the new light of day
Affection started to die
Our house of love was haunted
This is the way of the rains
Evaporate up and falling down
This is the way of her smile
It burns in her eyes but lasts for a while
This is the way of the Earth
The cycle of life
Of dying and birth
This is the way of my heart
My love is changing
Season changes
My life changes
Memory changes
My love changes
System changes
My world changes
Jesus, Jesus never changes
Hearing "Jesus never changes!" blasting out on national radio sent shivers down my spine.
Peace x
