Come Alive

WOW - I listened to this the entire time I was mowing the grass today. I'm a Foo Fan and have had this CD for a long while but never really caught the lyrics of this song until today!!

"You saved me the day You came Alive" How many of us have layed there in the dark with our eyes closed just waiting to be saved from our selves and just feel alive. Life can sometime seem "monochrome and monotoned." We are meant to live life to the fullest. Think about the spiritual implications of this...we find life when we die to ourselves and are given new life through the power and love that brought Christ back from the dead. Are you stuck in the dark, sterile and desperate. Close your eyes and find rest in the one who gives life. I pray you come alive!!

Romans 8:10-11

10 And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life[a] because you have been made right with God. 11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.



"Come Alive"

Seems like only yesterday
Life belong to runaways
Nothing here to see, no looking back
Every sound monotone
Every color monochrome
Life begin to fade into the black
Such a simple animal
Sterilized with alcohol
I could hardly feel me anymore

Desperate, meaningless
All filled up with emptiness
Felt like everything was said and done

I lay there in the dark, I close my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive

Still I try to find my way
Spending hours, endin' days
Burning like a flame behind my eyes
Drown in out, drink it in
Crown the king of suffering
Prisoner, slave 'til in the skies
Disappeared the only thing
Bittersweet surrendering

Knew that it was time to say goodbye

I lay there in the dark and I close my eyes
You saved me the day that you came alive
The reason you left me to survive
You saved me the day you came alive

Come Alive [x33]

I lay there in the dark and I close my eyes
You saved me the day that you came alive

Come Alive [x15]

Nothing more to give
I can finally come alive
Your life into me
I can finally breathe
Come alive

I lay there in the dark
Open my eyes
You saved me the day that you came alive

Come Alive [x11]

I really wanted to see them when they came through Nashville, but I missed them. :(
