Quotes of the Day/More MercyMe
I am really enjoying that MercyMe CD: "Coming Up To Breathe" by MercyMe.
Some of my favorite parts seem to be improvised bits at the ends of songs, like this at the end of "No More No Less:"
"I hope you stare just long enough to see
The heart that's beating here inside of me
Beyond all of the things you may think you know
I'm just a kid trying to make it home that's it
No more no less
Lord I want to go home
Nothing more nothing less
I just wanna go home
Nothing more nothing less
Oh there's no place like home
Nothing more nothing less
I just wanna go home
Nothing more nothing less"
I love that part.
Half of that isn't even in the printed lyrics.
Then there's this brilliant chorus from "Bring the Rain:"
"Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus bring the rain."
Then the end of the song is a wonderful, extended riff on this line:
"Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty"
