#SLS 5/17/20 – 180

8 Comments

song-lyric-sunday

This week Jim has given us the prompt of finding a song that includes a number for #SLS.

In many of my other posts I have written about my strong Catholic Faith along with many other aspects of my personal life. Today I have chosen a song by Jordan Feliz called “180”.  It is song about an individual asking for God to assist him in doing a 180 degree turnaround in their life and returning to remain in their faith.

This happens a lot to individuals like myself who suffer from the disease of alcoholism or any other addiction problems. But in order for a person to truly make that 180 degree turnaround they must truly do the work and have faith in a Higher Power that will be there through the good and the bad. I have truly turned my will back over to my Higher Power whom I choose to call God and I am happy that the 180 degree turnaround is happening in me and I am truly loving life and myself today.

That’s what’s in My Rattled Cage, thanks for stopping by!!

Lyrics
Father, can You hear me now?
I’m feeling like I’ve let You down
I’ve lost the strength to turn myself around
I really hope You hear me now
How’d I get so far away?
What if I outrun Your grace?
Can You replace these broken yesterdays?
And promise me I’m not too late
Call me home, I want to be Your own
I’m running desperately into Your arms where I belong
And I know Your love can turn this heart
A hundred and eighty degrees to bring me back to where You are
Tell me I am welcomed in
Show me mercy doesn’t end
Wash these muddy stains that marked my skin
And tell me I can start again
Call me home, I want to be Your own
I’m running desperately into Your arms where I belong
And I know Your love can turn this heart
A hundred and eighty degrees to bring me back to where You are
I can barely believe it
You’re racing to meet me
Your eyes filled with healing, oh
Restoring, redeeming
Forgiving, receiving
This is my beginning, oh
Call me home, I want to be Your own
I’m running desperately into Your arms where I belong (I belong)
And I know Your love can turn this heart
A hundred and eighty degrees to bring me back to where You are
I’m running desperately, ooh
A hundred and eighty degrees, I’m back to where You are
A hundred and eighty degrees

#AtoZChallenge2020 – An “R” Four Fer

Leave a comment

R2020

We have the letter “R” today for the #AtoZChallenge2020. As I am moving through my Apple Music playlist, I find that I have almost 50 songs that start with “R”. So today I am going to have a “R” Four Fer. Each of these holds a definite place in my heart because of their messages and the way they have touched me throughout my many battles through relapse and recovery.

I have chosen Jordan Feliz’s The River because whenever I am in a weird space I will head to the San Antonio River,  which I live very close to the Mission Reach of the river, with my four legged babies and we will get in and I can sit and just pray and I always feel at peace. I have also chosen two songs by Jeremy Camp Revive Me and Restored. Revive Me is a song that reminds that every day I can ask my Higher Power whom I choose to call God to revive me of my serenity and to help stay clean and sober on a daily basis. Restored is a reminder that asking God to revive me I can feel that wonderful spirit of serenity and know that all will be well in the world.

The final song in the four fer is Lauren Daigle’s  Remember is a constant reminder that my God has always been faithful to me even when I thought he had left my side!!! You can find the lyrics by clicking on the song title. That’s what’s in  My Rattled Cage, thanks for stopping by.

#AtoZChallenge – “M”

I am behind this week and that is okay because I am okay with playing catch up on my posts for a challenge. This week is Holy Week and I will have to miss Mass for the majority  of it because on today 4/17 I am having the remainder of my teeth removed to make room for some brand new pearly whites in the form of full dentures. I am okay with missing the most important Masses this week because I know my God has MERCY!!!! I recently discovered a new artist for my catalog of music, Anthony Evans. Please enjoy the video for his song Mercy Tree.

 

I am so blessed during this Holy Week that in every time of trouble, I just need to run to My Father’s Arms!!!  Jeremy Camp – My Father’s Arms

 

Another one of my favorite new artists is Jordan Feliz and continuing with my theme for today,- I know that I will always be able to seek shelter in My Shelter by Jordan Feliz!!!

That’s what’s in “My Rattled Cage”, thanks for stopping by!!!

Love Is In Da Blog 17 ~ A Love Song from 2019 – “Changed”

1 Comment

Full disclosure – I do not listen to the radio. I get all of my music on iHeartRadio and all my stations are either country or contemporary Christian. I often will not hear a song until it is released onto iHeartRadio even if the song came out in  the previous year. My song today did hit the airwaves in mid 2018 but I just recently heard it. It is Jordan Feliz’s “Changed”.

This song is a constant reminder that through the love and grace of God,the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous and the unending love of Cruz, my family and friends – I am CHANGED and can remain so!!!

For your viewing pleasure a LIVE performance!

LYRICS

Let me tell you, oh my friends
About this joy I’m living in
Let me take the mic, I wanna testify
How I was dead, and then I came to life
No more living in the dark of night, now everything’s all right

I’ve been cha-a-anged
I’ve been saved
Brand new day, I’ve been changed
I’ve been changed
Tell me why would I turn back now
There’s no end to the love I’ve found
Future’s bright, and there ain’t no doubt
I’ve been changed, I’ve been changed

All my heartbreak fades away
Like a book when you turn the page
Let me take the mic, I wanna testify
How I was dead, and then I came to life
No more living in the dark of night, now everything’s all right

Ooh, ooh
I’ve been changed, he-ah

I put my hands in the air ‘cause I know You’re there
(Your love did something magical)
I put my hands in the air ‘cause You heard my prayer
(A transformation radical)
I put my hands in the air ‘cause I know You’re there
(I know it’s supernatural)
I put my hands in the air ‘cause You heard my prayer
