Mini-Meme: Next iTunes lyric with spiritual meaning

It’s Friday! Wanna do another meme?

Pay attention to the lyrics on the song you’re now listening to, or start your player on shuffle. What’s the first lyric that grabs your attention due to its spiritual meaning? And why does that one catch your attention today of all days?

Here’s mine:

My every breath is a prayer for you

You know I’m waiting there for you

- Ben Harper, Needed You Tonight

Which reminds me a lot of this prayer by Thomas Merton which is one of my all-time favorites. As I continue to think about incarnation, about living and embodying Christ, and about being intentional in my prayer and my lifestyle, Ben’s words hit home.

Play along! Add comments with yours, or blog your own and link back here.

(Yes, I may be one of the only people on the planet that would find a deep connection between the spirituality expressed by Thomas Merton and Ben Harper. Or I may not.)
