drop this in your spirit

My close friends know that I love gospel music. I was really hurt when 92.1 was taken away from Houston because I loved listening to gospel all day. I am the kind of person who has a song in their head 24/7. That is why I like gospel because it is positive and uplifting. It's fun to focus on those lyrics. Now I am by no means a super saint. I love R&B and rap as much as the next person. But sometimes you just don't want to focus on "watching the throne." You know what I mean?

When I can't sleep at night, which is often, I turn my Richard Smallwood or Walter Hawkins station on through Pandora. Last nite this wonderful song came on and it's been in my head ALL day. I wanted to share it with you. I pray someone's spirit is lifted today. Love you all.

Here is the song and the lyrics. Read, listen, receive what is being said and enjoy!
Calling My Name

How many times do I go against Your will
then You forgive me
but yet I still turn around and do the things
the things I shouldn't do
cuz I belong to You
and I know You will come through
Lord I know I take advantage of Your grace
here in this christian race
but yet I still hear You calling my name

how many times would it take for me to learn
that it's only in Your will that I'll ever earn
I'll ever earn my life's reward
the honor due to me
life eternally riches in glory
Lord I know I know I don't belong
with You cuz I've done wrong
oh oh but yet I still hear You calling my name
yeah
How many times do I go against Your will
then You forgive me
but yet I still turn around and do the things
the things I shouldn't do
cuz I belong to You
and I know You will come through
Lord I know I take advantage of Your grace
here in this christian race
but yet I still hear You calling my name

You're calling my name to come into Your arms
to be safe from fear and harm
knowing this but I still choose to go my way
then You still say, You say that I am He
who will supply your every need
oh Lord I've sinned but You're still calling my name

oh Lord I've sinned but You're still calling my name
