Hey, my parents saw Randy Newman in concert last night. Cool, huh?

My current favorite Bill Mallonee/VOL song:


Weight Of Glory

no discouragement we know
can scrape the unbelief out of these weary bones
shoulder grace and glory's weight
in whatever form she takes

no saints to be found in here
only debtors, bankrupt screw-ups, broken bested dearly
beloved we are gathered near and far
and wishing hard upon a star

you appear and i shine
it's coming hard from somewhere else
when the past is all in shadows
oh to finally be yourself

guard your heart never let her fade
mark the changing winds
and trace the lines upon the face of age

you appear and i shine
it's coming hard from somewhere else
when the past is all in shadows
oh to finally be yourself

used to be, I knew what for
i hardly feel it anymore
