Yesterday, I posted Mark Harper’s altar song to Sweet Marie.
Today I had planned to post “Love Is”. Great song. Then I thought I would post the “Welcome to the Land of Milk and Honey” song.
But then I decided I’d instead post “Say the Words First” because it’s a rare song that makes you change what you’re doing as you listen to it. And “Say the Words First” is that song.
The day after Christmas we were on our way down to my brother’s and became stranded in a 90 minute traffic jam on the interstate. As we sat there, going nowhere, and Marty inquired for the seventh time if I was going to be acting “like this” no matter what (I woke up on the wrong side of the bed) this song played.
Listen to Say the Words First.
Yes, that song there, the one above. Marty was playing the Mark Harper material as he knows how much I like it, and that song played and I may not have been a Scrooge but my heart still grew several times that moment and I took Marty’s hand and said, “I still like you”.
Everyone should have this song on their iPod so they can pop it in their iPod dock in their car and play it at the appropriate moment. Or, if you’re not in the car and you need this song and have it on your iPod, be sure to be carrying around an earphone splitter.
