Greetings Dear Reader,
I have written more than once about the way music plays in
my head constantly. Often lines from songs
or snippets of verse will pop into my brain when I am pondering a situation or
processing something emotional. There
are also songs I associate with certain people.
There is another way in which music camps out in my brain. When others are struggling I often identify a
piece of music with their current distress.
I see their need in light of the promises and hope of certain
songs. When I pray for them I often end
with the song I have associated with their need.
Also, in this part of my thinking there are songs that
express my heart so much better than I can.
There are songs that resonate eternally with my journey. There are some that help me to have
perspective and some that simply quiet my soul as I try to keep moving.
I want to think through a few of these as I try to find a
way to keep on the path home. There are
songs I sing for you Dear Reader. I often
do so when I am driving alone for a long while.
As I wind through the long roads of the world your needs and struggles
wind through my mind and I try to sing you a little closer to home.
I hope you can keep my company whilst I share a bit of that
with you. Your thoughts and questions
are always welcome. We can start with
something that has been stuck in my head for almost a month now. It is a Christmas song but the phrases turn
in my head to mean so much more. Walk
with me as I sing you home Deer Reader.
Driving Home for Christmas
– Chris Rea
I'm driving home for Christmas,
Oh, I can't wait to see those
faces.
I'm driving home for Christmas,
yeah,
Well I'm moving down that line.
And it's been so long, but I will
be there;
I sing this song to pass the time
away
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
Its gonna take some time
But I’ll get there
Top to toe in tailbacks.
Oh, I got red lights all around,
But soon there’ll be a freeway,
yeah,
Get my feet on holy ground.
So I sing for you,
Though you can’t hear me
When I get through
And feel you near me.
Driving in my car
I’m driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories.
I take a look at the driver next to
me;
He's just the same.
Just the same…
Top to toe in tailbacks.
Oh, I got red lights all around,
I’m driving home for Christmas,
yeah,
Get my feet on holy ground.
So I sing for you,
Though you can hear me
When I get through
And feel you near me.
Driving in my car
I’m driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories.
I take a look at the driver next to
me;
He's just the same.
He’s driving home, driving home
Driving home for Christmas
Wishing you joy in the journey,

owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
