“Confession is good for the soul, they say.”
That’s how this song called “Your Mercy” by a group named Blessed started off in my minivan this morning, as I made my way from Giant Eagle over to McDonalds, to pick up the large hot chocolate I forgot to buy at the grocery store.
I wondered if it was the song I loved that went “I’m always talking about how much you blessed me” – and as I peered up at the red light to turn green, I knew it was.
“I’m always singing about how much you blessed me,” sang the pleasant voices, which I see from the pic on Amazon is a group of four women, as pictured on the album cover named Journey for the Heart, released all the way back in 2000 – nearly 12 years ago.
It’s funny, I don’t remember hearing the song until recent years, when the gospel music XM/Sirius station began playing it.
I thought about how – if it were earlier last year when I worked on the media team at church – I may have downloaded the song onto my iPod Touch and played it during those set-up times before church, or during the break down times after church.
And I imagined one deacon who would joke with me, “Paula, what’s that funeral music you’re playing again?”
But anyway, it’s a pleasant and calm and powerful song – one of those you can listen to when you’re not in a shouting mood, but more introspective and soulful and solitary place of being.
It’s a good song. Glad I remembered to come home and Google it and write about it to tell the others that are searching for the lyrics, trying to find out the name of the song they’ve no doubt caught on the way to work on their radios.
