Forget What You Came For

They say if you can't do something right, don't do it at all. So for the past few months, I haven't been blogging. I have high hopes of more frequent posting ahead, but who knows?

Anyway, I was listening to some music for the first time in a while this week and ran across this song from a group called The Myriad. It's called "Forget What You Came For." In a nutshell, this song is about putting aside your worries and your hurries to focus on what matters -- just being still and listening to God.

For The Myriad, I imagine this song took on new meaning last November when drummer Randy Miller died after a two-year battle with cancer at age 39. Take a listen and may it move you to "quit making noise."



forget what you came for
and give up what you have
forget what you came for
and give up what you have

as all the lights go down you'll see
that things aren't what they seem
for the sounds that spin you around
will crush your bones

quit making noise
and lend an ear to the silent voice
and trust in the hope of a thousand ships
crashing down on the sea

forget what you came for
forget what you came for
forget what you came for
and give up what you have

unhealthy rust in your blood stream
a lifeless frost to plague your dreams
then all the ghosts that chill the air
come and jolt your bones

quit making noise
and become still for the silent voice
and quit making noise
and wait

...

forget what you came for
and give up what you love
