Book of Song Lyrics

From what other people tell me, i have some pretty bad taste in music. And what makes it worse is i can listen to the same songs over and over and over. Just last week i listened to the same 3 songs for 3 hours straight. Each song plays 6 times every hour, so i guess i heard each song at least 18 times. And what is sad, is most people can't listen to the entire song even once. But the reason i like most songs is the lyrics, they say something really cool and they sound so cool how they do it. This is one of the reasons I really like the book of Psalms. It is a collection of all of Israel's favorite music. Spaning over a thousand years this book is one of the largest in the entire Bible, having more chapters than any other book and it is just a giant song book, with different sytles and types of music. And the Psalms are written by different people in different times of thier lives. This past weekend we looked at the first half of psalms, chapters 1-72 and we saw some really cool stuff. We saw that chapter 3 is about King David having to run away from his son cause his son wanted to kill him, we saw in chapter 23 David comparing God to a shepherd and we are His sheep, and finally we peeked at Psalm 51 which is the Psalm David wrote after the biggest mistake he made in his life. I can't wait to finish the book next week.

So next week we will be adding staff pages to the website. It will have photos of each leader from Amped as well as a Bio and things they enjoy in life. Make sure to check it out, cause it will be awesome!
