Another day, another song.  Last night I watched An Inconvenient Truth – holy cow, It made me want to repent more than any sermon I’ve heard.  If you haven’t seen it, it’s about Al Gore’s slide show on global warming.  It goes between him presenting the slide show and him talking about himself and how the slide show came about.  It’s hard to believe a movie hosted by Gore would be remotely intriguing but it’s amazingly captivating and despite the weighty topics, it even has some humor (thank God for ghost writers).  Anyways todays song from the advent e.p. would’ve had a verse about global warming if I had seen this movie two months ago.  ‘A Day Like Today’ is pretty straightforward, addressing my frustrations with the church and remembering that despite our screwed up ways, Christ is present.  If yesterdays two songs scared you with thier use of distortion, this one will woo you back with it’s gentle 3/4 call.  Waltz on. A Day Like Today

Would you come on a day like today? / To a world full of violence and hate / With leaders that claim you but kill anyway / Would you come on a day like today? / Would you come on a day like today?

Could you come at a time such as this? / With a church so divided over who we should kiss / That the heart of the gospel is completely missed / Could you come at a time such as this? / Could you come at a time such as this?

Was your mind on the cross in the womb? / Set free at your birth and again at the tomb
The whole world€™s in labor, oh Jesus come soon / Was your mind on the cross in the womb? / Was your mind on the cross in the womb?

You are here in the bread and the wine / The promise holds true after all this time / The finite and holy become intertwined / You are here in the bread and the wine / You are here in the bread and the wine
