Music

So the past couple days, I've had a song stuck in my head--For You, by The Calling--that I hadn't heard in a couple years. And yesterday at church--stay with me, I promise this is going somewhere--the topic was about the Bible--how it is the truth, and the benefits of reading it (including giving light to the eyes--Psalm 19:8). I only knew the lyrics of the chorus to the song, so it got annoying really fast, and I decided to look up the lyrics online, and saw this:

Within the darkness
You are the light that shines the way.


And this:

Someone's changed me
Something's saved me
And this is who I am.
Although I was blinded
My heart let me find out
That truth makes a better man.


Now this is a pop song, released in 2003 for the Daredevil soundtrack, and I'm seeing Christian references in here. I've been seeing these kinds of things a lot lately--like little arrows pointing to God--and every time I notice one, it makes me smile. The best part of this--in my mind--is that the song was stuck in my head for the chorus, and my mild OCD made me so upset that I had to get the full lyrics. And I can't even begin to point out the references in another song on that soundtrack--Bring Me to Life, by Evanescence--which I only listened to because the soundtrack was now on my mind.
