One of my new favorite songs

One of my very favorite singer/songwriters is Jill Phillips. I love that her songs are so honest and fresh. I highly recommend you to buy any of her CDs but she recently released a new album called "The Good Things." You can't buy her stuff in the store but you can get it on itunes and at her website: http://jillphillips.com/.

Here is a song that I just love and has really spoken to me in this time of my life. It's the title track of the album: "The Good Things." You can actually listen to it on her myspace page (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=17906100)

Every once in a while the world stops spinning enough
That I can take a step back and get the picture
I see the twists and the turns, I see the patterns they form
I see how perfect they are and I remember

All the good things
All the good things
All the good things you’ve done for me

Though the feeling is real I know it’s fleeting to feel
One day I’ll forget you are here and start to wonder
In that season of doubt, You’ll still be showering me
With blessings I can’t see, that can’t be numbered

All the good things
All the good things
All the good things You’ve done for me

Forgive me for my shortsighted look at this world
Where you keep proving that you know what you’re doing

If I could see like you do with your perspective view
The fires I’m walking through would look much different
I’d see those difficult days for who they made me become
And I would count them among

All the good things
All the good things
All the good things You’ve done for me
