Wow! Today was certainly an interesting day. I am way too sensitive for my liking! Well, anyways...there is this song that I absolutely love by Dan Adkins. It explains very well what I feel as I am attending this secular college. Here are the lyrics.
(Chorus)
I'm living with heaven in mind
It's the best way of livin that you will ever find.
Now, my heads not in the clouds
But I'm not ashamed, I'm proud to say
I'm livin with Heaven in mind.
(Verse 1)
In this world we're so misunderstood,
They say we're so Heavenly minded
That we're no earthly good.
They say just live for today
But no matter what they say,
Still I'm livin with Heaven in mind.
(Chorus)
I'm living with heaven in mind
It's the best way of livin that you will ever find.
Now, my heads not in the clouds
But I'm not ashamed, I'm proud to say
I'm livin with Heaven in mind.
(Verse 2)
Heaven's hope is the message I bring
'Cause we're in the world, not of it,
It's a temporary thing.
And I want to make it clear
That my home is not down here
So I'm livin with Heaven in mind.
(Chorus)
I'm living with heaven in mind
It's the best way of livin that you will ever find.
Now, my heads not in the clouds
But I'm not ashamed, I'm proud to say
I'm livin with Heaven in mind.
I'm livin with Heaven in mind.
This song means so much to me. It was written by Dan Adkins who passed about 4 years ago. He used to travel around to baptist churches here in the US. He came to our church just before he died of a heart attack. He had made such an impact on my life...all these years I regret the fact that I was too shy to go up and meet him and let him know what an encouragement he was to me in my life.
Good lyrics.
ReplyDeleteThe majority of secular college professors require secular sources to be used for essays and research as one's faith is based on personal belief that differs with both the individual and the religious philosophy the person espouses.
ReplyDeleteIt's not an indictment against one's faith and/or belief system, but a way to separate church and state from colliding in an academic setting.
Refocusing your specific essay allows a bit more latitude with the sources you use to support your thesis.
I was searching for guitar chords for this song when I came across your blog. This is one of my favorites he sang. Dan Adkins was indeed a songbird for the Lord. He came to our church here in Colorado a few times, and I got to meet him. He was a very bright light for Jesus. I am so glad I bought a couple of his CDs. God Bless, Anna
