Montana Sky by Whiteheart

Starting off the blog with 2 Christian songs in a row. My playlist has over 2500 songs and only about 3 or 400 songs are from my Christian days.

Whiteheart was and still is one of my favorite Christian Rock groups growing up. They still have a few albums that I could listen to all the way through. I thought this song came from the Don't Wait For the Movie album but it's actually from Emergency Broadcast which was released a year later. They came out just before I got into Whiteheart. Freedom was the album that I really got into them. I've seen them in concert more than once, I want to say probably 3 or 4 times so you'll see a number of songs on here.


Another video that's not actually the video, I'm guessing that maybe the Christian songs are harder to come by for music videos.

Lyrics

Gazing from a lonely mountaintop
Face to face with a sky that never stops
Here, where an empty soul can turn
To look for the reasons, the riddles of why

They happen, things we just don't understand
But there's a peace for what we cannot comprehend
Oh, we can climb higher than the pain
To find some comfort when the answer isn't plain

We don't know why but when the world is lost
In shadows there is a light that will remain
The love He gave that cared enough to die
Is as endless as a Montana sky

Flowing on the mysteries of time are secrets
That are hidden from my mind
Oh, for all I cannot understand
My loving Father holds the answers in His hands

We don't know why but when the world is lost
In shadows there is a light that will remain
The love He gave that cared enough to die
Is as endless as the Montana sky

When there's no why, there is hope beyond the sorrow
It is the truth that will not change
His love that gave that cared enough to die
Is as endless as the Montana sky

Pure as the Montana sky
Endless as a Montana sky

If I Had A Yard by the Choir

This song was from back in my Christian music days. I listened to a ton of it in the late 80's, early 90's as you'll see the further into this blog I get. I loved this album and I could still sit and listen to it from start to finish.

That was the best video I could find, I will try to publish the actual music video if I can.

Lyrics

If I had a yard
I would play in it
We could play in it
If we had a yard….

On a sunny day
I would play croquet
In the early spring
You could grow green things
(and purple flowers)
Should the children frown
We would hose them down

If I had a yard
I would play in it
We could play in it
If we had a yard….

Sleep outside at night
When the moon is bright
Watch the laundry wave
Dig the dog a grave
(in the garden?)
Drink the acid rain
‘Till we go insane

If I had a yard
I would play in it
We could play in it
If we had a yard
If you had a yard
If I had a yard
