My favorite song is an unnamed song on their new album. Brooke Fraser sang it at the concert and it was so beautiful. Tears almost came out. Sadly, I don't know the lyrics nor the title. :(Second, I did not like it as much until after the whole controversy surrounding the song and the song-writer, Mike Guglielmucci.
For those of you who don't know, Mike wrote the song to "promote" his faith in God even though he was dying of cancer. The problem was, he didn't have cancer. He had been faking it for like two years.
To me, this ensured a place in my heart for the song. It was obvious that Mike was repentant and that he greatly regretted his actions. Although it would be crazy if God cure cancer,to me, it is much more amazing that God can "heal" Mike's heart and forgive him. Mike, along with every single one of us, broke God's laws and lied and stole and sinned, but God still forgave Mike along with the rest of us. We ought to have died but he showed us mercy. This is all elementary concepts to some of you guys but it is still amazing.
Besides, it puts us in a place where we can't really judge Mike. "Let he who hast not sinned cast the first stone," right? Mike shows us indirectly truly how much greater God really is than we make him out to be. A God so filled with love for us that he would love Mike after his atrocious act is something to admire and yearn for.
So all in all, I still love you Mike and so does God. :)
Besides, we all do atrocious acts in our lives. Even if it doesn't get broadcasted across 6 continents. Spread the love ya'll. <3
