Shawn McDonald ~ Heard of Him?

Have you heard of this guy?  He is an Oregon boy, hails from Eugene, so by default I have to *like* him but his music and his past struggles are actually very inspiring! 

Read his bio and blog at Shawn McDonald Music .


Here is one of his songs that is playing on the radio these days.  I love it.  (And I actually liked him before I knew he was from Eugene)


Closer by Shawn McDonald

Looking for a color in a shade of gray

Looking for love in a drop of rain

Trying to find change in the old mundane

Everything I do just feels the same

Spending my life out in the desert

Then gone so long feels like forever



I just want to be closer to you

I just want to be closer, I am yours

You can have all of me anything, everything

I just want to be closer



A day without you is a thousand years

A day without you is a million tears

Tell me what I’m doing wrong when I’m in fear

Why do I run when you are so near

Spending my life out in the weather

Been gone so long and I need some shelter



Where ever you go

Where ever you are

I just want be there with you

I just want to be closer to you

I just want to be closer

I am yours

You can have all of me anything everything

I just want to be closer

I just want to be closer to you

I just want to be closer

For I am yours

You can have all of me anything, everything

I just want to be closer



Looking for a color in the shade of gray

Looking for love in a drop of rain

Everytime I hear this song  I get goose bumps because it is exactly how I feel with regard to my walk with the LORD.  I want to get closer to him.  I want to do right by him.  I want to serve him. I am his.
