OOMFITYSK--#3

Tim Timmons is another One Of My Friends I Think You Should Know. Tim serves as one of the worship leaders at Mariners Church, the congregation where I worshiped in California, and he's also experiencing success as a singer, songwriter, and recording artist.

Tim's not only talented, though--he's also the real deal, kind and humble and fun on stage and off. During my recent trip to Mariners he gave me fruit leather, endured my pestering to share three good things about his day, and took time from a staff meeting for an impromptu, and very meaningful, conversation about spiritual issues.

My favorite song on his newest CD is "Uprising." Check it out on iTunes and imagine it playing during the cardboard before-and-after moment below.........goosebumps.

Your uprising is my uprising......
Uprising from the meaningless
rising from the hopelessness
rising from the stains of our sins

Uprising from the restlessness
rising from the loneliness
rising from the fear within

Uprising from the brokenness
rising from the wandering
rising from prison and rising from the pain

Uprising from the evil one
rising from discouragement
rising from my failures
and rising from my pride

Uprising from the prejudice
rising from abandonment
rising from the worries
and rising from the lies

Uprising from confusion
rising from insignificance
rising from death to life

Uprising to contentment
uprising to hopefulness
rising to freedom
and rising to rest

Uprising to significance
rising to gratefulness
rising to a newness of life
