Sleeping at Last – Mother

Merry Christmas, friends, and welcome to another installment of The Gospel According To at The Fangirl Fulfilled. Today I wanted to talk about another absolutely exquisite song from one of my favorite chill-and-thoughtful artists, Sleeping At Last. Many of their songs feel like worship/Gospel to me, even though the singer-songwriter hasn’t expressed any belief that I can tell. It’s actually amazing how much Sleeping At Last’s song “Mother” sounds like a faith-based, super poetic song to me. And it’s the perfect song for the Christmas season. Hope you enjoy!

Fandom: “Love bigger than the ocean/ Is what you’ve given to me…” – Sleeping At Last, “Mother”

Verses: Psalm 131, John 3:16, Ephesians 3:18-21, Job 11:7-9, Psalm 103:11-14, 2 Corinthians 9:8, Jude 24-25, Romans 15:13, 2 Timothy 1:7, Philippians 4:20, 2 Peter 1:3, 2 Corinthians 9:15, Romans 11:36, 1 Corinthians 8:6, Colossians 1:16

Truth: God’s love is bigger than the ocean, utterly incomprehensible, and yet closer and more real than anything else in this world.

The Beatles – Here Comes the Sun

Happy Monday, friends, and welcome to another fandoms post! It’s finally starting to feel like summer where I live, and I could not be more grateful. Feeling the warmth and light of sun on my face makes me think of thes classic and soothing song by the Beatles, “Here Comes the Sun.” And of course, thinking of the Beatles made me think of Gospel truths to share.

Owl City – If My Heart Was A House

Happy day, friends, and thanks for stopping by my website! I’ve been wanting to share my thoughts about this song by Owl City for a long time now. It’s one of the first fandom songs that pointed me to Scripture, and it’s still very close to my heart. I used to listen to “If My Heart Was a House” every single night before I went to sleep, and it’s one of my absolute favorite Owl City songs to this day. Hope you’ll enjoy fangirling with me!

Verses: Deuteronomy 33:27, Isaiah 30:21, John 14:23

Truth: We can make our home in God’s heart, even as we invite Him to make a home in ours.
