So yesterday morning Sammy and I headed back to Rebecca Lake for more muskie fishing. En route he said, “I know why we didn’t land a a muskie yesterday. We didn’t listen to our favorite fly fishing music on the way.” He promptly turned on “The River” by Jordan Feliz. Today’s meditation is one of the many great songs on the album. Enjoy it on YouTube: Live it out!
Oh, and God was generous to us only a few minutes into our day. Sammy landed a 41 inch muskie – “the fish of 10,000 casts” – on his 9 wt TFO fly rod on a green double bunny muskie fly he tied with a Cam Sigler popper head. It was a gift from God. We love this song because whether we are fly fishing or doing anything else, we want to live out our Christian faith. We hope it inspires you too.
Hey! I feel a drum in my heart, in the beatings, breaking through
I feel a fire in my bones and I got to let it loose
Nothing of this world could ever give me the joy that comes from You
And I cannot contain it; gonna live it so they can see the truth
Ohh, this love that I know
I feel it deep in my soul, breaking my walls down
Wanna scream it loud
I’m gonna live it out, hey!
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I’m gonna live it out
Here’s my life, let it be a reflection of who You are
Here’s my hands and my feet, let ’em take You near and far
Nothing of this world could ever give me the hope that comes from You
And I just cannot hide it, gotta shine it so all can see the truth
Ohh, this love that I know
I feel it deep in my soul, breaking my walls down
Wanna scream it loud
