Great song str8jktmn. Here is another one of my favorites from Jeremy Camp.

Walk By Faith by Jeremy Camp

Would I believe you when you would say
Your hand will guide my every way
Will I receive the words You say
Every moment of every day

(chorus)
Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Well because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me

Help me to win my endless fears
You've been so faithful for all my years
With one breath You make me new
Your grace covers all I do

yeah, yeah , yeah, yeah, yeah, ya

(chorus)

Well I'm broken, but I still see Your face
Well You've spoken, pouring Your words of grace

(chorus x2)

Well hallelujah, hallelu
(I will walk by faith)
Well hallelujah, hallelu
(I will walk by faith)

I will walk, I will walk, I will walk by faith
I will, I will, I will walk by faith

Nothing Without You by Bebo Norman

Take these hands
And lift them up
For I have not the strength to praise You near enough
See, I have nothing
I have nothing without You

And take my voice and pour it out
Let it sing the songs of mercy I have found
For I have nothing
I have nothing without You

And all my soul needs is all Your love
To cover me, so all the world will see
That I have nothing without You

Take my body and build it up
May it be broken as an offering of love
For I have nothing
I have nothing without You

And all my soul needs is all Your love
To cover me so all the world will see
That I have nothing
That I love You, yeah
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind
And all the strength I can find

Take my time here on this earth
And let it glorify all that You are worth
For I am nothing
I am nothing without You

Place In This World by Michael W. Smith

The wind is moving
But I am standing still
A life of pages
Waiting to be filled
A heart thats hopeful
A head thats full of dreams
But this becoming
Is harder than it seems
Feels like

Chorus:
I'm looking for a reason
Roaming through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world

If there are millions
Down on their knees
Among the many
Can you still hear me
Hear me asking
Where do I belong
Is there a vision
That I can call my own
Show me

Chorus

Just heard this on for the first time.

'Til the Day I Die by Third Day

I wanna tell you
I wanna tell you just how I feel
I will show you
I will show you my love is real

Nobody’s ever gonna love you like I am
You never can deny that
Nobody’s ever gonna hold you like I am
I’ll love you ‘til I die
Until the day I die

I said “forever”
I said “forever” and I mean it
I made a promise
And I intend to always keep it

Forever is so far beyond the reach of my mind
So I’ll give all I have, my heart, my love, my life…

If You Want Me To by Ginny Owens

The pathway is broken
And the signs are unclear
And I don't know the reason why you brought me here
But just because you love me the way that you do
I'm gonna walk through the valley
If you want me to

Cuz I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise you're not through with me yet
So if all of these trials bring me closer to you
Then I will go through the fire
If you want me to

It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world that's not my home
But you never said it would be easy
You only said I'll never go alone

So when the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear you answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering your love put you through
And I will go through the valley
If you want me to

The recent talk I had with my DS6 about my situation made the words to this song more real to me.

When The Children Cry by Seventh Day Slumber

Little child dry your crying eyes
How can I explain the fear you feel inside
Cause you were born into this evil world
Where man is killing man and no one knows just why
What have we become just look what we have done
All that we destroyed you must build again

(CHORUS)
When the children cry let them know we tried
Cause when the children sing then the new world begins

Little child you must show the way
To a better day for all the young
Cause you were born for all the world to see
That we all can live with love and peace
No more presidents and all the wars will end
One united world under God

(CHORUS)

What have we become just look what we have done
All that we destroyed you must build again
No more presidents and all the wars will end
One united world under God

When the children cry let them know we tried
When the children fight let them know it ain't right
When the children pray let them know the way
Cause when the children sing then the new world begins

Awake by Seventh Day Slumber

As time went on I opened up my eyes
Never really knew me, you don't know what's deep inside
Just so you know I'll never be like you
I'll take what God has made me
I'm not an empty shell

And I hope they see
Instead of following

(Chorus)
Finally awake
I feel alive today
I feel everything
It's all so clear to me

How many times have I hated who I was
Lost sight of what defines me
'cause of airbrushed magazines
But now I've come To cherish who I am
Sick and tired of faking a life that wasn't mine

And I hope they see
Instead of following

(repeat chorus)

I'm alive
It's all so clear to me
I'm alive
It's all so clear to me
And I hope they see

(repeat chorus)

Here's one that I love that I listen to often.
It's by Hoobastank and it's called The Reason.

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

I've found a resaon for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

What Have We Become by DC Talk

A preacher shuns his brother
Cause his bride's a different color
And this is not acceptable
His papa taught him so
It was love that he'd been preaching
But this was overreaching
The boundaries stretchin' further
Than his heart would choose to go

Like an angel with no wings
Like a kingdom with no king

(chorus 1)
What have we become?
A self indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones?
What have we become?
In a world degenerating
What have we become?

(chorus 2)
Speak your mind, look out for yourself
The answer to it all is a life of wealth
Grab all you can cause you live just once
You got the right to do whatever you want
Don't worry about others or where you came from
It ain't what you were, it's what you have become

Mom and Dad are fightin'
As Rosie lies there crying
For once again she's overheard
Regrets of their mistake
With Christmas bells a-ringing
Little Rosie'd leave them grieving The gift she'd give her family
Would be the pills she'd take

An inconvenient child
She wasn't worth their while

(repeat choruses 1 and 2)

What about love?
What about God?
What about holiness?
What about mercy, compassion and selflessness?

You know it's true
He is there for me and you
Doesn't matter what you do

(repeat chorus 1)

What have we become?
Have we come undone?
What have we become?
Have we come undone?
What have we become?

(repeat chorus 2)

Selfish... ???
With selfish... ???
Selfish people
When you gonna learn?
Everyone of us
Gathered 'round in trust
What have we become?

What If I Stumble by DC Talk

[The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today
Is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips
Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle.
That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable]

What if I stumble?
What if I fall?

Is this one for the people?
Is this one for the Lord?
Or do I simply serenade for things I must afford?
You can jumble them together, my conflict still remains
Holiness is calling, in the midst of courting fame

Cause I see the trust in their eyes
Though the sky is falling
They need Your love in their lives
Compromise is calling

(chorus)
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
What if I lose my step and I make fools of us all?
Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble, and what if I fall?

What if I stumble, what if I fall?
You never turn in the heat of it all
What if I stumble, what if I fall?

Father please forgive me for I can not compose
The fear that lives within me
Or the rate at which it grows
If struggle has a purpose
On the narrow road you've carved
Why do I dread my trespasses will leave a deadly scar

Do they see the fear in my eyes?
Are they so revealing?
This time I cannot disguise
All the doubt I'm feeling

(repeat chorus)

What if I stumble?
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that
You're up against a wall, it's about to fall
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that (2x)

I hear You whispering my name [You say]
"My love for You will never change" [never change]

(repeat chorus 2x)

What if I stumble, what if I fall?
You never turn in the heat of it all
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
You are my comfort, and my God

Is this one for the people, is this one for the Lord?

It's very good. Let me know what you think. It is not by a christian band though. I noticed that your songs are all by christian bands. Not that I don't like any of those. It definately seems to explain how I feel about what I did to my wife and how sorry I am.

No problem - it doesn't have to be by a Christian group. I'll listen to anything, but I am more careful now.

Thanks for adding it, feel free to add more.

Here's one that'll get your finger's snapping.

4th Avenue Jones: Stereo

We’re too material, materialistic
But one possession I prize is just my stereo
I got her when I was five, after I wished it
Now all I need to survive’s a simple stereo

She’s with me when I’m feeling low
And no one else knows
I take her everywhere I go
Uh uh oh

The only girl in my life when other chicks dis’
Nobody there to confide in but my stereo
She sang Marley we vibe Natural Mystic
Until the day that I die gon’ love my stereo

She’s with me when I have no doe
Totally broke
I take her everywhere I go
Uh uh oh

Well my mother met her at a mall
I believe she had emigrated from Japan
On display but they ain’t never let her music play
Because her boss was a mean old man
And he didn’t like kid’s dancing and rapping all around her bumpin’ that hip-hop
But everybody love her in the ghetto and they start to groove
Whenever she be on the block to ROCK!

We’re too material, materialistic
But one possession I prize is just my stereo
I got her when I was five, after I wished it
Now all I need to survive’s a simple stereo

She’s with me when I’m feeling low
And no one else knows
I take her everywhere I go
Uh uh oh

I have heard this song before but I never paid attention to the words until I heard it just now.

Blind by Lifehouse

I was young but I wasn't naive
I watched helpless as he turned around to leave
And still I have the pain I have to carry
A past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go

I would fall asleep
Only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like is was before
But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go

After all this time
Would you ever wanna leave it
Maybe you could not believe it
That my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you will ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
And I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me dies when I let you go

Always by Seventh Day Slumber

I'll never find the words to say
How beautiful you are my son
And everyday that this life brings
You have to know how much you're loved

Even when I'm far away
I will dream of you tonight
I'll pray to God to bless your life
Always, always
As you grow and start to change
I will love you just the same
Always, always

And when you feel like giving up
I will walk you through the pain
And when you feel like life's too much
Remember Jesus is your strength

Always

There will come a day when I'll explain
All the mistakes your dad has made
I hope you see that it was Christ
And only Him that rescued me

Even when I fell away

Every Saturday by Seventh Day Slumber

Saturdays have never been the same
And I still can't believe you're gone
So many things I wish that I could say
I guess the hardest part of moving on

Are these memories that have overtaken me
Once again I'm right here on my knees

I'm barely hanging on
With all these empty feelings
I'm hurting in so many ways
And though I can't begin
to understand the reason
I still believe that you're God

Saturdays have never been the same
That moment keeps repeating in my mind
The ringing phone a call that changed my world
An emptiness that words cannot define

Are these memories that have overtaken me
Once again I'm right here on my knees

As you cried I cried with you
I'll never leave I'll carry you through
Can't you see that I was always there
These ashes of pain will fade

Interesting thread.
I, too, use music as a way of therapy to get myself thru this ordeal. I play anything that suits my mood. It could be punk rock if I am angry, romantic songs when thinking back on all of our good times, whatever sounds good.
My mood now is very down. I have been listening to this one a lot today.

"World of Midnight" - Minako Obota

someday i want to run away
to the world of midnight
where the darkness fill the air
where it's icy cold

where nobody has a name
where living is not a game
there, I’ll hide my broken heart
dying to survive

there, no one can see me cry
the tears of my lonely soul
i'll find peace of mind
in the dark and cold world at midnight
