I love the world

What a fun advertisement from (and for) the Discovery Channel! :-)

Here are the lyrics (but it wouldn’t make much sense to read the lyrics without watching the video):

Two astronauts are in outer space looking directly at the earth. One of them speaks up.

“It never gets old, huh?”
“Nope.”
“It kinda makes you wanna . . .”
“. . . break into song?”
“Yep.”

The astronauts break out into song:

“I love the mountains . . .”
“I love the clear blue skies . . .”

Now it changes to different Discovery Channel show people singing different lines (including Jamie and Adam from Mythbusters, Bear Grylls, and Stephen Hawking):

“I love big bridges . . .”
“I love when Great Whites fly . . .”
“I love the whole world . . .”
“. . . and all its sights and sounds.”

“Boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da!”

“I love the oceans . . .”
“I love real dirty things . . .”
“I love to go fast . . .”
“I love Egyptian kings . . .”
“I love the whole world . . .”
“. . . and all its craziness.”

“Boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da!”

“I love tornadoes . . .”
“I love arachnids . . . ”
“I love hot magma . . .”
“I love the giant squids . . .”
“I love the whole world . . .”
“It’s such a brilliant place!”

“Boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da, boom-dee-ah-da!”

“The world is just awesome!”

Indeed, I love the Lord, his word, his people, and his whole creation — from the stars beyond to the atoms within! Because of Jesus Christ, not only is creation such a brilliant and beautiful place, but far more importantly, so are his redeemed people, whom I love with my whole heart! And my heart sings and rejoices in humble thanks and adoration for the mercy and grace of God in Christ Jesus to his creation, his people, and most of all to a sinner like me! In Christ, I can honestly say that I want to break into song and sing, I love the whole wide world! :-)

    Couldn’t figure out how to comment on the Kris Lundgaard post, bit I wanted to tell you that there is a ladies’ book study at my church that is going through Through the Looking Glass. Although I can’t make it, I am reading through it on my own, and the elder that is teaching it has great notes that I will have to borrow :-)

    I am glad you are looking forward to New Attitude! I will have to give you a tour of the Seminary :-)

    Hey Patrick, Thanks for the comment on my blog. I think I recognize your name from the BoundlessLine? I’m all done teaching classes, so now all I need is the job. I have a friend who has offered to let me rent a room from her in southern ME, so I’m hoping to get a job down there, and will have the built-in community. Thanks for the encouragement!

    Don’t disgrace the Discovery channel by thanking a god for this creation. The discovery channel is about science and truth and the natural creation and not about fictional stories.

    Anybody else wonder what “the natural creation” is?

    I was kind of curious. I am not sure that I have ever heard that term before. :/
