Formative media's affect on me

I think one major media text that has affected me a lot lately is music. The song that has been affecting me is Give Me Jesus by Jeremy Camp. This text is Christian based and is very simple. It says basically the same idea throughout the entire song, which is no matter what all I want is Jesus. This song connects to me in the sense that even when I am going through some tough issues like I have been now that if I just ask for Jesus and his help I can handle it. That is kind of how it has impacted me as well. I have come to realize that no matter what the issue is or how many problems I feel piling up that if I have Jesus working right along side me then I will be fine and I can take on this world. I had not heard this song for a long time until this past week. When I did hear it come on out of all my other songs on my itunes, it was like an overwhelming sense of peace. I am not sure that I can fully explain the peace that I felt but it was similar to a rock or something of that nature being lifted of my shoulders. It was like all my problems and worries were gone and I could just live my life. It was almost like I did not even have problems in my life but they were someone else's that I was trying to claim for my own. It was definately a point of relaxation in my life rather than stress or any other feeling.
