another jars of clay song

"Oh My God"
- Jars of Clay

Oh my God, look around this place
Your fingers reach around the bone
You set the break and set the tone

Flights of grace, and future falls
In present pain
All fools say, "Oh my God"

Oh my God, Why are we so afraid?
We make it worse when we don't bleed
There is no cure for our disease

Turn a phrase, and rise again
Or fake your death and only tell your closest friend
Oh my God.

Oh my God, can I complain?
You take away my firm belief and graft my soul upon your grief
Weddings, boats and alibis
All drift away, and a mother cries

Liars and fools; sons and failures
Thieves will always say
Lost and found; ailing wanderers
Healers always say

Whores and angels; men with problems
Leavers always say
Broken hearted; separated
Orphans always say

War creators; racial haters
Preachers always say
Distant fathers; fallen warriors
Givers always say

Pilgrim saints; lonely widows
Users always say
Fearful mothers; watchful doubters
Saviors always say

Sometimes I cannot forgive
And these days, mercy cuts so deep
If the world was how it should be, maybe I could get some sleep

While I lay, I dream we're better,
Scales were gone and faces light
When we wake, we hate our brother
We still move to hurt each other

Sometimes I can close my eyes,
And all the fear that keeps me silent falls below my heavy breathing,
What makes me so badly bent?

We all have a chance to murder
We all feel the need for wonder
We still want to be reminded that the pain is worth the thunder

Sometimes when I lose my grip, I wonder what to make of heaven
All the times I thought to reach up
All the times I had to give

Babies underneath their beds
Hospitals that cannot treat all the wounds that money causes,
All the comforts of cathedrals

All the cries of thirsty children - this is our inheritance
All the rage of watching mothers - this is our greatest offense

Oh my God
Oh my God
Oh my God

What I learned today

Holiness

Many of us today are unaware of our personal holiness.
Some of us neglect it.

But in the Bible, it says that each one of us must be holy for our Lord is holy.

What do you mean by holy?
it means being separated. not doing things like the common people do. you are set apart.

flee from temptation




Being a member of the Body of Christ

we must not just be an attendee. we must be members.
attendees just watch and observe while members contribute and do something for the organization they belong to.

love God and love others

this morning, i was reminded that there are two things that i must do here on earth. to love God and to love others. loving God, worshipping Him in all I do.

love others as you love yourself. you can give without loving but you cannot love without giving.

loving also means giving your time to the person you are sharing your love. it's a sacrifice, yeah, but i know it is worth giving your time to them.
