Also noteworthy is all the changes going on around here. Andrea is starting training for her new job at church, my online Bible study could be ending this week, I might be teaching some classes at Good Shepherd. You can read all of it in full over at r2r.
And when I driving home today from my daily errands, I heard this song on the radio and I like it a lot. If you have ever been in a romantic relationship that didn't work out for whatever reason, I think it will have have a strong effect. The idea of writing a "break-up letter" to sin is intriguing to me. I might parody this later.
Disciple - Dear X (You Don't Own Me)
Dear pain, oh, it's been a long time
Remember when you were holding me tight
I would stay awake with you all night
Dear shame, I was safe in your arms
You were there when it all fell apart
I would get so lost in your beautiful lies
I let you go
But you're still chasing
Go ahead
You're never gonna take me
You can bend
But you're never gonna break me
I was yours
I'm not yours anymore
Oh, you don't own me
Dear hate, I know you're not far
You would wait at the door of my heart
I was amazed at the passion in your cries
Dear anger, you made me so high
You were faithful to show up on time
Such a flame that was burning in your eyes
I let you go
But you're still chasing
Go ahead
You're never gonna take me
You can bend
But you're never gonna break me
I was yours
But I'm not yours anymore
Oh, you don't own me
Go ahead
Put a target on my forehead
You can fire
But you've got no bullet
I was yours
But I'm not yours anymore
Oh, you don't own me
You tempted me to look back
But everything that we had together was a lie
The Disciple song reminds me (thematically, not so much musically) of MercyMe's "So Long Self."
ReplyDeleteI need to get Google Reader to upload comments people make on this site. I forgot to do that, thus, I just saw your comment here now.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, it does remind me a lot of that song as well. I haven't heard it in so long!
