I hear a blind man, asking where this road goes
But we won't tell him, we just stop to block his way with stones
I watch a woman, overtaken by disease
We fell upon her suffering, instead of offering the cure she needs
My heart is heavy as I see what we've become
How quickly we forget what we've been rescued from
If not for the hand that leads us
We too would roam in the darkness
If not for the hand that heals us
We would live in pain
Our hands have power, they can harm and they can heal
We raise them in praise and honor
We use them to stone and steal
With his two hands, one that rescued history
Said he came for the sick and sightless
He said that was you and me
If not for the hand that leads us
We too would roam in the darkness
If not for the hand that heals us
We would live in pain
But still we keep our distance
Caught up in our false pretenses
Only by the hand have we been changed
Compelled by the gracious hand that chose to change this life for us
Won't we choose to use our hands to give the world his love?
If not for the hand that leads us
We too would roam in the darkness
If not for the hand that heals us
We would live in pain
But still we keep our distance
Caught up in our false pretenses
Only by the hand have we been changed
Have we been changed
theres like this huuuuuge expanse of deep, dark forest right in front of me my temper is getting shorter and shorter and shorter and i've yelled at just about everyone including myself. my rents are upset with me, all my dad ever wants to see me do is study, my mum just follows. i know they want the best for me but its just so eurgh FRUSTRATING i just completed an entire YEAR of chionging for the o's and sacrificing just about everything i had, there is absolutely NO memories whatsoever of having fun with my friends or just having good, undisturbed, proper time of fellowship in church after services and all during the whole course of last year and now with nine hour long days in jc my life is going to consist of just three things- my studies, home and church. im not complaining about that, thats fine with me if they would only leave my time in church ALONE. i dont even know which services im banned from they'd be happy if i just didnt go for all. i have no idea what they're trying to do whatever inputs i give is just completely and totally ignored their entire mindset just revolves around sheHAStogetintotheuniversityorherentirelifeisruined and when i choose not to say anything, i get yelled at.
thoughts keep filling my head and i know im blessed when i compare myself to alot of people, i know im loved, by Him at least. i know what commitments i want to keep and then its the struggle between what the Bible says about obeying your parents and standing up for your faith. the line between the two extremes is so blurred, you hardly see anything and i dont know if i've crossed the line, or if im going to. so its just EURGH
yesterdays message was about trusting in good times, trusting in good times was tough, trusting in bad times is in some ways easier, and in other ways harder. what i need now is lots of prayers and lots of sleep.
one day i decided i'd aspire to higher ambition, so i set out on a mission to change the world. armed and dangerous with my well meant words and best intentions, i went sharing my convictions with every living soul. but it wasn't long till the lightning flashed, the storms of disenchantment crashed. and my ambitions were scattered by winds of doubt and it wasn't long till i learned to see,
life wouldn't always be easy for me.
