golden no prizes for guessing where i was tonight. actually that sentence doesn't even make sense. i'm half asleep and i know i should be sleeping now cos i got an early lecture. anyway i thank god for the starry night tonight and for giving me the space to sit outside and stare at his creation, basking in his peace and in thoughts of prayer to him.lord, although you said in your Word your love can never be fully known here, i want to feel how broad and how deep, how long and how wide your love is. (i can't remember the bible reference but this whole sentence was a paraphrase from one of paul's letters). help me to love being alone with you, lord. i want to feel your love and your comfort and reassurance that you're there for me. i want to claim my security in you as a child of god. bring to mind your promises for this daughter of yours. help me to truly feel and know what it means to be your child. and give me the strength to overcome evil with good. and the ability to control my anger when my parents provoke me and give all the hurts covered beneath to you. [on another tangent, i thank you i'm not living in the holocaust era and i thank you for your grace for sparing me from that..everything else seems to pale in comparison. and even though my head has been filled with horrific pictures and info from the holocaust for the past week due to my school project, i thank you for sparing me from bad dreams and keeping me safe from nightmares.] and lastly, (but not the least), keep me safe from the evil one and his tricks. help me not to fall for his mind games and keep me close by your side. fill me with your spirit of power, love and self-control (reference: timothy). amen. Golden by SWITCHFOOT She's alone tonight with a bitter cup and She's undone tonight, she's all used up She's been staring down the demons who've been screaming she's just another so and so, another so and so You are golden, you are golden child You are golden, don't let go, don't let go tonight There's a fear that burns like trash inside And your shame the curse that burns your eyes You've been hiding in the bedroom hoping this isn't how the story has to go It's not the way it goes, it's your book now You are golden, you are golden child You are golden, don't let go, don't let go tonight You're a lonely soul in a land of broken hearts Your far from home is a perfect place to start So this final verse is a contradiction and the more we learn, the less we know We've been talking about a feeling we both know inside but couldn't find the words I couldn't write this verse I've seldom been so sure about anything before You are golden, you are golden child You are golden, don't let go, don't let go tonight This world is a dead man down Every breath is a fading crown we wear like some debilitated king The earth spins and the moon goes round The green comes from the frozen ground And everything will be made new again like freedom in spring (Like freedom in spring) |
