Tommy B’s Thoughts for the day

Well for those of you that read the one before this one you know what this blog is about, and the ones that are reading this one before “Every dog has his day” this blog is about some lyrics that I had heard yesterday that kind of spoke to me and made me think.

One that definitely caught my attention was “Burn Back the Sun” by Decyfer Down. There are several lyrics that I love in that song but that are just right on the money, but the one that I would say was the most meaningful to me would have to be the lyric “burn back the sun, you were the only one that loved me with passion’s quiet rage.” Passion’s quiet rage… that is probably the most thought provoking statement that I have heard in a song in a while. Most of the time when we think of passion we think of things like someone who is so focused that nothing can deter them form obtaining the thing that they love or someone that lives and breathes for something so much so that it seeps into every fiber of their life. I think this a something that does seep into the very core of a person but the difference is that people can see the difference without you having to tell people about it. I see this as a comparison to a new Christian’s walk of faith. People are going to notice a change in you whether you are a bible thumper or a ultra conservative person who never says anything about Christ or church. If Christ is really in your life then is nothing that you can do to stop Him from shining through.

The next song that comes to mind is “Those words are not enough” by Relient K. “When its twice as hard to realize that I am still trying twice as hard to satisfy myself on my own, and I’m still waiting for things to change. I lay my life before you, and I’m not getting up. Father how I adore you those words are not enough.” Those words just leave me breathless every time that I hear them. It takes exactly how I feel on some Sunday mornings when God shows up and just washes over me like the waves of the ocean. Sometimes I get so caught up in the presence of God that I find it hard to breathe sometimes. For those of you who don’t know what it feels like to have God show up and just engulf you it is one of those experiences in life that you can never put the right combination of words together to make others understand how it feels to happen.

Have a great day
