From the “Old” Days
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008 | Random Thoughts
I listened to Five Iron Frenzy‘s album, “Our Newest Album Ever!” today. It had been a long time since I heard their stuff, but it felt good to blast the old ska band in my classroom. My favorite song on the album is “Every New Day.” The last verse of the song moves me very deeply. In light of my current journey through selfish perfectionism and meeting my own unreasonable expectations, their words once again bring me to me knees…
Man versus himself, Man versus machine
Man versus the world, Mankind versus me.
The struggles go on, the wisdom I lack
The burdens keep piling up on my back.
So hard to breath, to take the next step.
The mountain is high, I wait in the depths.
Yearning for grace, and hoping for peace.
Dear God…INCREASE.
Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls once again.
Jesus Christ, light of the world burning bright within our hearts forever.
Freedom means love without condition, a beginning or an end.
Here’s my heart, let it be forever Yours,
only You can make every new day seem so new.
