[this was taken in june/july of last year on mission trip.]
so i have been debating on whether or not to post this one. because the lyrics to this song that i want to share may or may not offend people. but i feel like it is time now that i put this up. but first let me share what God has laid on my heart to share.
here we have a torn and tattered shoe, not two shoes, just ONE.
will we ever have enough love to buy a new pair of shoes for someone?
or will we just walk on by not caring?
as christians we are supposed to care for those who are in need.
Matthew 25:40
40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’
so have you acted like a REAL christian or have you forgotten that this world is so messed up and needs help?
i could not agree more with these lyrics.
a lot of people rather comfort themselves than comfort someone who is simply crying.
i do not know whether to laugh or cry at how blind people are to the pain and destruction of this world.
when will people wake up and realize something needs to be done?
actually the real question is when will people start to CARE?
Land of Confusion by Genesis
I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street.
Now did you read the news today
They say the dangers gone away
But I can see the fires still alight
There burning into the night.
Theres too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Cant you see
This is a land of confusion.
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth living in.
Ooh superman where are you now
When every things gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour.
This is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But theres not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth living in.
I remember long ago -
Ooh when the sun was shining
Yes and the stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago -
I wont be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
Were not just making promises
That we know, well never keep.
Too many men
Theres too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Cant you see
This is a land of confusion.
Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for.
This is the world we live in
And these are the names were given
Stand up and lets start showing
Just where our lives are going to.
