When I first starting blogging on MySpace I wrote a post about the connection I feel between this song and the Book of Revelation. To me, it speaks of being honest with ourselves, of opening our hearts up and allowing God to shine light into our darkest areas, exposing us of all sin and lies. I believe that we need to be prepared for the day when we can no longer hide behind the shadows of candle light anymore. I pray that my own children will continue through life with their eyes wide open, their hands clean, and their hearts pure.
The new Heaven and the new Earth
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." -REV 21:4
"And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun: for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign forever." -REV 22:5
Somethin' filled up
my heart with nothin',
someone told me not to cry.
But now that I'm older,
my heart's colder,
and I can see that it's a lie.
Children wake up,
hold your mistake up,
before they turn the summer into dust.
If the children don't grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We're just a million little gods causin' rain storms turnin' every good thing to
rust.
I guess we'll just have to adjust.
With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin' to be
when the reaper he reaches and touches my hand.
With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin’
With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am, go-go, where I am
You'd better look out below
Thanks for the blog comment. I'm enjoying looking through your blog - we're kind of ridiculously similar - and I feel like it's hard sometimes to find people interested in Jesus AND organic. I even love Gilmore Girls, Etsy, Apartment Therapy, birds and I would also live in Anthropologie. Now I wish I would have gotten married in the woods. :) So...I also love your holiday tree. I've been thinking about doing something like that for awhile - with a tree or just vase of branches - is it a real tree?
ReplyDeleteour church is talking about similar things as in your post about the end times... we need to all wake up to what is going on in our world but at the same time, we should all be encouraged about what God has to say in Revelation and encourage one another. :)
