Finding the Gospel

Take a long hard look at my face

Take away the things I can’t replace

Take my heart, go on take it away

I’ve got nothing to say

Take away this sense of regret

Take the things I need to forget

Take the mistakes I haven’t made yet

They’re all I have left

I don’t want to be the one who lets you down

All I did was run myself around

I wish I could have seen through your eyes

Maybe then I would have realized

I’m the only one who’s bleeding

For the things I never needed

The things I never needed

Take a good long look at yourself

Take the weight off everyone else

Take the hardest blow that was dealt

It’s all on your shoulders

The Gospel comes through loud and clear sometimes, and there it was, playing on Pandora on my Black Keyes station. A new artist I discovered, and added because I thought she sounds kind of like a country version of the Black Keyes. Aaron and I have made a game out of this: the objective being finding the most references to the Gospel hidden in the secular world around us - movies, music, television, billboards, newspaper and online written material.
