Reflections...

At the moment I should be doing my major Youthwork assignment for the semester, but alas procrastination is a part of me! I was scanning my iTunes list when I found the below song, was pretty much my favourite song a few years back, can't believe I forgot about it! Kinda good too seeing as my assignment is on my values in youthwork
Matthew 5:43-44



Paradigm - All Together Separate

Everybody loves a rose,
But will you be thankful for the thorns?
Love is easy when you're loved,
But do you curse another when you're alone?

Chorus:
Oh, I give my life to You
so I can gain it back again
Oh, I stand solid
while the paradigm is shifting

You say live and let live,
But people are dying everyday
And you say what I don't know won't hurt me
But if what I do not know
is the very thing I need,
then I say...

Humanity sees truth
through a shattered window pane
That blocks the view,
And plants the seed
So we draw the curtains to close but I say
That the sun can still shine
behind a closed mind
And sticks and stones do hurt
When tossed from the tongue of mankind
