Most of the time others say it better!

A lot of times other people say what I'm thinking much better than I can. This has happened twice today. One from the Almighty God Himself and the other from a band. First, I was trying to think of how to express that I am glad justice has been served, but it is still horrible that someone has died, especially without knowing God. I hold true to what the Bible says, "As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live."- Ezekiel 33:11


The second occurred while I was out running. I am so thankful that God has provided this venue for me to share my story with others. SO many people have responded and opened themselves up! I was trying to figure out a way to express how I understood what one person in particular was going through and this song, by DC Talk started playing on my trusty pink iPod. Below are the lyrics and a YouTube video (video is not that great...)


In the Light


I keep trying to find a life
On my own, apart from You
I am the king of excuses
I've got one for every selfish thing I do 

What's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior 

(chorus)
I wanna be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation
Cause all I want is to be in the Light
All I want is to be in the Light 

The disease of self runs through my blood
It's a cancer fatal to my soul
Every attempt on my behalf has failed
To bring this sickness under control 

Tell me, what's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior 


Honesty becomes me
[There's nothing left to lose]
The secrets that did run me
[In Your presence are defused]
Pride has no position
[And riches have no worth]
The fame that once did cover me
[Has been sentenced to this Earth]
Has been sentenced to this Earth 

Tell me, what's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior 

[There's no other place that I want to be]
[No other place that I can see]
[A place to be that's just right]
[Someday I'm gonna be in the Light]
[You are in the Light]
[That's where I need to be]
[That's right where I need to be]
