I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin’ insane
Tryin’ to walk through
The pain
When I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah,I thought I could leave but couldn’t get out the door
I was so sick and tired
Of livin’ a lie
I was wishin that I
Would die
It’s Amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
It’s Amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you’ll be alright
It’s Amazing
And I’m sayin’ a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
That one last shot’s a Permanent Vacation
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life’s a journey not a destination
And I just can’t tell just what tomorrow brings
You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn’t listen to all that righteous talk, oh yeah
I was out on the street,
Just tryin’ to survive
Scratchin’ to stay
Alive
This song doesn’t come from a christian band or a group with overly spiritual themes. Maybe that’s why it speaks to me so much. Too many times Christians sing songs that are borderline to a fantasy world, when the reality is that all of us go through a lot of suffering and pain. Life is not easy and it’s good to know that through all our sins, our pain and our desperation God still cares for us. It’s crazy how in the hard times of my life a song like this has helped me see the light.
If you are going through a hard time, a time of desperation and pain, hang on, tomorrow will be a bright new day.
