Hey Everyone,Thanks to the lovely amount of homework I have to accomplish before Spring Break, I once again need to keep this short and sweet. The lyrics I am posting is to a song by Christian Rock group Building 429. The song is called Above It All, a song which has been very encouraging to me over the past couple of weeks. It deals with the attitude we have vs. the attitude we should have during difficult situations. Interesting Tidbit: Building 429 took their name from the verse Ephesians 4:29 (hence 429). The verse reads: "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." Hence the "Building". I cannot find a location to listen to the song, but if you have Rhapsody you should be able to hear it for free. I would strongly suggest taking a few minutes to listen to it. It is so encouraging.
Oh I'm waiting for the answer to the question in my soul
Lord why did You lead me here?
Because I, I take a look around and a desperate world surrounds me
And I know I'm not of this place, but it's here and in my face
And all that I am wants to run
Well God I feel helpless and undone
Lift me up above it all
I'm feeling broken and alone
Don't let me turn to stone
Lift my heart above it all
Because I've lost my hope tonight
And I'm praying for the strength to carry on
Lord will You lift me up above it all
Above it all
Now I'm waiting for a glimpse of hope in an eye
But a flash of sunlight shows a faded gray
Because these streets are hard and cold
And the alleys burn like coal with a stench of helplessness
And all the life that's been misspent
And all that I am wants to run
God I feel helpless and undone
Lift me up above it all
I'm feeling broken and alone
Don't let me turn to stone
Lift my heart above it all
Because I've lost my hope tonight
And I'm praying for the strength to carry on
Lord will You lift me up above it all
Well above it all
*Bridge*
Maybe I'm not supposed to fly
Cause Maybe You want me here tonight
To lift them up above it all
When they're broken and alone
Don't let me turn to stone
Lift them up above it all
Because they cannot stand alone
And they're praying for the strength to carry on
Lift us up above it all
When we're broken and alone
Don't let us turn to stone
Lift us up above it all
Because we cannot stand alone
And we're praying for the strength to carry on
Lord will You lift us up above it all
