Untouchable

Sometimes we're all a little untouchable, especially emotionally. Hardened by sin, heavy with grief, blinded by selfishness or just not ourselves with versions of pms, pmt or "that time of the month." Music has the capacity to reach and commune with me. Even when i'm spiritually lacking because of laziness, the spirit touches my soul as people sing their songs of praise. This song has left an indelible impression on me. Proud people don't pray for guidance, or to know the will of the Father. Those types of prayers are rare for me, and that saddens me. I'm constantly under the assumption that I know better. The stupidity in that line of thinking is just an epic understatement. Daily making the same bad choices, weekly concreting those same bad habits, monthly reflecting on the frustrations, yearly lamenting on what could of been. Torture really. The lack of faith has left me relying on theory instead of sure knowledge and divine foreordination.






Better than I (lyrics)

I thought I did what’s right
I thought I had the answers
I thought I chose the surest road
But that road brought me here

So I put up a fight
And told you how to help me
Now just when I have given up
The truth is coming clear

You know better than I
You know the way
I’ve let go the need to know why
For you know better than I

If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowing I don’t know
Is part of getting through

I try to do what’s best
And faith has made it easy
To see the best thing I can do
Is put my trust in you

For You know better than I
You know the way
I’ve let go the need to know why
For you know better than I

I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky
I saw a bird and thought that I could follow
But it was you who taught that bird to fly
If I let you reach me will you teach me

For You know better than I
You know the way
I’ve let go the need to know why
I’ll take what answers you supply
You know better than I
