Some Dangerous Lyrics

If you are a church goer, you should pay attention to the lyrics of the songs and hymns you sing. Sometimes, you are singing profound prayers to deepen your commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ. Your average church hymnal is just riddled with dangerous words. So are many of the better contemporary songs being done today. Why, here's one I just couldn't get out of my head after hearing it on the radio.

Looked down from a broken sky

Traced out by the city lights

My world from a mile high

Best seat in the house tonight

Touched down on the cold black top

Hold on for the sudden stop

Breath in the sudden shock

Of confusion and chaos

All these people going somewhere,

Why have I never cared?

Chorus:

Give me your eyes for just one second

Give me your eyes so I can see

Everything that I keep missing

Give me your love for humanity

Give me your arms for the broken hearted

Ones that are far beyond my reach

Give me your heart for the ones forgotten

Give me your eyes so I can see

Yeah, yeah

Step out on a busy street

See a girl and our eyes meet

Does her best to smile at me

To hide what's underneath

There's a man just to her right

Black suit and a bright red tie

Too ashamed to tell his wife

He's out of work

He's buying time

All those people going somewhere

Why have I never cared?

Chorus

I've been there a million times

A couple of million eyes

Just moving past me by

I'd swear I never thought that I was wrong

Well I want a second glance

So give me a second chance

To see the way you see the people all along

Chorus x2

Give me your eyes!

Lord give me your eyes!

Everything I keep missing

Give me your arms!

For the broken hearted

Give me your arms

Lord give me your eyes.

--Brandon Heath & Jason David Ingram

Here's a link to the artist's video on You Tube.

Here's another song--this is by Matthew West, called "The Motions"

This might hurt, it's not safe

But I know that I've gotta make a change

I don't care if I break,

At least I'll be feeling something

'Cause just okay is not enough

Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't wanna go through the motions

I don't wanna go one more day

without Your all consuming passion inside of me

I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,

"What if I had given everything,

instead of going through the motions?"

No regrets, not this time

I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind

Let Your love make me whole

I think I'm finally feeling something

'Cause just okay is not enough

Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions

I don't wanna go one more day

without Your all consuming passion inside of me

I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,

"What if I had given everything,

instead of going through the motions?"

take me all the way (take me all the way)

take me all the way ('cause I don't wanna go through the motions)

take me all the way (I know I'm finally feeling something real)

take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions

I don't wanna go one more day

without Your all consuming passion inside of me

I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,

"What if I had given everything,

instead of going through the motions?"

I don't wanna go through the motions

I don't wanna go one more day

without Your all consuming passion inside of me

I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,

"What if I had given everything,

instead of going through the motions?"

take me all the way (take me all the way)

take me all the way (I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go)

take me all the way (through the motions)

take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions

And here's his video, as posted on You Tube. In addition to having great words, this is a great rock anthem!

Listen and enjoy!
