| | I just thought I'd share this with anyone who cares to read this journal. It is from the Jimmy Needham cd "Speak." It's a pretty awesome cd. He has a jazzy feel I think in a lot of his songs and there are definitely a few songs from the cd that sound Maroon 5-ish. Anyway, the final track on the album is this poem written by him that just seemed to hit me as I was listening to it the other day. Reading it probably doesn't do it justice, so if you happen to seem me, you can ask me to hear it until I can find a place to host background music for my xanga again since what I was using before ended when my parents moved.
Benediction
No one is good there is not even one
The front pages of papers of children raped by rapists
Iraqi torture chambers and we the blamed claim we're blameless
Wrong all
And swelling up inside of us there's the pride in us this arrogance
And our only line of defense is the sense that
I'm not half as bad as this friend of mine so I must be fine
We mean well don't we
Yet I've never seen good intentions set a man free from
Hurt all
This poor unfortunate soul
Filling a single void with toy after toy girl after boy
How boring this wasn't meant to be Humanity's life story
Warring with God saying what have you done for me
Bought all
Hanging out for six hours marred beyong recognition
In complete submission to the Father's will still
A proclamation was made louder than the loudest temptation
With more beauty than all His creation
More eternal than enternity more angelic than the heavenlies
It is done you are bought with blood accept rejoice
For freedom has come
