Something's Got to Change...

I sat down at the computer this morning intent on trying to articulate some of the issues that have been filling my head up but I wasn't sure where to start or how to get it to make sense outside of my head. I started filling up a new playlist on Playlist.com with some Christian songs, to replace the sappy love songs that were only fueling my problems, and I came across this song - "Something's Got to Change" by Josh Wilson and it kind of expressed what I'm trying to overcome. So instead of trying to explain it all right now..I'm going to share the lyrics with you!

I'm also reading "Crazy Love" and realizing more and more how self-centered my life is and it's crazy to realize how the majority of my thoughts each day are focused on...well..me...sad huh?

So here's the song..and once I get more skilled at navigating this blogging stuff - I'll try and put the song here too



I'm thirsty, God, I'm thirsty
From drinking what destroys me
I'm pouring poison in my cup



I'm hungry, God, I'm hungry
Consuming what controls me
Somehow it never fills me up



We all want to find something to pass the time
But that could never be enough
Everybody says we're all so different
But everybody knows we're all the same
We're all trying to find a pill to numb the pain
Something's got to change

Do you remember when you had so much hope within you
It lingers deep inside you still



The more of us we swallow
The more we become hollow
Until we don't know how to feel



We all want to find something to satisfy
But we could never be enough
When everything we say and take just leads to war and hate
We only pass the blame, sedate the pain, and move along
But something feels so wrong, so deep inside, so hard to hide
So desperately we try and try, and come to find that we are not what we've been looking for



I can't believe I'm hearing people say that all is well
I think it's time we all admit we have no good within ourselves'
Cause we are not okay, we're not alright, and we need to pray for help
Forgive us for our pride, Oh God, Oh God, please save us from ourselves
