There is a song on the radio that gets a lot of air play. Called Demons by Imagine Dragons. I posted the lyrics. I have been chewing on these words for a while now and I keep thinking of Matthew 25, where The Lord tells people , if you took care of the least of these then you took care of me...and if you didn't, well..you're in deep doo doo
When the days are cold ( they are, people are more self centered than ever)
And the cards all fold ( they will, the old world church fails to see the need for change)
And the saints we see (tv stars, pro athletes, rock stars, TV evangelists)
Are all made of gold (they base their worth on material, as do many)
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail (all icons of this world fail or fall
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale
I wanna hide the truth (James says, "it is a sin to know what to do and not do it") ouch that hurts me!
I wanna to shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide (God says every single person will be held accountable)
No matter what we breed (talk is cheap in homes, churches and everywhere)
We still are made of greed (94% of the world doesnt own a car)
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
When the curtain's call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you've made
Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound (many refuse to believe in Jesus)
Though this is all for you
Don't want to hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
They say it's what you make ( every day we have an opportunity to be what God calls us to be, but we turn a deaf ear because it's too uncomfortable, too peculiar, to different from the lives our friends and family live.....)
