It's that thing that runs through your mind on a daily basis...
The nagging, unprecedented uncertainty lingering around every turn you take, every choice you make...
We run this race called life so hard, that sometimes we miss the point, the angels that give us hope and make the race easier to take on...perhaps easier to run...
As you gaze upon the vastness of the next blue sky, or star filled sky, take a moment to remember why you're here...don't take this thing called life for granted, embrace every moment, embrace every memory...

Have you got it in you?
Have you got it in you?
Yeah, you!!!
How many times have you sat at the very place you are sitting now…how many times have you stared at the screen in front of you…how long have you been waiting to act instead of react???
Have you got it in you?
Why do we talk, but never act…why do we speak, but never listen…why do we have fear and never overcome it???
Have you got it in you?
STOP YOUR HESITATION...

Oh my God...
Lyrics to songs are sometimes parallel to life; they reflect at times, what we might be thinking, yet haven't spoken...this song, by Jars of Clay does just that. It's a cry, it's a plea, it's something relevant to this moment...this time...it's called 'Oh my God'...
Oh my God, look around this place
Your fingers reach around the bone
You set the break and set the tone
Flights of grace, and future falls
In present pain
All fools say, "Oh my God"
Oh my God, Why are we so afraid?
We make it worse when we don't bleed
There is no cure for our disease
Turn a phrase, and rise again
Or fake your death and only tell your closest friend
Oh my God.
Oh my God, can I complain?
You take away my firm belief and graft my soul upon your grief
Weddings, boats and alibis
All drift away, and a mother cries
Liars and fools; sons and failures
Thieves will always say
Lost and found; ailing wanderers
Healers always say
Whores and angels; men with problems
Leavers always say
Broken hearted; separated
Orphans always say
War creators; racial haters
Preachers always say
Distant fathers; fallen warriors
Givers always say
Pilgrim saints; lonely widows
Users always say
Fearful mothers; watchful doubters
Saviors always say
Sometimes I cannot forgive
And these days, mercy cuts so deep
If the world was how it should be, maybe I could get some sleep
While I lay, I dream we're better,
Scales were gone and faces light
When we wake, we hate our brother
We still move to hurt each other
Sometimes I can close my eyes,
And all the fear that keeps me silent falls below my heavy breathing,
What makes me so badly bent?
We all have a chance to murder
We all feel the need for wonder
We still want to be reminded that the pain is worth the thunder
Sometimes when I lose my grip, I wonder what to make of heaven
All the times I thought to reach up
All the times I had to give
Babies underneath their beds
Hospitals that cannot treat all the wounds that money causes,
All the comforts of cathedrals
All the cries of thirsty children - this is our inheritance
All the rage of watching mothers - this is our greatest offense
Oh my God...
Oh my God, look around this place
Your fingers reach around the bone
You set the break and set the tone
Flights of grace, and future falls
