Tuesday Tune: Losing

These words speak for themselves.  Take a minute -- listen, read, absorb.

"Losing"

Tenth Avenue North

I can't believe what she said

I can't believe what he did

Oh, don't they know it's wrong

Don't they know it's wrong.

Well maybe there's something I missed

But how could they treat me like this

It's wearing out my heart

The way they disregard

This is love or this is hate

We all have a choice to make.

Oh, Father won't You forgive them

They don't know what they've been doin'

Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them

Cause I feel like the one losin'

Well it's only the dead that can live

But still I wrestle with this

To lose the pain that's mine

Seventy times seven times

Cause Lord it doesn't feel right

For me to turn a blind eye

Though I guess it's not that much

When I think of what You've done.

This is love or this is hate.

We gotta a choice to make

Oh Father, won't You forgive them

They don't know what they've been doin'

Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them

Cause I feel like the one losin'

Why do we think that our hate's gonna break a hard heart?

We're rippin' arms over wars that don't need to be fought

Cause pride won't let us lay our weapons on the ground

We build our bridges up but it's just to burn them down

We think our pain is own apologies and get them to stop

Well truth be told it doesn't matter if they're sorry or not

Cause freedom come when we surrender to the sound

Of Your mercy and Your grace, Father, send Your angels down.

Oh Father, won't you forgive them

They don't know what they've been doin'

Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them

Cause I feel like the one losin'

I feel like I've been losin'

Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them

Cause I feel like the one losin'

Tuesday Tune: He Said.

This is one of those songs that I heard over and over and over again ... it was just a melody.  I never paid attention to the words until one morning.  I was driving to work, and I heard, "...and I might let you bend, but I won't let you break..."  Whoa.  When you're having a morning where you're feeling completely overwhelmed (which tends to be the story of my life lately), hearing those words is like getting a big hug from a loved one.  It's comforting.  It's warmth.  It's peace of mind.  Ever since that morning, the message behind today's tune has been one that consistently rings in my ears. 

Happy Tuesday!

"He Said"

by Group 1 Crew

So your life feels like it don't make sense,

And you think to yourself 'I'm a good person'.

So why do things keep happening?

Why you gotta deal with them?

You may be knocked down now,

But don't forget what He said, He said.

I won't give you more, more then you can take

And I might let you bend, but I won't let you break

And no, I'll never ever let you go.

Don't you forget what He said.

Who you are ain't what you're going through

So don't let it get the best of you.

'Cause God knows everything you need,

So you ain't gotta worry.

You may be knocked down now,

But just believe what He said, He said.

I won't give you more, more then you can take,

And I might let you bend, but I won't let you break

And no, I'll never ever let you go.

Don't you forget what He said.

Don't fear when you go through the fire,

Hand on when it's down to the wire;

Stand tall, and remember what He said.

I won't give you more, more then you can take

And I might let you bend, but I won't let you break...

I won't give you more, more then you can take

And I might let you bend, but I won't let you break

And no, I'll never ever let you go.

Don't you forget what He said.

Tuesday Tune: Nu Thang.

For this week's Tuesday Tune, we're taking it back to 1990.  I actually woke up this morning and as I was scrolling Twitter's home page, I saw where someone had written "God is doing a new thing".  My mind instantly took me to the below song, and it's been stuck in my head ever since.  I remember this song like it was yesterday.

Amazing how far these guys have come since they first started.  I'm still a huge fan of all of DC Talk's music, but have probably morphed into an even bigger fan of TobyMac.  Matter of fact, I think he'll be a Tuesday Tune next week.  Until then, feast your ears on this one.

In honor of the late Whitney Houston ... this was the first song that came to my mind when I decided to post today's Tuesday Tune.  Happy Valentines Day!
