Musical Monday and Fictional Apologies

Alright, first I guess I'll start by saying that it's been a really rough week, and I'm sad to say that I think I'm going to have to (at least temporarily) discontinue my Fictional Friday posts. I do still plan to do the Musical Monday posts though, which brings me to my next point.

This has been a really rough week for me, but here I've got a song reminding us not to forget to turn our eyes toward God even when things are going great. There's the silly church sign saying, "Is God your steering wheel or your spare tire?" It is funny, but at the same time, there's some truth to it. Is He something you use to guide you at every turn in your life, or is he just something you pull out when something else you depend on stops working?

Seven Places - Even When Lyrics

This week, I prayed, one time
My phone, it rang, I put You on the other line
And now my thoughts they drift around
My knees remain unacquainted with the ground
Unless my faith is put to the test and I am forced to bow
Although I'm in this flesh it doesn't mean You shouldn't have the best
from me, from me

[Chorus:]
Even when my eyes are dry
even when my soul is tired
even when my hands are heavy, I will lift them up to Yu
It's not about how I feel, oh Lord I am here for Yu
I exist for you

I close my eyes but all I see
Is a background of black, bouncy squiggly lines
And this week's mistakes coming back to mind but
I will lift my voice and make a joyful sound
Forget about me, I only get me down
Although I cannot see it doesn't mean I shouldn't sing to You, to You

[Chorus]

You've given me Your life and have held mine together yet I find
Excuses to slouch in my pew
But when glory divine
Is sitting in my very presence, the least that I can do
Is give my all to You, give my all to You

[Chorus]
