Life comes at us fast. We all gotta be faster.

IT’S CHRISTMASSSSSS!!!! :DDDDDDDD
LISTEN TO SOME ABR INSTRUMENTAL AND LOVE IT!
LOVE IT NOW!

But when you come against my country
When you come against my family
You try to destroy my people
I can’t just stand by
There’s no way that I can stand by
This time, I will not stand by
I am coming, and if I come, then pain is coming with me
I’m coming, and pain will be with me

are all going to be there! :D

So now you try but the blade is primed to just cut you down again
To no avail, this fix divine was wrought to do you in

Seemingly endless, beckoning debt
Vacant and nameless, where is the end?
Aching just to endure again sweet loss
Abide again to feel
This is real

Just breathe
Suffer again
Look back
Stand in the wake and breathe
Wait for the end
Fight back
This isn’t over

One single touch will further crush your corrupted state of mind
You carve the way for regret to take you further down the line

Seemingly endless, beckoning debt
Vacant and nameless, where is the end?
Aching just to endure again sweet loss
Abide again to feel
This is real

Just breathe
Suffer again
Look back
Stand in the wake and breathe
Wait for the end
Fight back
This isn’t over

This isn’t over

Demon Hunter — Just Breathe

I shut my eyes in search for sleep
Tossed and turned in hope of dreams
Awakended by a voice that was so clear
It felt so near to me
I want you love i need your touch
I’ve been missing you so much
I reach out for your hand
And now it feels like i am falling
Down, down, down,
Till i kiss the ground, ground, ground

Falling with my face down
Giving up me, myself, and i
A bitter sweet taste to swallow my pride now
Face down where i stay now
If you see me standing up again
Just knock me back down so i can live face down
Face down

I’m on my face again
It’s where i should have been
Brings me back to where i found you
Where i first fell for you
No more depending on myself
It’s you and me and no one else
You stretch out your hand
And now it feels like i am falling into
Love, love, love
Can’t get enough of love

Falling with my face down
Giving up me, myself, and i
A bitter sweet taste to swallow my pride now
Face down where i stay now
If you see me standing up again
Just knock me back down so i can live face down
Face down

Family Force 5 — Face Down

Red — Death of Me

And if you see me losing ground
Don’t be afraid to lie
I know the pain inside my heart can’t break the fear inside of yours
And if you see me losing faith
In what it means to die
Don’t let me leave before I know what lies behind the stained glass doors

Save sorrow for the souls in doubt
Bleed every care out

Will you carry me down the aisle that final day
With your tears and cold hands shaking from the weight
When you lower me down beneath that sky of gray
Let the rain fall down and wash away your pain

For every word we never spoke
We have a tear to cry
For every silence like a wall between a better you and I
So if you see me losing sight
Of all the death in life
You’ll find the peace in every time I failed to see the death in mine

Let all the fear inside you drown
Tear out the blade and lay it down
Save sorrow for the souls in doubt
Bleed every care out

Will you carry me down the aisle that final day
With your tears and cold hands shaking from the weight
When you lower me down beneath that sky of gray
Let the rain fall down and wash away your pain

Oh, the blood is rushing out
Oh, I’m better off without
Oh, the walls are closing in
Oh, sing for me again

Will you carry me down the aisle that final day
With your tears and cold hands shaking from the weight
When you lower me down beneath that sky of gray
Let the rain fall down and wash away your pain
(Rain down, oh rain down, no care for the flood)

Demon Hunter — Carry Me Down

This song, although seemingly very sad and depressing, is in actuality a love letter to my friends and family. It is essentially something that I would want them all to know if I were to die. I ask my true friends to carry my casket down the aisle, and as they lay me into the ground, not to mourn for my soul, but rather rejoice for my salvation.

Death can be viewed as a very negative thing, but for Christians, it is where we find our true hope. Death is never something I would take lightly or toy with, but to address it I think can be very revealing. If you never spoke of the reality of death, you would be ignoring such an important part of life. This song asks my friends and family to “save sorrow for the souls in doubt,” for they know that my soul is safe.

Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.
-Isaiah 57:2

Some of you need to hear this for the first time,
and so this is from our hearts…
The Kingdom of God is for the burnouts, the broken, and the broke,
the drug addicts, the divorced, the HIV positive,
the herpes-ridden, the hopeless,
for the outcasts that have been created by the church,
and for the outcasts of our society that have been created by us.

The Kingdom of God is for the brain damaged, the incurably ill, for the barren,
for the pregnant too many times, and the pregnant at the wrong time.
This is for the over-employed, the underemployed,
the unemployable, and the unemployed.
This is for the swindled, the shoved aside, the left aside,
the replaced, the incompetent, and the stupid.
This is for the emotionally starved and the emotionally dead.

The Kingdom of God is for the bigoted, the murderers, the child molesters,
the brutals, the drug lords, the terrorists, the perverted, the raging alcoholics,
over consumers, the incredibly ugly, the dumb, the ignorant, the starving,
the filled, and the filthy rich.

The Kingdom of God is for everyone and the Kingdom of God is for me.
