"These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." John 16:33
We went to the OPERA last night. We actually only stayed for the first half (didn't stay til the fat lady sang), but we needed to catch a ferry (I'm sure the fat lady would understand, especially if she lives in the PNW). The important thing is that we can now say that we went to a real, honest to goodness, opera!
Jesus, friend of sinners, we have strayed so far away We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing Jesus, friend of sinners, the truth's become so hard to see The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers Let our hearts be led by mercy Help us reach with open hearts and open doors Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yourshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9Kcm2OAWNA
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
