And by this summer I meant November

"Yet when we are faithless, ..."

Keith Green had some interesting theology from time to time, but he also wrote some, to use the colloquial phrase, 'powerful' lyrics. A small smattering from this evening's musings:

Lord, the feelings are not the same,
I guess I’m older, I guess I’ve changed.
And how I wish it had been explained, that as you’re growing you must remember,
That nothing lasts, except the grace of god, by which I stand, in jesus.
I know that I would surely fall away, except for grace, by which I’m saved.
Lord, I remember that special way,
I vowed to serve you, when it was brand new.
But like peter, I can’t even watch and pray, one hour with you,
And I bet, I could deny you too.
But nothing lasts, except the grace of god, by which I stand, in jesus.
I’m sure that my whole life would waste away, except for grace, by which I’m saved.
But nothing lasts, except the grace of god, by which I stand, in jesus.
I know that I would surely fall away, except for grace, by which I’m saved.


I keep trying to forget this grace. Tragic, eh? Emotions will pass away, feelings come and go, and this grace remains but I treat it as though it's not there. I need to remember the Lord, Jonah-style. I just want a genuine faith, more then feeling as though I believe despite myself. I suppose perhaps that's just another way of revealing the grace of God: I certainly wouldn't have any faith right now without His help. More ramblings to come later.
