yup
READ THESE LYRICS DO NOT SKIP THEM!! THEY'RE AWESOME!!!
Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today,
feelin so small
Cause when I take a look around
Everybody seems so strong
I know they'll soon discover
That I don't belong
So I tuck it all away,
like everything's okay
If I make them all believe it,
maybe I'll believe it too
So with a painted grin,
I play the part again
So everyone will see me
the way that I see them
Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain on our stained glass masquerade
Is there anyone who's been there
Are there any hands to raise
Am I the only one who's traded
In the altar for a stage
The performance is convincing
And we know every line by heart
Only when no one is watching
Can we really fall apart
But would it set me free
If I dared to let you see
The truth behind the person
That you imagine me to be
Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain on our stained glass masquerade
Would your arms be open
Or would you walk away
Would love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay
Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain on our stained glass masquerade
Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today,
feelin so small
This is such a great song performed by Casting Crowns -- you can check them out at http://www.castingcrowns.com
This song is awesome because it explains what, if you're the average person, people like you and me go through everyday. I often find myself comparing myself to others and wondering how my life could be better. I often look at people who seem perfect and look like they have their lives together and think, I want that, I want to be able to go around and be perfect and have a perfect happy life. Truth is, no one will ever be perfect, it's impossible. I have been trying to accept myself for who I am and what God made me to be. It has somewhat worked so far except for the occasional comparisons to people who are prettier or smarter or "better". My hope in my relationship with God is that he will use me to minister to people about my faith and my beliefs in hopes that they will get closer to God. I'm not really sure about the road God's leading me on, and how I will someday minister to people, so I ask for your prayers that God will show me how to minister (because I have no idea how), where to minister (because i dont have a clue), for strength to minister and to be open to people (cause I'm not really that good in front of lots of people). Thanks you guys!! If you have ANY prayer requests, I dont care what it is (unless its something you know is pointless and you KNOW that I would think it was pointless {for example praying to have your hair grow longer} uh, no), TELL ME! and I will pray for you.
God Bless You!
