Faith is A Lonely Road

Here are some lyrics that just came to my mind. They seemed appropriate somehow.


Mad At The World – Seasons of Love

Sometimes love is all we need
It takes an empty day and makes it go away
and happiness is falling down from the sky
but sometimes when love ends it takes your happiness
and traps it in a cell where only dead men dwell
but don't believe that's how it has to be
it's a lie

These are the seasons of love
They leave you cold and dry the day you say goodbye
and then love feels like a fairy-tale
Another rusted coin in a wishing well
But deep in the seasons of love
there is a reason why
you'll see it if you try
The voice inside of the wind
is Jesus telling you that love can see you through again

I recall how I felt inside
A sea of loneliness became the tears I cried
I was freezing from the wind and snow and the rain
but still I'm gonna have the faith that someday when the storm has passed
I'm gonna find that dream of a love that lasts
then tomorrow will be worth the price of today

These are the seasons of love
They leave you cold and dry the day you say goodbye
and then love feels like a fairy-tale
Another rusted coin in a wishing well
But deep in the seasons of love
there is a reason why
you'll see it if you try
The voice inside of the wind
is Jesus telling you that love can see you through again

First comes the seed, then it's sown, and it's living, then it's grown
Soon a flower will appear
but the end is getting near
and the wind will blow and take the seeds far away
but in the changes yet to come
and the songs yet to be sung
though I might not understand
I believe there is a plan Jesus open up my eyes and show me the way...


Mad At the World – Faith Is A Perfect Road

Turn to the left, & you might cry
Or turn to the right & and maybe you’ll die
Life’s a game of win or lose
But don’t complain, its up to you to choose

The winds of the world are blowing strong
It fills the air, with fun & despair
Shallow ways, thru lonely days
But another road, is calling out your name!

Faith is a lonely road,
& sometimes faith can leave you standing out on your own
But faith is a perfect road
& the gates of hell cannot prevail, God will lead you home
Don’t give up! I know its cold, but His silent eyes are watching you

So many roads, in front of me
& all but one, are my enemies
Deep in the storm, of frozen rain
The road of faith, is shown to me again




Well...faith is a lonely road, isn't it? Those who walk it...you know. Do any of us walk the road of faith, by choice? Or do we walk the road of faith, becuz there is no other road to walk? Becuz nothing else in life works. Becuz when life doesn't work for us no matter what way we try, we are left cold and empty and alone, with just us and our faith in God left; to do anything BUT walk the road of faith, is to sit down in the darkness and die.

The faith-walk hurts. It isn't fun. It isn't easy. Sometimes, it feels okay. And sometimes, it feels like breathing in a lung full of nails. It feels like you are shredding your entire being, trying to have faith. Faith does not come naturally. Faith comes from God, and knowing Who He is. God grants us faith. And, living by faith, seems to slowly suck the very life out of the rest of your body - it kills everything natural about you, and painfully replaces it with the spiritual.

Would you walk this road of faith with me? Would you dare to? Would you walk beside me, and uphold me? Like Moses over the battle, would you grab my arms and raise them up when the weariness is too much for me? Would you offer your support of me in this extremely troubling time in my life, and pray that God would bless me in spite of myself?

Faith is a lonely road...

But it is the only road i have left, so I will walk it.
