“Shame”

Another old favorite of mine, “Shame” by Crystavox, came up in my play list today. It’s a great song about the divide we make in our lives. On one side, we have our daily life, and on the other, we have our faith. At any rate, the chorus says this,

So many times we’ve crucified the gift God gave us all
So many times we magnify the things that make us fall
Over and over, we’ve pulled away in shame
Our work leaves out Jesus and He receives the blame
And I think He’s crying

The bridge tells us

It’s impossible to travel when we’ve thrown away the keys
We can not feed the forest until we fight our own disease

It’s a great reminder that we need to be serious about our faith, actively pursuing it every day, and to be on our guard against a careless, hypocritical lifestyle.
