blog/block in my mind
(an attempt at sounding philosophical here.. haha)
i realise that i like reading people’s blogs, yet do not like writing on my own. i’ve been blog-surfing and enjoying understanding people from their posts, but never really came back to this space to write something. i guess partly it’s due to the reason that i write rather slowly, needing some time to process my thoughts and picture how to best write out the post in a lucid manner. i don’t just want to write a random incomprehensible post leaving readers deciphering what i’m driving at, but one that is well-thought through, which makes sense and sheds light with clarity on the issues which i wish to bring across. the mechanical reporting of daily happenings just don’t seem to justify the purpose of this blog. it wasn’t meant to be a site for ramblings in the first place. even if it were so, i’m not satisfied with the way they were written.
ah well.. maybe i just lack the inspiration and the drive these days to post something. it has to be discovered once again, before my lack of passion for blogging forces this blog to its closure!
safe in a crazy world
Safe in a Crazy World by Corrinne May
I try to smile my tears away
I try to keep my cool
Oh but one more door gets in my way
I feel like such a fool
Trampled and bitter
My heart just wants to bleed and stop
Believing in me
It feels like nothing is for certain
and that nothing comes for free
When they’re lowering the curtain
to the theatre of my dreams
I stumble and I crumble and I’m
Sinking to my knees but you
You cradle me
You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength
to believe in me again
Noise keeps chasing me
No matter where I go
Oh and life likes pretending that it’s
On a TV show
When it’s hard to tell what’s real
From what the world just wants to preach
You are the voice I seek
You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
’cause when I’m wrapped up in your arms
Nothing else can touch me
What a wonderful way to recharge
I feel like I can breathe again
You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength
to believe in me again
i don’t really post up song lyrics usually.. but i was just praying to God about something related, and this song came to me. corrinne’s songs are always so soothing and therapeutic, if i may say. and i like it that song lyrics help to express ourselves, speaking from the deepest of our hearts. indeed, we all need Jesus to keep ourselves safe in this crazy world. i am not the strongest person; i fail and am weak. and there is nothing which i can boast about that does not belong to Him already. and that’s why i need His strength and grace all the more each day, to bring me through, to keep myself safe in His arms. when i’m tempted to give up, let me be reminded that all i need can be found in Him alone, and there is hope 🙂
He leads me beside quiet waters
