I happened to stumble upon a chapel last night.
And I can’t help but back up when I think of what’s happens inside.
I got friends locked in boxes. And no way to live.
But you call it a sin. Isn’t up to them.
After all, after all I thought we were all your children,
But I will die for my own sins thanks a lot.
We’ll raise up ourselves thanks for nothing at all, so up off the ground up for fathers who are nothing but dust now.

Fun. - One Foot

This breaks my heart. I know I’ve spoken on the topic before, but this song just utterly and entirely breaks my heart. Telling my Jesus that His death wasn’t enough. Telling my Jesus that His sacrifice isn’t wanted.

My heart is burdened for those filled with such hatred towards my God and King. It’s one thing to not believe in Him, but another entirely to point your finger into the heavens crying out “Thank you for nothing at all.”

instead of judging this guy, I would like I encourage you to try and hear the heart behind this song, because I fear that a lot of times we see songs like this that artists have put their hearts into and fail I hear them the way Jesus does. I do not hear why the people above me hear. I ear instead an echo of my own heart, which longs for acceptance and love and honor. I have found all of those thing in Jesus but just because I have found doesn’t mean others aren’t still searching. And often, people look to the church to be example of Christ and we fail miserably. And to me, that is what, more than anything, this song speaks to. We really need to put our personal feelings aside and represent Christ instead of getting offended when we see that others are disappointed in what they have found so far. I guarantee you that Jesus is no offended or put off by things like this. What does break His heart, however, are those people who have claimed to e representing Him, but who have missed the mark in loving their neighbor. Less judgment, more love. Christianity is not a club.

Beautifully said.
