about

This song is a part of my story. I could write pages about everything that's contained within and between these lines... but I'll stick to one thing:

I believe there is a part in each of us, at the very core of our being, that holds what we individually believe as true or false. Operating at a level deeper than the part of our brain that analyzes situations and then makes decisions, this part is what makes the call when we instantaneously say (whether in word or by action) “yes” or “no” or “I will do this” or “I will not do this.” These actions demonstrate what we TRULY believe, not what we do because we think it's what we're supposed to do, therefore it's incredibly important what we hold at that core part of us.

I'm amazed at the damage done and the hard work it's taken to overcome even little lies that I've unwittingly bought into over the course of my life. I've seen this so many times in others around me as well. So “if I love any lie, let it break this heart of mine...”

"To believe in something, and not live it, is dishonest." - Mohandas Gandhi

lyrics

KINGDOM COME
Jon Simpson © 2009 BugNog Music (ASCAP)

i'm finding out there are things that i thought i knew
that are better unlearned
because they've only served to blind me and keep me from
everything for which i've yearned

like an instrument silent so long it believes that it hasn't a song
i've been chained by the thought that whatever i've got's not enough

if i love any lie let it break this heart of mine
if it's gripped in my hand slip it through like grains of sand
'cause i don't want it if it's not part of Your Kingdom come

are we spending our time on things that don't matter now
not that they ever did
have we finally resigned that what's broken will never change
and in turn never live

every thing that we do in the life that we pursue
all means nothing if it's not fixed on what's lasting and true, so...

come throw wide the doors to reality
only the truth will set us free

no more time for games - not a wasted life
no more empty words - bring the dark to light
everything that i am, everything that i'm not
everything that i lack, everything that i've got
has been given by You, may for Your fame alone it be used
