about

We spend a good portion of our lives wearing masks, hiding what's below the surface, afraid of what others will say or think if somehow they found out the “real truth.” And so we build communities and relationships without authenticity... without safety... without reality. We all know we're all imperfect, but what if we were bold enough to embrace that... to risk living authentically? Could we experience a richness of relationships never before imagined? Could we experience community in a way that absolutely pales in comparison to what we've called “community”? Yes. Will you and I be bold, though, and risk everything on that?

"We need to learn to disagree well, and laugh and spar together as we run after God's dream." - Shane Claiborne

lyrics

THE BORDERLINE
Jon Simpson © 2009 BugNog Music (ASCAP)

above the waterline
exposed for all the world to view
we place out cautiously
a piece of me, a piece of you

but diving down below
the placid surface of the deep
reveals the secret things
security we work to keep

i'm standing on the borderline
where hearts engage, where thoughts entwine
and i'm calling, i'm calling
come share some time, commune with me

hidden from our eyes
with masks we carefully conceive
believing we disguise
our desperate state, how great our need

oh how long until “me” turns to “you”
and away from the pride that turns time to more wasted hours
our future depends on what we choose
we've got everything and nothing left to lose

meet me on the borderline
where hearts engage, where thoughts entwine
and i'm calling, i'm calling
come share some time, commune with me
