Wow, all this time I had no idea that as a nonbeliever in my 20's back then, I was listening to a song that somehow felt different than all the other rock songs and its because this band is a Chrsitian band. Now having been a born again Christian since 3 years ago, I listen to the lyrics and it all makes sense in a way that I couldn't understand before.
When I was 9 my dads youngest brother took his own life he was 19 years old this was his favorite song a few months later my dads other brother was found dead rip John Thomas Hudson September 1st 1991-febuary 28th 2011 Jeremy wayne Hudson January 28th 1977-June 2nd 2011
We were meant to live for SO MUCH more! We've all done this, we have all tried to fill ourselves with the luxuries of this world to satisfy our happiness. We eat, drink, smoke, enjoy pleasure, etc. But what does it leave us with except emptiness! That's because that hole we are trying to fill in ourselves is a God sized hole, it's infinite and finite things of earth do not fill it. Only God's vastness can fill us with meaning. We were meant to live with Him in Heaven but unfortunately due to original sin we have been exiled to a world that is broken a world full of unhappiness and suffering. That is why Jesus came down, He came down to experience the ultimate suffering upon the cross during his beating, scourging, carrying of His cross, and ultimately hanging on it for 3 hours in agony to show us HOW MUCH HE LOVES US! "No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." - John 15:13. And then on the 3rd day he victoriously rose from the dead to prove that death has no power over Him and to open the gates of Heaven for us. In His death He gives us a second chance at starting over. I know, I'm living a new life because of Him and His Church. When I converted to Catholicism and made my first confession it was relieving to have the burden of years of sins be taken off of my shoulders. He WANTS to take that from all His children. If you're reading this, God has been calling to you reaching out his hand like the painting "The Creation of Adam". However, He will never force your free will so it is still our choice to turn to Him and trust in His love for us. Remember this, when Jesus rose from the dead He wasn't angry seeking revenge on the people who killed Him (which was caused by us and our sins). He appeared to His disciples and said "Peace be with you" - John 20:19. That peace, which only God can give, He wants for you too. Are you willing to be forgiven? If so, I hope you will find your way to His true Church, the Catholic Church, and be brought back home through God's loving Providence.
Right on brother I’m glad you made it through.. These guys are an interesting band they’re very spiritual and religious-based they don’t talk about God necessarily but. Their lyrics are very inspirational.. Keep hanging in there remember you’re never alone..
They were OK before she showed how much of a pro-Communist, mash brained fkn liberal moron she is. What a clueless, dumb skank. Fkn wanna be dudes are the worst. She's the type of skank to step up to a dude and when she gets knocked on her ass, all of a sudden she's pro-the system she claims to be against, and is the first to call the MEN cops to cry victim. What a fkn clown.
I listen to this when I think about this world has become and how our existence is now just working until we die and start crying. I hope one day we can escape.
I used to hear this as a kid. Now I’m a grown man with a family and I’m sitting in my work truck right now just fucking crying my eyes out to this song. And nobody will ever know that outside these comments. Fuck this shit hits hard when your older
