WHITE.
I'll talk about a few things today.
If I Die Young (The Band Perry) - Sam Tsui Cover
If I die young, bury me in satinDeath is actually a closed topic to most people. but of course. this regards our own morality, that it's no wonder most of us shun it.
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time
And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little, cold finger, I've
Never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there's a
Boy here in town who says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well,
I've had, just enough time
A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
but as i read 1 Corinthians 11, there was a part about the Lord Supper. it's a familiar paragraph, we have often heard the anchoring pastor recite this before the Supper. But one verse struck me different this time.
1 Corinthians 11:26
Doesn't it struck you as provoking, that the very basis of our faith is the Death of the Messiah, no less. Since as Christians we proclaim His death, then i see no reason the fear death at all.
that said, this song doesn't sound as bleak as the first time. it's like some sort of last words, to actually comfort those left behind. but something about this very song struck me as different. i mean, there are a lot of songs out there talking about death, but in a way these lyrics have some sort of defiance towards the normality of death that attract me. it's the frankness and seriousness which the writer has placed into thinking and composing this song that caught me.
whatever it is, i resolve this to be the first song i learn on guitar. once i learn the guitar.
oh, talking about the guitar, at least i'm remembering a few of the chords (i know i sound really noob and pathetic) but i know nuts about strumming an entire song so i need help. anyone.
this time last year can be found in the post labels, check it out, it's a far cry from where i am now. if you had asked me last year where would i be in this same date, i would have told you school or something. but i guess it's safe to say i've changed, for the better at least.
Labels: birthday, my God is good to me.
♥ I'VE GOT HEAVEN ON THE INSIDE OF ME.
peace and joy God has set me free.
