Theme Song...a New One.

This week there have been a lot of different events that continue to sit and roll around in my head. I am not even sure how to process them so I think they will sit there until I do figure out how to process it all. I went to the Art, Music and Justice concert and left wanting to move to India or the Philippines to help with the recovery programs of the girls who come out of the underground sex slave operations. It's also where I found my new theme song for life (its below)

Wednesday I had TNT and was challenged in how I look/read/interpret/apply scripture. It was great, but I have a feeling its going to be there for a while. But; for now...here's my new theme song; written by Charlie Peacock...circa 1995 I think; but this was the first time I heard it...

Monkeys at the Zoo

Will it be different now or the same? Will I have learned anything?
Or was it just a way to spend a day or two
Set aside for thinking thoughts about You?
If that's all it was I had a good time

But that won't be enough for me, not this year not anytime soon
I have got to clean house, gotta make my bed, gotta clear my head
It's getting kind of stuffy in here, smells sorta funky too
Like monkeys at the zoo


I have been a whoring after things cause I wanna feel safe inside
That's a big fat lie
No amount of green, gold or silver
Will ever take the place of the peace of God
Spirit come flush the lies out
Spirit come flush the lies out

Will it be different now or the same? Have I changed at all?
And if you were to dive deep inside my soul would you find Jesus there
Or a gaping hole?

Should I be content with my beautiful Christian life?
I have been a whoring after things cause I wanna get everything right
That's a big fat lie

No amount of green, gold or silver, the perfect body, another hot toddy
Work for the Lord, fame & power, power and sex
A seat at a table at the Belle Meade Country Club
Here's the rub: nothing will ever take the place of the peace of God

Spirit come flush the lies out
Spirit come flush the lies out

Will it be different now or the same?
Will I have learned anything?
