been a while

this is a spoken song by Jimmy Needham, the c.d. is called "speak"  it has a blues feel to it, but all of his lyrics are amazing it's been on my mind to share this.  the title of the "song" is BENEDICTION

no one is good there is not even one

the front pages of papers of children raped by rapists

Iraqi torture chambers and we the blamed claim we're blameless

wrong all

and swelling up inside of us there's this pride in us this arrogance

and our only line of defense is the sense that

I'm not half as bad as this friend of mine so i must be fine

we mean well don't we

yet I've never seen good intentions set a man free from

hurt all

this poor unfortunate soul

filling a single void with toy after toy girl after boy

how boring this wasn't meant to be Humanity's life story

warring with God saying what have you done for me

bought all

hanging out for six hours marred beyond recognition

in complete submission to the Father's will still

a proclamation was made louder than the loudest temptation

with more beauty than all His creation

more eternal than eternity more angelic than the heavenlies

it is done you are bought with blood accept rejoice

for freedom has come
