Perspectives

A very good song by Kutless. The group never ceases to amaze me how meaningful their words can be. I appreciate their hearts to dig deeper into the ways of the Lord. Many of their songs have spoken to me through the years.

It feels like your life's crashing down all around you

Let me ask if it's really so bad

Look at the world in it's suffering

Can you honestly tell me that no one else could understand

All of the hurting inside

CH: Why can't you see that freedom is sometimes just simply another perspective away

Who could you be if your lens was changed for a moment,

Would you still be the same?

A young child looks through a great stained glass window

Watching the people go by

Everyone seems to be wearing a red coat

His mother sees jackets in white

Now he can't understand why does she see it this way

-

Yesterday, you really couldn't see

By changing your angle a new world would be

Revealed to your once blinded eyes by moving a few degrees

Sometimes when we feel trapped in our hurting, we only need to evaluate our perspective to gain freedom and answers that we are looking for. At times, I think this can mean putting ourselves in another person's shoes, or at other times simply presenting the different options and opinions to the Lord for His approval and scrutiny. My prayer, for myself, is that He will make it evident when I am looking through "stained glass" and that I will not fail to see when He does.
