Is comfort worth the expense?

No Safety

Lyrics
I know I’m getting older
Cus my dark hair fades to gray
And the things that are so simple
Age tends to complicate

And the world is getting smaller
It’s changing everyday
With change comes obligation
There is no time to be afraid

I know it is not safe
Be brave
There is no safety here
Why are we so scared?
When there are greater things to fear!

I need a reason to feel better
Your excuse for my defense
We say it is our culture
But is comfort worth the expense?
Is this comfort worth the expense?

I know it is not safe
Be brave
There is no safety here
Why are we so scared?
When there are greater things to fear!

When I was younger
I’d do anything knew everything
And believed
God would do something
To right this wrong
Because God did something
To save us all
Even the hurting
Even the poor
Even the poverty we choose to ignore
When will we heed this call
Just embrace
The purpose for which we were made
The purpose for which we were made
When will this rich man…
When will this rich man…
When will this rich man…
Choose to obey?

I know it is not safe
Be brave
There is no safety here
Why are we so scared?
When there are greater things to fear!

This is a song I wrote a while ago, when I re-read the last board post I was reminded me of it.  When I was younger I guinuinely wanted to make a difference, but from my little worldview it was more attainable when I got older. Now that I am older I say to myself… “man if I was younger”   Kinda like the “If I knew then what I know now” complex…
I do not think the desire to make a difference goes away but maybe we marginalize it as we grow older. Why? My encouragement to you is to dream big!
Thanks for listening and reading!
