Andrew Peterson: Come, Lord Jesus

Tonight in the line of the merchandise store
While they were packing up my bags
I saw the pictures of the prophets of the picket signs
Screaming, "God hates fags"

And it feels like the church isn't anything more
Then the second coming of the Pharisees
Scrubbing each other 'til their tombs are white
They chisel epitaphs of piety

Oh, there's a burning down inside of me
'Cause the battle seems so lost
And it's raging on so silently
We forget it's being fought

So, Amen
Come, Lord Jesus
Amen
Oh, Amen
Come Lord Jesus
Amen

It's taken me years in the race just to get this far
Still there is no end in sight,
There's no end in sight
'Cause I've carried my cross into dens of the wicked
And you know I blended in just fine

Well, I'm weak and I'm weary of breaking His heart
With they cycle of my sin, of my sin
Still He turns His face to me and I kiss it
Just to betray Him once again

Well, I've got oceans down inside of me
I can feel the billows roll
With the mercy that comes thundering
O'er the waters of my soul

So, Amen
Come, Lord Jesus
Amen
Oh, Amen
Come, Lord Jesus
Amen

Tonight in the light of the gathering rain
I could hear creation groan
And a sigh rose up from the streets of the city
To the foot of Heaven's throne

Oh, and the people hear the sound of a sweet refrain
An absolution in the fray, in the fry
It tells of the death of the one for the lives of the many
More than any picket sign could say

So, Amen
Come, Lord Jesus
Amen
Oh, Amen
Come, Lord Jesus
Amen

Once you go black you don't go back!
that pretty much sums up who i've been hanging out with.
hahahaha.

i've been avoiding asians like the plague.
I guess because I am so incredibly worried I might fall back into the "mission" type of thing.
Where being around asians is such a comfort.
But then again...hanging out with black people is so comfortable... hahaha

I'm still debating on whether or not to join the asian club.
I feel more prone to joining the multi-ethic club.

oh man, my friends are funny here though.
What are you?
-Filipino?
-no...chinese..mandarin...
-like mandarin orange?
-....i guess...

-so you from Mandarina or something?

hahaha oh man. my friends here crack me up so hard


but besides this, i also have an opera singer art teacher. and another art teacher who has a ferocious beard which he sometimes chews in his mouth when he's thinking.

I know I know. this somehow is just so ick but aw.

CUTE ONE LINERS

1. Give God what's right - not what's left.
2. Man's way leads to a hopeless end - God's way leads to an endless hope.
3. A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.
4. He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.
5. Don't put a question mark where God puts a period.
6. Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to the church for a face-lift.
7. When praying, don't give God instructions - just report for duty.
8. We don't change God's message - His message changes us.
9. Give satan an inch and he'll be a ruler.
10. God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
11. Plan ahead - It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.
12. Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory position.
13. Suffering from truth decay? Brush up on your Bible.
14. Exercise daily - walk with the Lord.
15. Never give the devil a ride - he will always want to drive.
16. Nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it.
17. He who angers you controls you.
18. Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop.

Yay, I finally got my yearbook today, There was only one person in front of me! :D hehe

and I didn't get to look at it at all cause my mom took it from me.
She keeps commenting on everyone's senior portraits and pointing to random people I don't really know and goes, AIYAH, this person has the wrong hairstyle, people your age shoulndt have this type. it's bad, makes them look fat. or she goes oh your CHILDHOOD FRIEND. LOOK WHO she hangs out with now! she likes to know who's with who. And she yeah, she likes commenting on how somepeopel look better on a certain angle than another.

I've actually been quite lax in signing people's yearbooks this year. well, I always am because I have this idealistic thought that I will always see these people at like Denny's or something and we will just plop down and catch up. so i end up not writing that much.
JUST KIDDING.
i don't know what I'm spouting off.
I'm all set to flunk the anatomy final(s) for tomorow.
I've literally already flunked my econ final. It felt good and. floaty.





sandeep got me hooked onto family guy, I stayed up until three watching so much.
IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME. WHERE YOU AT WHERE YOU AT.

My problem is more in that,
I am so proud.
of my sinful nature and my human nature.
that i fail to realize.
that I can be so much better in God's name.
instead of reveling in saying that Christians can be human too- and bask in getting piss drunk(yeah, right) or cussing every couple words. or helping someone cheat.and...other stuff.
I should revel in acknowledging my imperfection, but also moving past this dang spot. and actually doing something to show that my God is so omnipotent that He can change me so greatly, that I do not need to revel in such sins.But I wouldn't say I regret anything about this year.
I've actually haven't really gotten back with God completely ever since freshman year. Man, I HECKA MISS HIM. HECKAHECKAHECKAHECKAHECKA.
You live, you learn. You screw up, suck it up in your own way because you did bring it upon yourself. Lol. Besides this thought that's been running in my head forever, I guess I'm more careful and selective about certain things. oh yeah, and emotions are terrible and beautiful things.


well, we are graduating soon!
I still can't believe the mural things happened. I was actually more aghast at the bridge mural being vandalized because it was one of the few that was pretty good.but it was still pretty terrible, don't we have a nightwatchman.... with dogs... I bet he sleeps in everynight then.

Midsummer's Night Dream was very cute and entertaining. I, for a while, thought Puck was a very evil elf after reading Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. But Shubhra changed all that with her leaf antlers!

Bon Jovi (You Want To) Make a Memory Lyrics
Hello again, it's you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin' wine, killing time
Trying to solve life's mysteries

How's your life, it's been a while
God it's good to see you smile
I see you reaching for your keys
Looking for a reason not to leave

If you don't know if you should stay
If you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be

You wanna make a memory?

I dug up this old photograph
Look at all that hair we had.
It's bittersweet to hear you laugh
Your phone is ringing I don't wanna ask

If you go now, I'll understand
If you stay, hey, I've got a plan
We're gonna make a memory
You wanna steal a piece of time
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple of lines

You wanna make a memory?

If you don't know if you should stay
And you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be
We Should be

You wanna make a memory
You wanna steal a piece of time
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple of lines

You wanna make a memory? (x2)
