Music Mondays


Hello! Today is Music Monday (as you all should know). So we gotta have a song for today right??? Well, today's song is the amazing Royal Taylor song: Wannabe. Remember guys-these lyrics were taken off of a website you can see the copyright on the bottom. Please respect these lyrics as they are not yours but someone else's and should be used very carefully. Thank you!! :D


Lyrics:

I was just walking home
iPod and my headphones on
Thinking ‘bout who I wanna be
TV, magazines and the billboards
All say I'd be cool if I had more
But that's a lie I must ignore

This world just keeps on trying
But it ain’t satisfying
This hunger in my soul
‘Cause they don’t even know
That my identity
Is more than what they see
It’s in the One who came to set me free
So I can be who I wannabe

Gotta friend lives down the road
Livin' life like a TV show
But his big ol' house is not a home (nah nah nah nah)
Gotta Benz, got friends but he's not sure
Would they be there if he was poor
That’s not the life I'm looking for

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. Matthew 6:19-20

This verse goes perfectly with this song. These singers are talking about how so many people store up they're riches on the Earth and they don't have anything stored up in heaven. Meaning, that we may be "popular" and "rich" down here on Earth but none of that stuff matters up in heaven. What matters is that we have been obedient to Lord here on Earth.  Now, that doesn't mean we can't have a nice house and a nice car and stuff like that, it means that we should not turn away from God when we have these good things. We should always have a good relationship with Him and we should obey Him. And if we obey Him we will be rewarded in heaven AND on Earth. How cool is that? I'm soooo in! :0) So just think about it....is your relationship with God good? Are your friends actually real friends or just a scam? Just a little something to think about! :)
