Slow Fade

Have you heard that song "Slow Fade" by Casting Crowns? These are the lyrics.. so powerful. It just reminds us that our life does not just get out of control over night.. things happen sometimes slowly, we make choices everyday that affect what we will become. Why not live our lives the way God intended, sensative to the things he has taught us and obedient.

"Slow Fade"
Be careful little eyes what you see
It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
Be careful little feet where you go
For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade

Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day

The journey from your mind to your hands
Is shorter than you're thinking
Be careful if you think you stand, You just might be sinking
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day

Oh be careful little eyes what see
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
For the Father up above is looking down in love
Oh be careful little eyes what you see


Our family has witnessed compromise and the affects on families and on peoples lives. Its the kind of thing where they take 3 steps foward and 2 steps back..all the time. It doesn't mean we are gonna be perfect, we are human and we will make mistakes. The key is to come back to God and make the changes in your life so that you don't go back. Once Satan get's his foot in the door, he will find all kinds of ways to get you, and he is looking to get you. Stand strong in the Lord and do what is right, God will always be there to hold you up. Don't give in......
