Though you never sing this song to me before, I am always reminded of you when I hear this song. Tears were flowing when I first heard this song. It reminded me of you. But you are no longer there. The truth is: It's hard to forget you. And it's 3 months and 5 days that you left me already.
Stop and Stare by One Republic
This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us It's time to make our move, I'm shakin off the rust I've got my heart set on anywhere but here I'm staring down myself, counting up the years Steady hands, just take the wheel... Every glance is killing me Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead
(Chorus) Stop and stare I think I'm moving but I go nowhere Yeah I know that everyone gets scared But I've become what I can't be, oh... Stop and stare You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there And you'd give anything to get what's fair But fair ain't what you really need Oh, can you see what I see
They're tryin to come back, all my senses push Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could... Steady feet, don't fail me now I will run till you can't walk Something pulls my focus out And I'm standing down...
(Chorus) Stop and stare I think I'm moving but I go nowhere Yeah I know that everyone gets scared But I've become what I can't be, oh... Stop and stare You start to wonder why you're here not there And you'd give anything to get what's fair But fair ain't what you really need Oh, you don't need What u need, what u need...
Stop and stareI think I'm moving but I go nowhere Yeah I know that everyone gets scared But I've become what I can't be Oh, do u see what I see...
Heard this song.. On the train, in the bus and even when I am playing game on my PSP and watching TV programme... Who can help me get you off my mind?
I keep saying I forget you.. But I cannot..
Apologize by One Republic [Verse 1] I'm hangin' on your rope, Got me ten feet off the ground. And I'm hearin' what you say, But I just can't make a sound. You tell me that you need me, Then you go and cut me down... But wait...You tell me that you're sorry, Didn't think I'd turn around...And say...
[Chorus] That it's too late to apologize, It's too late...I said it's too late to apologize. It's too late.Yeah!
[Verse 2] I'd take another chance,Take a fall, take a shot for you. I need you like a heart needs a beat,But it's nothin' new. I loved you with a fire red,Now it's turnin' blue... And you say... Sorry, you're not the angel Heaven let me think was you...But I'm afraid...
[Chorus] It's too late to apologize.It's too late.I said it's too late to apologize.It's too late.Whoa![Interlude]
[Chorus] It's too late to apologize.It's too late. I said it's too late to apologize.It's too late.It's too late to apologize. YEAH!I said it's too late to apologize. YEAH!I'm holdin' on your rope,got me ten feet off the ground.
Many a times, people asked what is Christianity. Is it a religion? Today, I as a young chrisitian would attempt to explain what is Christianity through an interesting way:
In the age of the internet, God is just like a router. We are like a laptop with the network card. As christians, we have a direct relationship with God, just like the network card to the router. Thus, we can receive and send information direct to God, without the need for a third party to be present.
When we backslide, we start to lose the connection/relationship/intimacy that we have with God. This is akin to 'Network not Found' in the internet age. Usually, pressing the 'refresh network list' button would work. Similarly, we would have to refresh our thoughts, in that sense, and seek re-establishment with God and get 'connected' back to him.
The Bible is our technical help booklet and the Pastor and pastoral staff is like the technical helpdesk staff, waiting to assist you with your lost connection.
Some people decided to change their faith and in that sense, change their 'network card' or network operator. This results them in connecting to the wrong network. But just like any operators, those who changed their 'network card' would realize eventually that the other operators have poorer reception and the price plan is more expensive but the GOOD NEWS is that you can change back to this network and get connected again! And God never makes you sign a contract to be on his network!!!
So choose the right network and enjoy one that is of better value (you do not have to buy any offerings or burn incense as a Christian), higher speed (prayers do get answer very quickly), better customer service (pastors help you instaneously) and of course a network where everything is laid out nicely for you.
