• Slow Fade

  Tonight I was doing my usual tour around godtube when I found something completely amazing!!!  If you haven't heard the song "Slow Fade" by Casting Crowns then you are really missing something great.  It talks about how sin penatrates our life ever so slowly, just one small thing at a time without us really being aware.  Tonight while searching for a video that I could let my kids watch (due to the very nature of this song the videos have had more adult content that I'm not comfortable with) I found this.... this is a performance that a young woman did in sign language.  And while I got goosebumps the first time I heard the song, seeing it done in sign made it even more impacting...you'll see what I mean...just watch.   Darn!!! I tried to embed the video but it didn't take.  Please click here...it will be worth your time!

  Here are the words and if you haven't heard the song you may just want to read through them.  There is so much to think about.

  "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

  More later.
