"It's All the Same"

Today I was listening to a cd that was from a retreat I went on last month. The cd is full of songs that were used as reflections for the different talks that were given. The song below was the one that happened to hit me the most. It seems to me to be from God's point of view, and my favorite part of the song is the chorus. It is so true how we can sometimes joke about not needing God when things are going great in out lives, but then when things start to go wrong we automatically turn to God thinking he should fix the problem. It seems to me though, that we need to fix our perspectives on how we look at things and always keep in mind that we will always need God in our lives, not only in the bad times, but in the good also. Your relationship with God should be like any other relationship you make. It should always be about giving and taking.... not just the taking part. The lyrics are below if you're interested at all.

"It's All the Same"
Sick Puppies


Verse 1

I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
But I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly
I don't care, no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually what you'll do
I don't mind
I don't care
As long as you're here

Chorus

Go ahead and tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
And do it all over again
It's all the same

Verse 2

Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
But in-between it always seems too long
For certain
But I have the skill, yeah
I have the will, to breath you in while I can
However long you stay is all that I am

I don't mind, I don't care
As long as you're here

Chorus

Go ahead and tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
And do it all over again
It's always the same


Bridge

Wrong or Right
Black or White
If I close my eyes
Its all the same

In my life
The compromise
I'll close my eyes
Its all the same

Go ahead say it
You're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are now
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same
