  1. that reminds me of one of my favorite Rich Mullins songs...

    Well, it took the hand of God Almighty
    To part the waters of the sea
    But it only took one little lie
    To separate you and me
    Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are

    And they say that one day Joshua
    Made the sun stand still in the sky
    But I can't even keep these thoughts
    Of you from passing by
    Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are

    CHORUS
    We are frail
    We are fearfully and wonderfully made
    Forged in the fires of human passion
    Choking on the fumes of selfish rage
    And with these our hells and our heavens
    So few inches apart
    We must be awfully small
    And not as strong as we think we are

    And the Master said their faith was
    Gonna make them mountains move
    But me, I tremble like a hill on a fault line
    Just at the thought of how I lost you
    Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are

  2. wow. . . that's a powerful song. it makes me wonder what he lost? regardless, we've all lost something, even if it's our ability to love completely, perfectly, without selfish ambition. as he said--"choking on the fumes of selfish rage." right after our separation from God, the worst things is our separation from each other. we are small because of our pride. how ironic?
