>We’re on hour 3.5 of the prayer marathon, and I must say, I’m very impressed with the attitude and devotion of the church. Getting up in the dark, when it’s raining, in order to come up to the building alone and spend time in prayer for someone you may not even know very well is a pretty amazing testimony.
I found a tidal wave
Begging to tear down the door
Memories like bullets
They fired at me from a gun
A crack in the armor
I swim to brighter days
Despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I’m not giving in
I swim
You gotta swim
Through nights that won’t end
Swim for your families
Your lovers your sisters
And brothers your friends
Yeah you’ve gotta swim
Through wars without cause
Swim for the lost politicians
Who don’t see their greed as a flaw
The currents will pull us
Away from our love
Just keep your head above
I found a tidal wave
Begging to tear down the door
Memories like bullets
They fired at me from a gun
Cracking me open now
I swim to brighter days
Despite of the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I’m not giving in
I’m not giving in
I swim
You gotta swim
Swim in the dark
There’s no shame in drifting
Feel the tide shifting and wait for the spark
Yeah you’ve gotta swim
Don’t let yourself sink
Just find the horizon
I promise you it’s not as far as you think
The currents will drag us away from our love
Just keep your head above
Just keep your head above
Swim
Just keep your head above
Swim, swim
Just keep your head above
Swim
“For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 15:4-6
>Driving through the streets of Houston at midnight, one gets a feeling of calm, almost as if the city has worn itself down and needs to rest, just for a while, in order to recover for the following day’s unstoppable frenzy of activity.
>Victor Durrington is a great man.
>Sometimes you just don’t know what to write.
“On your feet now—applaud God! Bring a gift of laughter,
sing yourselves into his presence.
