This week I thought I would I share the 5 songs which in some way moved me and got me thinking about life and who I am. These 5 songs in one way or another represent something about me…
How to save a life – The Fray
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defence
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life

My thoughts....
I was deeply touched by these lyrics as they in so many ways touched me emotionally. I absolutely could/can relate to Isaac and what he was sharing. For so long I have wanted to be able to share my faith with others but find it so difficult because of the amount of stigma which surrounds the Christian faith. Sadly most Christians upset me regularly!!! So the questions I was faced with were: “How can I go about this difficult task, without forcing my faith down their throats? How can I make my faith seem real?”
The song opened up one word for me personally: RELATIONSHIPS.That’s what it’s all about… Relationships… After hearing this song and allowing it to challenge my thought process I decided to look into my relationships and I’m glad I did. Most of my relationships to date, I feel comfortable in saying are more real than what they were before… Because of this I feel I have now grown more as a person…
Where you challenged in any way by this song?
