Not The Song Of My Youth

If you have been reading my blog for very long, you know I love to post about song lyrics that speak to me. Today as I was getting dressed for a luncheon, I had my cable station on the Contemporary Music station and a song came on that I did not think I had heard before (although I have the CD, so I am sure I had) Nevertheless when it started, I thought to myself this is not the song of my childhood, just the words. But it is so filled with truth about how Satan takes us down the road to sin in such small steps at a time that eventually we are waist deep in it, and often have left a path of destruction. See what you think.

Slow Fade by Casting Crowns

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 are turned to gray

And 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 flattering leads to compromises
The end is always near

Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises
Leave broken hearts astray

It's a slow fade
When you give yourself away
It's a slow fade
When black and white are turned to gray

And 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 are turned to gray

And 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 you 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
