I have been thinking on this verse lately:

"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."
Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)

"Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life."
Proverbs 4:23 (ESV)



In doing so my wife brought this new song to my attention. I do not usually hear songs like this on the radio, but slipping into shades of "gray" have been on my mind in so many ways.


"Slow Fade"

(lyrics)
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 have turned to gray
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 flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray

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 have turned to gray
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 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
 
Casting Crowns...presently my favorite band. Excellent song and a powerful message. Yes, take heed.

Sorry to do this...the members of Casting Crowns are Southern Baptists.

Yeah, well.... us Presbyterians can like 'em too. They'll get that water thang straight someday. :lol:

Great song.

Great song. This part of the chorus causes me to reflect everytime I hear it.
 
They are one of my favourite groups.

Powerful video. Thanks for posting it.

'People never crumble in a day.'
 
As I recall the members of Casting Crowns are youth ministers at a Southern Baptist Church in Geogria. What I've read they are always back home Sunday morning to be with the youth of their church. I'm not sure if they are maintaining that yet today.

Regardless, they are committed Christian ministers.
 
We love Casting Crowns here! Slow Fade is one of my favorites, but if you want to hear a great song listen to Who Am I, powerful song. Beautiful Savior is awesome too! The Altar and the Door is a great CD. I also like East to West. I have to admit, I listen to Casting Crowns, Third Day and Mercy Me. I don't listen to much else, but these groups are my favorites.

Mindy, we like those same groups, too. I like some of Chris Tomlin songs as well.

Our radio station plays Casting Crowns, but I hadn't heard Slow Fade yet. The video is pretty powerful.
