Slow Fade - Casting Crown


The lyrics of this song is sooo true and real -- it is a slow fade when we start to be careless with ourselves and allow our eyes ... ears ... wonder away where it should not wonder off .. that is the start of giving ourselves away ... the crack begins ... the leak starts ...

Am totally not a believer of the overnight statements of : "ooppss .... I dont love you anymore ... there is no more feelings" or "I fell out of love with you and in love with another" -- it is always a slow fade ... when we are careless with where our eyes wonder off .... and allow our mind to wonder off for awhile .... after all, who know what goes on in the heart?

This is also so true in our relationship with God - when we become careless with our inner life ... when we think that we are strong and well or when we think we need a "break" ... that's when we will fall ..... when what is black or white turn to grey and we compromise with our values .. God had to fight to keep His position in our hearts .... outwardly we are still going to church ... lifting up our hands in worship and reciting spiritual prayers .... after all, who knows what goes on in our hearts ...

... People never crumble in a day ... Daddies never crumble in a day .... Families never crumble in a day .... and Eng Ing would like to add : nations never crumble in a day .... Malaysia will not crumble in a day ... its a slow fade .... the cheating .... lies ... corruption ... stealing ... power merge between the Parliament and jurisdiction ... injustice ... the ugly truth swept under the carpet .... again I say .. nations will not crumble in a day .... Malaysia -- will you rise to put a stop before the crumble happen? Yes .... this was what Bersih 2.0 is all about ... after Bersih 2.0 .. what next?

Before the crumble happens ... let us humbly come before our Maker and consider our ways first ... let change and transformation begin with ourselves first and let it flow into our families .... society ... and nation! Be careful little eyes what we see ... be careful little ears what we hears ... be careful little hands what we do .... be careful little feet where we go ......................................

Let us rise to be Bersih internally first before the Lord : if My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
(2 Chron 7:14)

A powerful reminder by Casting Crown :

______________________________
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 wh
en 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

It's a slow fade when y
ou 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


The journey from yo
ur 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 littl
e eyes what you see
