Music Monday

As I write this post, I find myself wondering how important what I have to say is. When I thought of "Music Monday," I pictured myself holding up various popular songs each week and measuring them against scripture. When I started to write for this post, however, I wondered why I would dissect one song when so many so obviously are so contrary to scripture. But clearly people either don't care (a major portion) or don't realize the contradiction (a few, at least!), so I push through despite my feelings that what I'm saying doesn't matter. But here's what's funny: no one reads this anyway, so it's not consequential anyway. So there's another way to solve that problem. 

Now I need to pick a song. 

*goes to iTunes*

Okay I decided to do Fight Song, because it's generally happy and I'm hoping there won't be much wrong with it. I'm not in the mood for something crazy sad or explicit. Here we go! (watch there be absolutely nothing wrong or extraordinarily right and this post be completely boring. Hey, I'm not complaining if a song like that is in the top 5!

welllllllllllllll.........

I'm afraid I predicted that a little too well. The song is lovely. SO I have decided o try to find places it lines up with scripture. Hooray!

"Like how a single word

Can make a heart open"

"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver." Prov. 25:11

"I might only have one match

But I can make an explosion"

"So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!" James 3:5

"And all those things I didn't say

Wrecking balls inside my brain

I will scream them loud tonight"

"Therefore I will not keep silent; I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit..." Job 7:11

"But there's a fire burning in my bones

And I still believe"

"There is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in..." Jeremiah 20:9

Now I understand that these verses are out of context, but I think they prove that the song lines up with Biblical themes. Certain lines from it are almost word-for-word with Bible verses, and the song emphasizes perseverance and courage. 

Final Declaration:
