Today's assignment from the enigmatic Mr. M is to do a lyrical study about our favorite song. My favorite song (at the moment) is Cornelius by the Newsboys. If you want the lyrics, you can find them !!HERE!!
So, this song is about there are, every now and again, some really righteous people in the world who don't stop for anything to do what's right. It references the Roman centurion Cornelius (obviously) that became a Christian and converted his whole family, which is really awesome.
Okay, so this song is cool because its lyrics remind me that we as Christians have to be ready to carry our cross, and even sometimes help others carry theirs.
My favorite line is the first verse:
"And every generation's got
The fearless few who can't be bought
They don't take polls, or look around
They act on truth, and then they stand their ground"
To me, that says that a really righteous person doesn't rely on the opinions of others to be their moral compass. A really righteous person is someone who listens to the Holy Spirit telling them what to do, then does it with the greatest of joy.
This isn't necessarily my favorite song. It always changes, but it usually comes back to this album, Thrive, from the Newsboys.
Peace, love, and the courage to do what's right.
