Acts 18: 9-10
And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.”
Today's Song: Quiet by MILCK
Genre – Alternative / Indie
As I listened to this song, Quiet, the words below came to me in a free-flowing thought. I typed them into my notes section of my phone. Try listening to the song and see what thoughts come to you. <><
Trust
I’ll love you
I won’t run away
Don’t keep quiet
Speak up
Use your voice
Don’t stay silent
Speak
Others will understand
They will hear
They will listen
Don’t stay quiet
You are known - He knows you
He wants you to speak
To hear
To trust
To find the one who understands
He placed us - everywhere
Whatever sits in you quiet - speak it. We are closer to one another than we are told. Made from the same breath. Long-lost brothers and sisters. Don’t let others convince or frighten you into thinking we are enemies -monsters- for we are not, we are of the same vine.
Listen to today’s song. What do you hear?
Be safe, be kind, share grace and pray. Our world needs prayer. Pray for me. Pray for you. There is great power in prayer.
Until our next post - <><
Lyrics
"Put on your face, know your place
Shut up and smile, don't spread your legs"
I could do that
But no one knows me, no one ever will
If I don't say something, if I just lie still
Would I be that monster? Scare them all away
If I let them hear what I have to say
I can't keep quiet, no-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
No, I can't keep quiet, no-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
A one-woman riot, no-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
No, I can't keep quiet
For anyone
No, not anymore
'Cause no one knows me, no one ever will
If I don't say something, take that dry blue pill
They may see that monster, they may run away
But I have to do this
I can't keep quiet, no-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, I can't keep quiet, no-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
A one-woman riot, no-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, I can't keep quiet
There'll be someone who understands, no-ooh
I can't keep quiet, no-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I can't keep quiet, no-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I can't keep quiet (oh, no-ooh)
No, I won't keep quiet
