If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
Mr. Parris must have a lot of late night arguments with himself. My feeling is you cannot be an athiest (one who believes there is no God), and then make such observations and statements as those made by Mr. Parris. He's a walking contradiction and hopefully he'll realize that. The country of Africa isn't the only country in need of God. Take a look at the United States of America, Great Britain, Central America... no matter where... we all need God.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Mr. Parris' observations of God's obvious activity in the lives of Africans will surely be used as a tool to open his eyes to the very existence of God.
