Today Lisa and I spent a couple hours this morning listening to music and worshiping God. One song that we listened to was from a group I have only heard of but never listened to. Sanctus Real has a song called "I'm Not Alright". Quite honestly when I heard it I felt like this band had captured what I was feeling perfectly. Here are the lyrics and if you click the band name you can listen to the song with some clicking around.
I'm Not Alright - Sanctus Real
V1
If weakness is a wound
That no-one wants to speak of
Then cool is just how far we have to fall
And I am not immune; I only wanna be loved
But I feel safe behind the firewall
Can I loose my need to impress?
If you want the truth- I need to confess *
CHORUS
I'm not alright, I'm broken inside, broken inside;
And all I go through, it leads me to You
It leads me to You
V2
Burn away the pride
Bring me to my weakness
Till everything to hide behind is gone
When I'm open wide
With nothing left to cling to
Only You are there to lead me on
Cause honestly, I'm not that strong
And now I'm moved, and now I'm moved, and now I'm moved (closer to you)
And now I'm moved, and now I'm moved, and now I'm moved (closer to you)
And now I'm moved, and now I'm moved, and now I'm moved (closer to you)
And now I'm moved, and now I'm moved, and now I'm moved
I'm not alright, I'm broken inside, broken inside
Ohhhhhhhh broken inside, broken inside;
And all I go through, it leads me to You
It leads me to You
I'm not alright, I'm not alright, I'm not alright
That's why I need you

Thank you all for your constant prayers. I start the next wave of chemo (and get some minor surgery) tomorrow. Thank you all.

Ben, your BLOG reminded me of a Christian comedian and conference speaker to youth and young adults, named Ken Fowler. He has a short series he uses frequently, titled "I'm not alright, Your not alright, but with Jesus Christ, we're alright"! The facts are on your side and our side.
