Racin' Like the wind
Again, this is about my own struggle observed in a personal way. A look at the desperate state of mind that one finds himself in when he knows that he is deep in serious sin and wants out.
One of my favorite lyric segments I have ever written is:
“Cryin' like the thunder as I kick against the fences that enclose me
I built them all and I built them strong enough to hold me
I'm tryin' to kick 'em down but you know They surround me and they choke me
Racin’ like the wind, racin’ like the wind back to you."
This so depicts the reality of so many who are caught in sin. James 1:13-15 says:
Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
One of the common syndromes of current thinking is to assign blame for whatever happens in your life. No personal responsibility is required for many.
This song speaks to that issue.
