This song by Casting Crowns is so powerful....
"Slow Fade"
Be careful little eyes what you see
It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
Be careful little feet where you go
For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade
Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
The journey from your mind to your hands
Is shorter than you're thinking
Be careful if you think you stand
You just might be sinking
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day
Oh be careful little eyes what see
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
For the Father up above is looking down in love
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
I know the video is really directed toward pornography, but I think the words of this song can be directed toward a lot of aspects in our Christian lives. We take "one step" over the line, and the next time it makes it easier to take two steps, and then three steps and then four steps and then five steps..... Creeping compromise of our values and our beliefs....and we slowly move farther and farther away from the path where God would have us. Wow. I found this song and have been playing it non stop. What a good reminder.
Anyway...thought I would share....
peace....

So true. Thank you for sharing. It's so easy to creep back into sinful habit patterns without even realizing it. And then the "check" God sends is terribly painful, though necessary.
wow i have to get this song!
