A Darker Shade of Blue
We are all living life in a darker shade of blue.
Depressing ourselves, vacillating on aspirations
and other youthful ideas of jubilation
that we were never able to see through.
We sit in the shadows wailing about our pasts.
Wasting time
thinking about failed chances.
Lost romances.
And other "Memory lane" garbage
never meant to last.
We need to stop living in these old lamentations
giving us nothing but heartache and frustration.
We need to stop giving into Satan's self-pitying plans.
Get ourselves up and take a stand.
Remembering that Jesus Christ is our Lord, the Great Son of Man.
Our God came to save us; He came to crash our sins to their cores.
So that we would not have to obsess about our yesterdays anymore.
Because, we know full well.
That Jesus, our Lamb,
can save us from these self-made hells.
So now is the time
to be released.
By Jesus Christ,
our Mighty God
and Prince of Peace.
Freed from these
darker shades of blue.
Released into a life
that He makes brand new.
