People Never Crumble in a Day

Slow Fade
by Casting Crowns

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

Mr.Keropok's Thoughts:

Heard this song on Sunday in church and the lyrics really captured and echoed in my heart. Indeed, we are who we are today because of choices made in our everyday journey of life. The truth remains: Make right choices and we will enjoy the rewards and joy. Make wrong ones, and we have to accept the consequences that come along.

Why is it that some people are always so positive and have that UP attitude in life despite facing much trials and challenges? But why are there some others who gets depressed easily and are always eating worms whenever difficulties befalls? Is it because some of us are just WEAK in our minds?

YES. Some of us are weaker or stronger in our minds, and that's why some of us are more resilient when challenges come by. We are weakened in our minds because of the choices we make everyday.

Analogy....

If you keep eating junk food everyday without exercise, you will definitely be in bad health state.

If you keep smoking everyday, you definitely increase your chances of getting lung cancer.

Sooo.....

If you keep thinking negatively everyday, dwell in negative thoughts, hopelessness and buy in to hurtful things that people say, your emotional will also gets weakened day by day and soon you will become negative as well!

It's a Slow Fade... Thoughts invade... Choices are made... A price will be paid when you give yourself away... People never crumble in a day.
