The Way It Is

Standing in line, marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
'Cause they can't buy a job
The man in the silk suit hurries by
As he catches the poor old lady's eyes
Just for fun he says, "Get a job"
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
Ah, but don't you believe them
Said hey, little boy, you can't go where the others go
'Cause you don't look like they do
Said hey, old man, how can you stand to think that way?
Did you really think about it before you made the rules?
He said, son
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
Ah, but don't you believe them
Mm, yeah
Well, they passed a law in '64
To give those who ain't got a little more
But it only goes so far
Because the law don't change another's mind
When all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar, no
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is, it is, it is, it is

I think it was Bagdad Bill who asked if anyone had any gospel style music but I don’t recall his exact description. I do love the Kingdom Melodies, especially the new ones, but there is also modern music that has a message of good bible principles without being too much of Christendom and so I thought I would invite all to contribute so that we can all enjoy some clean music. As the bible tells us, we cannot get too much goodness. To start off I want to post a song by John Legend called “Preach” and it really puts to music the principle that we find at James 1:23-25: “For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror. For he looks at himself, and he goes away and immediately forgets what sort of person he is. But the one who peers into the perfect law that belongs to freedom and continues in it has become, not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work; and he will be happy in what he does“.

The scripture and the song are a great encouragement to me to keep the focus on how I can better apply christian principles. I hope you enjoy as much as I do.

Have i become a beacon of righteous music? Please let me be something righteous. Please let my heathen ways turn to something good. Let my God be a wealth to those who don't hear his word. Let my God be my word among the unrighteous. Let me stand for something good. My God will be my carrying on,
