Charles Williams, War in Heaven
Music Monday: You & Me

Wise Words On Wednesday: True Understanding

“True understanding is unattainable without both love and detachment”
Owen Barfield, History in English Words
Music Monday: Love God Love People
I’ve been running in circles
Jumping the hurdles
Getting caught in that rush of doing so much
I’m feeling kinda worn out
All this checking the boxes
Trying to be flawless
Has me spinning my head, catching my breath
Too afraid to slow down
I tell myself to keep this up
That God wants more than just my love
But I’ve been complicating things
It’s just like me to overthink
Gotta keep it real simple, keep it real simple
Bring everything right back to ground zero
‘Cause it all comes down to this
Love God and love people (People)
We’re living in a world that keeps breakin’
But if we want to find a way to change it
It all comes down to this
Love God and love people
Oh, this is freedom (This is freedom)
The keys to the Kingdom (Hey-ey)
Knowing life will be found when love can be loud
‘Cause love is what it’s all about
Love is patient, love is kind
Rescues hearts and changes lives
Love is all we need to make things right
Gotta keep it real simple, oh
It’s really so simple, oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-ohh
We’re living in a world that keeps breakin’ (Oh yeah)
But if we want to find a way to change it (Find a way, yeah)
It all comes down to this (Everything comes down to this)
Love God and love people (Whoa)
Keep on loving, keep on loving
Love God and love people
So keep on loving, keep on loving
It’s all about love
It’s how we change the world
Love God and love people
