Idle with Despair

Well, I was not going to blog today.  I didn't feel like I had much to say, then I was inspired tonight. I don't know if it was God, or Delilah(radio host) that did it, but it happened. She played "Hands" by Jewel while I soaked in my bubble bath, and I listened and almost cried. I have heard the song before, but tonight I listened. Some of the verses are simple, yet so moving. I did not post all the lyrics, but some of the one's that were most moving to me. I really like the verse "I won't be idle with despair", and " I will gather myself around my faith for light does the darkness fear most". WOW, How many times have I been idle with despair?? Probably one to many times. Jewel also performed this song for the Pope at "Natale in Vaticano"(Christmas in the Vatican) I have posted a link to that performance if you would like to see it and hear all of the lyrics.  

"If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear

In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray

And I am never broken
We are never broken
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's heart
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's eyes
We are God's hands
We are God's hands"
