God is not an elephant. All too often, I am.

The message of this song hits close to home. I'm sure it does with all of us, at least at some point in our lives.

Someone hurts us somehow. We all say "Forgive and Forget". But somewhere in our brains there's this little compartment where we keep a record of the wrongs done to us. We can't trust that person again. We don't want to be around them anymore. We worry about what they'll do next.

What we forget, (especially us Christians) is that by holding a grudge we hold our own hearts in bondage.

Losing - Tenth Avenue North

I can’t believe what she said

I can’t believe what he did

Oh, don’t they know it’s wrong

Don’t they know it’s wrong, yeah

Maybe there’s something I’ve missed

But how could they treat me like this

It’s wearing out my heart

The way they disregard, oh

This is love or this is hate

We all have a choice to make

Oh, Father, won’t You forgive them

They don’t know what they’ve been doing

Oh, Father, give me grace to forgive them

‘Cause I feel like the one losing

It’s only the dead that can live

But still I wrestle with this

To lose the pain that’s mine

Seventy times seven times

Lord, it doesn’t feel right

For me to turn a blind eye

Though, I guess it’s not that much

When I think of what You’ve done

This is love, this is hate

We got a choice to make Why do we think that hate’s gonna change their heart

We’re up in arms over wars that don’t need to be fought

Pride won’t let us lay weapons on the ground

We build our bridges up but just to burn them down

We think pain’s owed apologies and then it’ll stop

Truth be told, it doesn’t matter if they’re sorry or not

Freedom comes when we surrender to the sound

Of mercy and Your grace, Father, send Your angels down
