| As I Lay Dying – The Sound of Truth Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I really like this song. It can be interpreted in many ways. To me, though, I think it could be about being an authentic Christian. For those of us that have maybe gone to church or heard parts of the bible, we ‘feel’ a certain way about how to live life the right way. But Tim is saying that at some point, a person gets sick of feeling, and gets sick of feeling good in the church. Feeling good passes so quickly. I know this, it has happened to me so many times. I can never be “good,” like the church portrays that I’m supposed to be. In truth, I never will be. “but what wisdom is there within us.” We seek to find answers. Many “smart” people looked for answers to life when Jesus was still alive. When these smart people, the Pharisees, asked Him for answers, he answered that he was the wisdom, He was the truth. If we don’t base truth on something we heard from a human, and instead base it on facts, we would see what true wisdom is. 1 Cor. 1:30 “It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God-that is, our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.” “there is no difference between us and them if we all blindly seek truth from sentiments.” As Christians, we were not made to live apart from Jesus. If we live based on a feeling, how are we different from nonchristians who live for this world? |
