I listed this as my number two song for music and lyrics, and I’m not sure it isn’t becoming number one; it was pulled down by the fact that I was so disappointed with the recording that I placed it at number 31 for performance and recording (although in retrospect it’s really pretty good, and my disappointment might be a bit of an overreaction), and Tristan didn’t include it on his list. (The ranking system is explained in connection with the first song, linked below.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Sometimes<\/i><\/b><\/font>.<\/p>\n So here are the words:<\/p>\n Sometimes only you and I alone can see Given time I’d only waste it all away; He calls me by my name; Now I see the one who died upon the cross; I can only hope you benefit from the song in some way. I will continue with additional songs in the future.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n *****<\/p>\n Previous web log song posts:<\/p>\n #301: The Song “Holocaust”<\/a><\/i> | #307: The Song “Time Bomb”<\/a><\/i> | #311: The Song “Passing Through the Portal”<\/a><\/i> | #314: The Song “Walkin’ In the Woods”<\/a><\/i> | #317: The Song “That’s When I’ll Believe”<\/a><\/i> | #320: The Song “Free”<\/a><\/i> | #322: The Song “Voices”<\/a><\/i> | #326: The Song “Mountain, Mountain”<\/a><\/i> | #328: The Song “Still Small Voice”<\/i><\/a> | #334: The Song “Convinced”<\/a><\/i> | #337: The Song “Selfish Love”<\/a><\/i> | #340: The Song “A Man Like Paul”<\/a><\/i> | #341: The Song “Joined Together”<\/a><\/i> | #346: The Song “If We Don’t Tell Them”<\/a><\/i> | #349: The Song “I Can’t Resist You’re Love”<\/a><\/i> | #353: The Song “I Use to Think”<\/a><\/i> | #356: The Song “God Said It Is Good”<\/a><\/i> | #362: My Life to You<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n Next song: #372: The Song “Heavenly Kingdom”<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is mark Joseph “young” blog entry #366, on the subject of The Song “Sometimes”.

\nI am not the things that I know that I should be.
\nSometimes people ’round about me cannot tell
\nIn myself I’m only fit to be damned to hell.
\nNo, I hide behind this smile upon my face,
\nMe of all most mis’rable, saving for your grace,
\nMe of all most mis’rable, saving for your grace.<\/p>\n
\nI do not deserve to live even one more day.
\nGiven talent, I would spend it on my pride–
\nI am such a sinful wretch, yet I choose to hide.
\nGiven power I would work my selfish will.
\nHow can God give life to one only fit to kill?
\nHow can God give life to one only fit to kill?<\/p>\n
\nHe tells me, “Child, arise!”
\nI’ll never be the same:
\nI have looked into His eyes.<\/p>\n
\nAll that I had counted gain there was counted loss.
\nNow I have no reason, nothing left to hide:
\nI’m the one deserving death; I’m the one who died.
\nNow my eyes are clearing–now I start to see,
\nEv’rything that Jesus was God is making me,
\nEv’rything that Jesus was God is making me.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
