ACROBAT

Don't believe what you hear
Don't believe what you see
​If you just close your eyes you can feel the enemy
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Romans 8:7 KJV
 
Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. Colossians 1:21 NIV
And you can dream, so dream out loud
You know that your time is coming round
So don't let the bastards grind you down
Jesus: "Don’t be bluffed into silence by the threats of bullies. There’s nothing they can do to your soul, your core being." Matthew 10:28 MSG
And I'd join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah, I'd break bread and wine
​If there was a church
​I could receive in
Cos I need it now
To take the cup
To fill it up
To drink it slow
I can't let you go
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." Matthew 26:26-28 NIV
What are we going to do now it's all been said?
No new ideas in the house, and every book's been read
History merely repeats itself. Nothing is truly new; it has all been done or said before. What can you point to that is new? Ecclesiastes 1:9-12 TLB

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9 NIV
And you can find your own way out. And you can build, and I can will... And I can love, and I can love... So don't let the bastards grind you down
Jesus: "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you..." Matthew 5:44 KJV
