​WHEN I LOOK AT THE WORLD

So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it's no use
I can't see what you see
Jesus: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 NIV
I’m in the waiting room
Can't see for the smoke
I think of you and your holy book
While the rest of us choke
Jesus: “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means... The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful.” Matthew 13:18-22 NIV

#Bono: “I can’t see for the smoke. I think of you and your Holy Book, while the rest of us CHOKE”#Jesus: “The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life... CHOKE the word” Mt 13:22 NIV #U2
