Original of the Species

I could hear Jesus speaking to me as I listened to the song below. That has been the theme this week with us...being who He is creating me to become. To move with the rhythms of His grace, to be at one with His heartbeat, and continue to delve into the Mystery. I have been really overwhelmed with His stuff this week...I can feel my heart bursting. Yesterday at the UG Christmas party I saw so much...I spent most of the time thinking and praying. I stood at the counter staring at the newspaper because I felt weird watching people. Last night I laid in bed thinking about all of the stuff and one person kept staying on my mind and I prayed and prayed and prayed. It was really weird having this conversation with someone and seeing so much, that they are trying to cover up. I feel so broken for people...which is a good thing...anyways here is the song:

Baby slow down
The end is not as fun as the start
Please stay a child somewhere in your heart

I'll give you everything you want
Except the thing that you want
You are the first one of your kind

And you feel like no-one before
You steal right under my door
And I kneel 'cos I want you some more
I want the lot of what you got
And I want nothing that you're not

Everywhere you go you shout it
You don't have to be shy about it

Some things you shouldn't get too good at
Like smiling, crying, and celebrity
Some people got way too much confidence baby

I'll give you everything that you want
Except the thing that you want
You are the first one of your kind
