Two and half weeks ago I injured my thumb. It’s not broken, but it does cause significant discomfort and annoyance, especially considering I can’t move around freely.
Even though I know it will take six weeks to heal, probably longer, I’ve been getting frustrated with the amount of pain and angry with the people around me.
This week’s song comes from a self-titled debut album, Rush Of Fools (2007). The chorus of this song came to mind a few times in the past week, especially the memorable chorus. Those four lines mirror my heart currently with my frustration getting in the way of my relationship with God and others.
Turn me around, pick me up, undo what I’ve become,
Bring me back to the place of forgiveness and grace,
I need you, I need your help, I can’t do this myself,
You’re the only one who can undo what I’ve become.
There are two other things I want to mention. Firstly, there is an acoustic version on Carry Us Now (2014) that I listen to and love. Secondly, this song, on its own, misses something, and that is thankfulness. We need to thank God that he can undo our lives, renew our minds, and heal our pain when we’re humble enough to come to him.
Make every step lead me back to the way that you…
Undo – Rush Of Fools
