Day Twenty - A Band that You Immediately Liked and the Song That Made You Like Them (2nd Post Today)

I would have to go w/ Casting Crowns on this one. I've listened to our local Christian radio station for years now, so I know I've heard many of their songs, but it wasn't until last year though that I really took notice of them. Their song Slow Fade came out & the more I listened to the words of the song, the more I loved the lesson that comes across for all of us. It's really made me think about a lot of the things I've read, watched, or listened to. (BTW - This song was played in the movie Fireproof, too...a GREAT movie! Check it out if you haven't seen it yet!)



"Slow Fade" by Casting Crowns

Be careful little eyes what you see
It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
Be careful little feet where you go
For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade

Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day

The journey from your mind to your hands
Is shorter than you're thinking
Be careful if you think you stand
You just might be sinking

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day

Oh be careful little eyes what see
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
For the Father up above is looking down in love
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
