Song “Sweet Innocence”
I remember when I was a boy.
Sweet innocence in a world of joy.
Guilt replaced my innocence.
And there’s a shadow over joy.
I got this crazy notion that the world is my toy.
That the world is my toy.
I remember when I used to see Jesus.
His picture leaned up against my goldfish bowl.
I’d wake up in the middle of the night
to see his smiling face.
But I don’t see him anymore
and I feel as if I’ve fallen from grace.
I feel like I’ve fallen from grace.
Don’t ask me what happens, ‘cause I don’t know.
Why we lose our purity as we grow old.
I’d give every penny I made by stabbing backs.
To be that little boy again,
skipping stones and walking
out along the railroad tracks.
And I want to be good again.
I don’t want to be rotten to the core.
I want to be good again.
I don’t want to be selfish anymore.
I want to be good one more time.
Sweet innocence be mine.
Be mine.
Lyrics by Kurt Daniels
The process of healing is a distinct and personal journey for every person. It involves navigating through various challenges, setbacks, and moments of both success and difficulty. However, we are never alone on this journey as we walk alongside God. The Holy Spirit, a divine presence within us, provides internal comfort and guidance. It gives us the strength to endure even the most challenging times. Through the Holy Spirit, we can establish a profound and intimate connection with God, finding comfort in His love and experiencing His healing power in our lives.
"The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me; because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of Yahweh’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to provide for those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, that he may be glorified. They will rebuild the old ruins. They will raise up the places long devastated. They will repair the ruined cities, that have been devastated for many generations. Strangers will stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners will work your fields and your vineyards. But you will be called Yahweh’s priests. Men will call you the servants of our God. You will eat the wealth of the nations, and you will boast in their glory." (Isa 61:1-6 WEB)
