Hey all! I just wanted to share this song that I wrote today. I have had the first line running through my head for the past couple weeks now, but I just couldn't put anything to it. And since I don't have the fun cool techonolgy to share the music with you, I thought that I would let you see the lyrics. Someday I'll find away to get them recorded!!!

Anyway, the story of this song is this: today's sermon was about surrendering. And I couldn't help but thinking on the way home and while I was plunking on the piano about what a hypocrite I can sometimes be. Working in an enviroment that definitely doesn't show the walk of Christ is hard. Now, I don't know their stories or what they believe but there sure isn't a lot of "Jesus talk" in the car dealer business. When I am not with them, I'm fine and I love talking to God. But when I am around them, which is 6 days a week, I find myself falling into the rut of gossiping, and using not so pleasant language and plain out being a not so nice person at times. My temper rears its ugly head quite a bit. LOL And I started thinking about all this and saying it's time to drop this nasty habit and become a stonger person in God. Ignoring the attacks of Satan are tough, but they can be done. With a little prayer, faith and discipline, you can be stronger in your walk.

Charade

I let my tongue defy my heart today
Something inside me just couldn't stop what I said
My words, I'm sure, broke someone's heart today
Why must the hypocrite in me make a daily parade
Stop showing off- you're not doing any good here now

CHORUS
Why do I-Why do I
Keep falling backwards
Why do I-why do I
Ignore the truthful answers
Why do I-Why do I
Feel like hiding in corners
Of my darkest day- I need to stop this charade

If every wrong turn could be turned out right
Then I might have a chance of clarity in sight
But just when I think the coast is clear
There's a monster whispering obsenities in my ear
How do I go-From being the dark into the light

CHORUS

BRIDGE
If I fall on my knees
Begging you please
Would you pick me up again
If I confess my sin
Here deep with in
Would you pick me up again
Would you pick me up again

CHORUS x2

I need to stop this charade

Whoa Mindy, I love the lyrics. I'm dying to know what music you have with it, I wish you were my neighbor so I could lend you my recording stuff so you could make a demo!! This really resonates with my heart right now.

This is really great, Mindy! I really wish I could hear you sing it.

ha....I may have to make a trip over to IN then, eh, Hannah??? Thanks for the kind words. I don't get to display my music much other than outside of church.

WELL Mindy I guess you'd have to stop by my house, too! Since I live in Indy, too! Lol.

I think the Midwest is teaming with downhomies! I think we would outnumber anyone where we go!

Yeah, I'm so jealous of y'all! There are just two of us here in Oregon.

I know what you mean, Becky. I seriously love where I live, and have no inclination to be anywhere else. Except when another downhere concert in the midwest rolls around, and I can't be there with everyone!

mindyracal · « **Reply #15 on:** September 19, 2009, 10:25:00 AM »

one of these times, Emily, you'll make it!

ExtravagantlyLoved · « **Reply #16 on:** September 19, 2009, 11:15:43 AM »

mindyracal · « **Reply #20 on:** September 25, 2009, 2:34:48 PM »

well...I am just working on recording a really, really, really cheesy verison right now. I taped it with my camera and it sounds horrible, but I figured you could get an idea of what it sounds like. I'm battling some funky throat thing, so it's DEFINITELY not my best...ha ha. I tried uploading it to Youtube yesterday, but my computer is being difficult and kept freezing, so I may not get the chance to upload it till tomorrow eveing.

Still have to put heads together with Hannah...maybe we can do something when we are together in November at the concerts???

Twelvestone · « **Reply #21 on:** September 25, 2009, 5:18:06 PM »

Oooh! ooh! you may have convinced me right there to travel to the other show, so we can hang out more! we could start practicing a bit Friday night and then throughout Saturday do some recording!
