Most valuable thing learned from a song?

[PetraGirl86]

Sometimes a shadow dark and cold 
Lays like a mist across the road 
But be encouraged by the sight 
Where there's a shadow, there's a light 

Sometimes it's good to look back down 
We've come so far - we've gained such ground 
But joy is not in where we've been 
Joy is who's waiting at the end

-Road to Zion, Petra 

What's your favorite??

Is every thread you make going to be about Petra??

[PetraGirl86]

No, and this isn't about Petra. It's about whatever song has taught you something. I just chose Petra, because those are priceless lyrics.

Hell's Gates by Wrathchild Amrerica

When you see me comin'
and you hear my cry
you see the look of fear
and the chill in my eye

 

you play the killers game, all the faces have no names
he'll come to hunt you out and he'll live to cut you down
now your god can't help you, you are on your own
he'll drag you through the fiery gates to bow before his throne

 

Satan waits
at hells gates
Desecrate
pain, torture, hate

Destruction lies far down below
Hells gates are filled with fire
Love has no hidden meaning
You're cursed and damned a liar

Satan waits
at hells gates
Desecrate
pain, torture, hate

 

Live in hatred die in grief
Challenging my disbelief
Burning flames are boiling my brain
Lucifer inflicting the pain

Wretched life that didn't matter
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
You lie decaying your final chapter

Your misused soul lies in his clutch

 

You got nowhere to run got nowhere to hide
There's turmoil all around you like
The coming of the tide
Now you can't help but wonder
About your after life
When you wake up dead
Horns or halo, burn or fly

 

Live in hatred die in grief
Challenging my disbelief
Burning flames are boiling my brain
Lucifer inflicting the pain

Okay I'm gona get stufff, but I love Jesus so much 

We Need Jesus- Petra 

When will the world 
See that we need Jesus? 
If we open our eyes 
We will all realize 
That He loves us 
When will the world 
See that we need Jesus? 
When our hearts are as one 
And believe that He's the Son of our God 

The Lord is our God 
And we shall never want 
The Lord is our God 
And we shall live forever 
When we share the love of Jesus 
See each other as He sees us 
Then His love will see us through 
His love will see us through 

When will the world 
See that we need Jesus? 
When sister and brother 
Love one another as one 
When will the world 
See that we need Jesus? 
Will we ever understand 
Jesus is the Son of man? 
We must live in the shadow of His love 

When will the world 
See that we need Jesus? 
If we open our eyes 
We will all realize 
That He loves us 
When will the world 
See that we need Jesus? 
When our hearts are as one 
And believe that He's the Son of our God 

When will the world 
See that we need Jesus? 
When sister and brother 
Love one another as one 
When will the world 
See that we need Jesus? 
Will we ever understand 
Jesus is the Son of man? 
We must live in the shadow of His love

Petra Fools Gold 

Some say this life is only foolishness 
No waiting pot of gold in the faith that I possess 
But the treasures of this life will slowly turn to dust 
And this fool will find His gold in the Savior that I trust 

Fool's gold it's waiting in a crown 
Fool's gold in a city coming down 
I'll leave the gold I can't afford 
For the higher prize I'm pressing toward 
I'll preach the foolish cross of Christ 
And wait for my reward 
Fool's gold 

The wisdom of the cross is easy to receive 
But only foolishness to them that don't believe 
They may say that I'm a fool for the cross that I proclaim 
But the gold that I must seek won't be found in earthly fame 

When the crowns of gold all lay before His feet 
Then the worthy Lamb of God is the treasure we will keep 
Some may call me foolish some may call me odd 
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of men 
Than a fool in the eyes of God

Ha! The words I'm always sticking to-Petra just has amazing lyrics!!

Oddly enough, she's actually right, Karpetface. I always thought you were male? 

Anyway, not sure I've really learned anything valuable from a song, if I'm being honest. But I learned some pretty cool things from the Steel Panther albums that I'd previous not heard before, lol. I was not aware of 'The Shocker' before... 

[Darkstone]

Listening to some "Firehouse" today. The first tim I heard this song it moved me. 25 odd years later it still does. Great song and great message, although it is easier said than done.

speaking about food and learning, I remember learning what a vegemite sandwich is from a Men at Work song, though not sure how valuable that is

That's what my mom said! She had an Australian classmate and she brought a jar to school. My sister had me try some- it's very salty and not my favorite. But that's pretty cool!

Never have it straight out of the jar. Try a small amount on a slice of buttered toast.
