Please forgive me of time wasted...

A song by Nickel Creek resonates with me today...

Let's back up for a sec... I ADORE, heart, love Nickel Creek (my most favorite song is The Lighthouse Tale - such a gorgeous, haunting love song...but will talk about that another time - oh so love that song!).

I digress... they have another song called Doubting Thomas... and THIS song is the one that resonates with me right now... Don't watch the video it is not theirs... (& it didn't match with what the song meant to me). Just listen... it really can take all different meanings. For me... it has everything to do with what's going on here in my life - right now. Again I am amazed how music can just mold and melt to our lives to help us through or coast along side.

I am a Doubting Thomas...

"Doubting Thomas"

What will be left when I've drawn my last breath
Besides the folks I've met and the folks who've known me
Will I discover a soul-saving love
Or just the dirt above and below me

I'm a doubting Thomas
I took a promise
But I do not feel safe
Oh me of little faith

Sometimes I pray for a slap in the face
Then I beg to be spared cause I'm a coward
If there's a master of death
I bet he's holding his breath
As I show the blind and tell the deaf about his power

I'm a doubting Thomas
I can't keep my promises
Cause I don't know what's safe
Oh me of little faith

Can I be used to help others find truth
When I'm scared I'll find proof that it's a lie
Can I be led down a trail dropping bread crumbs
That prove I'm not ready to die

Please give me time to decipher the signs
Please forgive me for time that I've wasted

I'm a doubting Thomas
I'll take your promise
Though I know nothin's safe
Oh me of little faith

Please forgive me for the time I've wasted...

Huh. Time's a very precious thing isn't it?
