BRUISES

Snippet

A bruise is a lesson...and each lesson makes us better. 

- Arya Stary   Game Of Thrones quotes  

Scripture

A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, till he has brought justice through to victory. Matthew 12:20 NIV

Haven't seen you since high school

Good to see you're still beautiful

Gravity hasn't started to pull

Quite yet I bet you're rich as hell

One that's five and one that's three

Been two years since he left me

Good to know that you got free

That town I know was keeping you down on your knees

These bruises make for better conversation

Loses the vibe that separates

It's good to let you in again

You're not alone in how you've been

Everybody loses, we all got bruises

We all got bruises

Have you seen him? Not in years

How about her? No but I hear

She's in Queens with the man of her dreams

Funny back then she said that about you

Que sera you'll never guess who I saw

Remember Johnny B remember him we were best friends practically

Let's do this soon again, ten years is that what it's been?

Can't believe how time flies by

Leaving you makes me wanna cry

These bruises make for better conversation

Loses the vibe that separates

It's good to let you in again

You're not alone in how you've been

Everybody loses, we all got bruises

We all got bruises

I would love to fix it all for you

I would love to fix you too

Please don't fix a thing whatever you do

These bruises make for better conversation

Loses the vibe that separates

It's good to know you've got a friend

That you remember now and then

Everybody loses

These bruises make for better conversation

Loses the vibe that separates

It's good to let you in again

You're not alone in how you've been

Everybody loses,everybody loses, everybody loses

We all got bruises, We all got bruises, We all got bruises

Sentence Prayer

Jesus

You have promised to not

Break this bruised reed beyond repair.

For every bruise, may it be a lesson to

Be more like you!

May the smoldering wick of my heart

help me to have compassion for others.

Amen
