Cemeteries of London - Coldplay - Toiling


Coldplay - Cemeteries of London

by Jarin91
God is in the houses and God is in my head… and all the cemeteries in London…
I see God come in my garden, but I don’t know what he said,
For my heart, it wasn’t open…
Not open…

Hebrews 12:1-2

New International Version (NIV)
12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,
Im convinced Coldplay wrote this song after a semester of English History 101 at the University of London. LOL
Angie and I have stood on the bank of the Thames river and listened to a tour guide speak of all the ghastly things that occurred there throughout history. If any place had ghost and spirits that roamed through the night it would be beneath the Tower Bridge.
Emphasis on goons, ghost, and spirits that roam the earth don't matter a great deal...in the big picture of walking with Christ and eternity. The lyrics that I've posted however are rich with truth...."I see God come in MY garden but I don't know what He said, 'cause my heart wasn't open."
The scripture says that we are surrounded...by witnesses. Huh...maybe that's Godly relatives, grandparents, or others that are cheering us on to finish the race. Can they see us? Really and truly that's not important. What matters is if you see God in your garden and you CAN hear what he says. What corrupts our hearing? Weight. Sin, guilt, worldly concern, anger and so on can throw us off stride in our walk with Him. He knows the way of success and freedom for us. Its not in this world; its in being set free from all the weight of it. Ya follow?
Lighten your load, whatever it is that has stilled His voice.
The nighttime is for weeping; for those who are burdened.
The morning is for sleeping; for those at peace with HIM.
