MARCH 11 / WEEK THREE

I got a bit of Bad News this week.

The kind where "looking on the bright side" does no good. It's just Bad News.

Here’s what's strange to me: I wrote this song before getting the Bad News this week. Isn't that just the way it works.

And I feel that I would be a terrible friend if I didn't say the following:

God is a Shelter in hard times.

Sometimes He gives insight into the Why’s, sometimes He doesn’t. But, He has taught me something recently.

Being a Shelter isn’t something He does for you and I, it’s something He is. Everyday.

And especially when Bad News comes our way.

- Keeton

lyrics

It’s having coffee at the sunrise, before you open up your eyes
No need to try and keep the door locked, it’s waiting in the mailbox
Take a look down the road, it’s that old friend that we know.
I think it’s best we should go, forget your coat, no matter… here he comes love.

Bad news, coming to find you. Coming find you…
Don’t even have to leave your house honey.
Bad news, coming to find you. Coming to find you, where you are.

Here comes the night.

Write a long, long letter back home.
Tell em that you’re alright, tell em you’re alright but you know
That you’re never, ever gonna be the same
This ain’t no make-believe, honey this ain’t no game
You’re bruised and you’re broken, baby you need repair
But I need to be honest; You need to beware of this…

Bad news, coming to find you. Coming find you…
Don’t even have to leave your house honey.
Bad news, coming to find you. Coming to find you, where you are.

We could stay home honey, and board up the doors
Drink so much that we can’t help but ignore
All the noise outside, and the robbers up the road
I ain’t got no solution, and you ain’t got control

Maybe we finally look each other deep in the eye
Admit this situation ain’t that much of a surprise
We’re helpless here honey, and deep in the pain
need a little shelter here in the rain… from this bad news
