No Gray, No sheds of Gray.
I want to write…I want to write so much about this topic,I have a lot I can say but where to start…where to start. It’s not an easy walk, it’s not taking a cup of tea, it’s not a walk in the park, it’s nothing easy at all. Salvation.
I was listening to one of my favorite Gospel Artiste Jonathan McReynolds’ song - No Gray and this quickly sent me to a self-questioning mode. Are there gray areas in my life? Do I have internal conflits regarding the Black and White areas in my life? I’m I split in two part of me loves the world, part of me loves God? Do I want to stay saved yet still stay ‘cool’?
These are just a fraction of the questions in the array of questions I asked myself and sadly the answer to all the question is yes. I am going to post the youtube link to the song here and the Lyrics here for you.
NO GRAY
[Verse 1]
Lord, I’m split in two
Part of me loves the world
And the other loves You
So, what do I do
I wanna be saved
But I got to stay cool, too
And no I’m not a fool
I know eventually I’m gonna have to choose
And, really I don’t wanna lose
My ticket into heaven
And a chance to be used by You
[Chorus]
And if it’s God that I’m after
I just can’t serve two masters
And before something happens
I got to turn it all around
Because I know
I can’t just have my cake and eat it too
Cause it’s real easy to stay on the fence and still do you
And it’d be cool if we could love the Lord and still go do our thing
But see it doesn’t work like that
You gotta to be white or black
[Verse 2]
See I’ve realized
When it comes to sin
You just don’t compromise
It’s a matter of death and life
Be weak and do wrong
Or be strong and do right
And I don’t wanna keep going to church
Singing all about how much You’re worth
And then continue doing my dirt
Living as if I didn’t care if You’re hurt
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Lord I really need you to help me
Get it together
Saints, we really gotta
Get it together
[Chorus]
No it don’t work like that
You gotta be white or black
[Outro]
No Gray
No shades of gray
Don’t work like that
No gray
I will let the song and it’s lyrics speak to you. My sincere hope is that it will touch you as it did to me. If your gray areas let God take control. A prayer of surrender & serenity will do the magic.
I leave you with Psalms 46:10 “Be still and know that I am God.”
