Stuck on Repeat

This song has been stuck on repeat, literally a broken record in my head. The first time I heard the song, I enjoyed it because it was something new that wasn't rap and it was easy to harmonize with (cheesy reasons, I know!). Last time I heard the song though, a whole new meaning came about. I realized that if I had a message for the devil and it were in the form of a song, this would be it.

Here are the lyrics and a link to the video.. (also, there's some pretty sweet lyrical/modern dancing in the video, another bonus!)



Christina Perri - Jar of Hearts

I know I can’t take one more step towards you
Cause all that’s waiting is regret
And don’t you know I’m not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are
Running ‘round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Who do you think you are?

I hear you’re asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

And I’ve learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are
Running ‘round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
Form the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Who do you think you are?

Dear, it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how you put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
Cause you broke all your promises
And now you’re back
You don’t get to get me back

And who do you think you are
Running ‘round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
Form the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Don’t come back at all

And who do you think you are
Running ‘round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
Form the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?


God's Mighty Hand

There are so many times when I just need God.. and now is one of them. The greatest part of that..is that He already knows, and He is already there waiting for me. I am so thrilled by this thought.

Thank you, God. For being the only person who has ever known me and for being a God I can trust and acknowledge as my Savior. You are mighty and strong. Stronger than this world. And I love that. Thank you for being a loving, merciful God. I know you are there when I need you, and I know that will never change. Thank you, Lord.
