| Xdelirium-triggerX-hahahahaha... "zao is good"... simple, yet specific to the last detail. I do have to say that this song it like the last line of the song... forgive and release forgive and release forgiven released. even though we are pulled down by people around us(christian or non-believers) and we go through trials and such things... we must forgive them so that we can release that. ya know? then we also can be forgiven, released. awesome stuff... lets close in scripture...Isaiah 43:24 You have not bought me sweet cane with money, or satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened me with your sins, you have wearied me with your iniquities. 25 "I, I am He who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.... God forgives us of our sins because they are a burden to him... he loves us and doesn't want to see us stumble... so when someones sins are becoming a burden to you... forgive them. | |
