How could I do this?

No pictures today. Just thoughts.

I led a House Group last night. We had a good talk about Hidden Heroes from what Bolt said at IMC last Sunday morning when I was preaching at Burton.

How did I know what he said? Well, I listened to the tape. Then I wrote notes from it and went through them with the group.

This morning I asked myself, and the Lord, how I could do this when I am suffering from depression. The answer came as I saw the light of the sun shining through the clouds. The sun still shines even though the clouds are there.

We looked at the words of Search for the Hero, that classic song by M People. They are a counterpoint to TEARS OF A CLOWN.


Search For The Hero
by M People


Sometimes the river flows but nothing breathes
A train arrives but never leaves
It's a shame
Oh, life like love that's walked out of the door
Of being rich or being poor
Such a shame


But it's then, then that faith arrives
To make your feelings alive
And that's why (why) you should keep on aiming high
Just seek yourself and you will shine


Chorus:
You've got to search for the hero inside yourself
Search for the secrets you hide
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life


In this life, long and hard though it may seem
Live it as you'd live a dream
Aim so high
Just keep the flame of truth burning bright
The missing treasure you must find
Mm, mm, mm


Because you and only you alone
Can build a bridge across the stream
Weave your spell in life's rich tapestry
Your passport to a feeling supreme


Chorus


You've got to search inside yourself
Deep, deep down inside yourself, yeah
You've got to search inside yourself


Chorus


Search for the hero inside yourself (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Search for the secrets you hide (all of the secrets you hide)
Search for the hero inside yourself (you'll find the hero)
Until you find the key to your life


You've got to search inside yourself - You've got to search
