Me without You?

I'm not a huge Avalon fan, but I was listening to this song this week and a line in it really hit me. (See below, emphasis added to said line.) Have you ever fallen into the trap of living like the world? You start to think that, hey, this isn't so bad. I can still be a Christian and do some of the things the world thinks is ok (even though my gut tells me it's wrong). The Bible doesn't specifically say that this is wrong, so I can justify it. I can live without seeking God on this. You convince yourself that no one will get hurt. But, really, you're hurting yourself and you're hurting God. When you truly know Jesus Christ, you will never be the same inside. You can go back to living like the world, but you will KNOW that it is wrong. The Spirit living inside you knows it's wrong. We long to be close to Jesus and to the truth, even when we stray from the path.


Avalon - I Don't Want To Go
From the album Oxygen

You changed my world
When You came to me
You drove a passion
In my soul down deep
Lord, to follow You in everything

I don’t want to go somewhere
If I know that You’re not there
'CAUSE I KNOW THAT ME WITHOUT YOU
IS A LIE
And I don’t want to walk that road
Be a million miles from home
Cause my heart needs to be
Where You are
So I don’t want to go

So come whatever
I’ll stick with You
I’ll walk You’ll lead me
Call me crazy or a fool
For forever I promise You that

Without Your touch
Without Your love
Filling me like an ocean
For Your grace is enough
Enough for me
To never want to go somewhere
If I know that You’re not there
