Slow Fade

This is my current all-favorite song right now.  It is from one of my favorite movies right now.  The reason why I like it so much, though, is that it is a constant reminder to me of how hard Tim and I need to work on our family.  We're not perfect and we'll make mistakes, but the last time we'd ever want is for Natty or Nathan to have to ultimately pay the price.  I hear this song on KSGN almost every morning driving to work.  It is an encouragement me, because despite my longing to stay at home with the kiddos, I know it's not my season to.  This song reminds me that Natty watches Tim and my every move.  More and more, she is learning by imitating us.  We definitely want her (and Nathan) to see the love of Christ is our lives and how we walk, talk, and act.  Hope you guys enjoy the lyrics.  Oh, and my absolute favorite part is when the little child sings the end.  It really pulls at your heart.  =)
Casting Crowns - Slow Fade
Be careful little eyes what you see
It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
Be careful little feet where you go
For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade
Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
The journey from your mind to your hands
Is shorter than you're thinking
Be careful if you think you stand
You just might be sinking
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day
Oh be careful little eyes what see
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
For the Father up above is looking down in love
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
