Junior
Former NFL player Junior Seau was found dead today after an apparent suicide. Depression is heavy, share the burden. Friends: be present, serve each other, and love.
Things
You’re not entitled to them; you’re privileged with them.

Oceans Have No Favorites
1 Well, I’m afraid, God. I’m not totally sure where the next step is
Or even if said step is gonna take me any closer to heaven
What if the worst happens? And I walk West until I hit the Pacific
And I wash away in the ocean along with all of my habits
5 Good or bad, it’s no matter, oceans don’t play favorites
I just want to be able to know I’m doing your will...
Happy Easter
To be separated from God is to be a son with no father
It’s like being an ocean bed with no blankets of water
There is one that took our place, His view of God’s face was severed
He became the drought so that we could drink from His side forever
Pushing It
The beauty of Christ isn’t simply that He died for your sins. He also conquered death through resurrection. Therefore, not only are your sins atoned for, but death has NO sting. If you’re not the church-going type, please consider going to church today. You may hear something that makes sense.
Gravity
When your world is turned upside-down, thank God for gravity.
We Are All Wrong
Found this today. Just some thoughts from a couple of months ago.
1 When something gets some attention
I’ve gotta find the flaws in it
Cause 6 million souls in just two days
Have seen apparent damage that moves them to work for heart change
5 It’s not to say that it was perfect
Or that I’ve pledged an allegiance
But the fact that I can’t escape
Whether wrong or not, our opinions are always...

Happiness Is
Can I come home
Home so I can watch my kids grow
Implications
Paint me so I look like a drunk
I am done
I am done
Ain’t marriage great when there’s one in a cage
‘81, oh my, how you’ve changed
Litigation is required
I have to protect my funds
So I’m checked out
And made my own checking account
But you have to file
Cause I won’t file
I heard from...
Well...
You have a limited amount that you can give of yourself. No matter how far you dig, eventually, your own cup will run dry. This goes for every person. The Holy Spirit is an endless well. Fill your cups with the Holy Spirit… always.
Recluse
The spider in this is labeled as a “she” (Much more poetic than “it”)
1 Her dainty legs sidestep potential plight
Though spineless, her legs still walk a straight line
Her markings suggest a unique design
More than distant eyes can identify
5 Recluse is respectful with no pretense
No shallow assumptions or harsh judgements
She has humility like a lamp stand
And fine hair that feels like silk in...

Peace is a Fruit, Not The Tree
If you’re a strong believer in peace, please know that I am not writing this article/essay/what-have-you to endorse war, conflict, or dissension. In fact, I’m writing to promote peace—not the peace that signs a document with half-truths and empty promises, but a genuine peace that surpasses all understanding. Now, what are you standing behind by fighting for peace? I understand...

Negotiating Ghosts
1 I’ve spent so much time negotiating with ghosts
Negotiating how much I’ll allow them to know me
However, much dancing around reason and logic
Has lead me to question their very existence
5 I’ll improvise as many reasons as I want
But the validity will always fall short of concrete thought
Sometimes truth is more like water or air, you can’t grab a handful of it
But...
I Want You to Think I'm Funny
I’ve been thinking a lot about Facebook, twitter, and now my sudden interest in tumblr (mostly because I’ve been at home all day). If somebody looked at my page, they wouldn’t exactly find a whole lot that points to my faith. I would like to let you know right now: if you’re not a Christian, I believe that these ensuing thoughts can bring insight, as well as shed some light...
Here’s an acoustic cover of one of my...
Horizontal Liar
1 I’m a warrior—standing tall and righteous
A pride that won’t fall. I’m humble and I know it
I’d better better myself if I want to taste heaven
I’ll never, never burn so I can still get in
5 I see the queen in her beckoning attire
She came into town looking for a bright young squire
The queen, she picked me (the last thing I expect)
But the bed of royalty was not my intent
9 As I lay down...

and Junk
Hey everybody, my name is Chance. I’m a singer/songwriter from a band called Sounds of Satellites. I just decided that I’m gonna start posting lyrics, songs, and other random junk. I hope that you enjoy my random thoughts, rants, and musings. I just like posting new things and I wanted a place that I could do it without spamming facebook walls.
