How Long O Lord?

 

Psalm 13

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

How long, O Lord ? Will you forget us forever?
How long will you hide your face from us?

How long must we wrestle with our thoughts 
and every day have sorrow in our heart?
How long will our enemy triumph over us?

psalm_lord  

"How long, O Lord?"

Look on us and answer, O Lord our God. 
Give light to our eyes, or we will sleep in death;

our enemy will say, "I have overcome them,"
and our foes will rejoice when we fall.

But we trust in your unfailing love;
our heart rejoices in your salvation.

We will sing to the Lord,
for he has been good to us.

It was very inspiring reading about the protest today in Washington, DC!!

"We are faithfull, we all believe, we all believe it" ~ Pearl Jam's "Faithfull"
(Two L's were on purpose to make it plural, coined by the singer Eddie Vedder)

We MUST NOT GIVE UP!!!

Yes, the rally to the Capitol is the most significant step toward our victory! We will see the face of Him finally shine on us!

My apologies for posting again...but I felt bad about snipping that song.
I'm a Pearl Jam Freak and I swear, lately, nearly ALL songs written applies to what's going on now.
Eddie Vedder said in an interview that he does NOT like to tell the meaning of each song, because he wanted the listeners/fans to become part-owners of those songs.

I'm not going to interpret what this song means because it's not fair of me to tell you what *I* think. Here goes the full song. :) I wish I could see this in ASL!!!

I hope it makes sense! :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FAITHFULL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Plaque on the wall says that no one's slept here
It's rare to come upon a bridge that has not been around
Or been stepped on
Whatever the notion, we laced in our prayers
The man upstairs is used to all of this noise
I'm through with screaming

And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
Like echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes like this
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it

And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
Were' faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
So faithful, we all believe, we all believe it

M.Y.T.H. is
Belief in the game controls that keeps us in a box of fear
We never listen
Voice inside so drowned out
Drowned you are, you are, you are a furry thing
And everything is you
Me you, you me, it's all related
What's a boy to do?
Just be darling and I will be too
Faithful to you

Nice song. I like Eddie Vedder. It is a challenge to interpret his music.

Yeah, Eddie Vedder is a down to earth guy! :)

He pulled up my interpreter for the Detroit show... my interpreter freaked out.

"Don't be nervous," he told her, "I want you to show the audience how to communicate with the Deaf."

So he sang "Given To Fly" and the interpreter signing the song! It was AWESOME!!!

I love how he looks out for diversity in his audience! :) :)

Yeah, he did. :)

They even put it up on their homepage showing him and the interpreter. I was in disbelief! Even Ten Club's (a fan club which I'm a member of) photographer said I made her smile. She took several pictures of the interpreter and put one on the bootleg for everyone to download. I had goosebumps all over me!!!

*sighs*

I wrote them a letter regarding an interpreter that showed up on their Touring Band 2000 DVD, a St. Louis interpreter where she was also pulled up to sign "Given To Fly" because Eddie couldn't help but being distracted and thought she was "more interesting to watch than the band, except for maybe, Matt (drummer)" (Matt shook his head no in this video).

So this terp was being snipped here and there, I was frustrated. Couldn't see the whole song!

So I suggested if they ever did this again...to please focus on the terp the ENTIRE song so the deafies can view the entire song - perhaps as an bonus feature on DVD or something.

Well, they sure did - I saw the cameraman focusing on the terp the entire time!

I don't know if it'll ever show up on their next touring band or not!

But it sure was nice of them to remember my letter! :D :D

Did I mention they spoiled me with setlists, drumsticks, picks, Ed's corkscrew... ;)
