City on our Knees
If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave

Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It’s all up tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave

Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It’s all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh

Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
Tonight could last forever
Ooh
Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
As family
We’re family
Oh Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
You and me
Ya, you and me
Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a glorious display
Cuz its all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
If we gotta start somewhere why not here
If we gotta start sometime why not now

I was going to write about counting one's blessing when this song started playing on Joy FM, and when I heard the first few lines, I thought, 'Hey, thats true. If you're gonna start counting your blessings, why not start now? why not start here?' At times, we just see past our blessings and criticize and complain for whatever that seems to be even a little flawed in our sight. Instead of looking at the dirt on the window plane, why not start looking at the meadow and field outside the window? I just need to be reminded from time to time, that each and everything comes from Him. Even little little blessings that often, doesn't seems to make any difference, without. Life just keeps going on and sometimes we just get so caught up in the busy-ness of things and miss out on the simple things that bring joy in life. Yes, indeed, time and tide waits for no man. But once the time has gone, we don't have a UNO deck to pull the 'reverse' card out, for there is, no reverse here. So, let us all slow down, and not trailing the pace of others. Move at your own pace that you may not miss out on counting the blessings that has been bestowed upon you by Him who deeply loves you.
