Wonderwall by Oasis

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day?
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after an
You're my wonderwall

Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

I am known to correct people quite often, it is one of my weaknesses. Way back a long time ago, at a job far far away, I earned the nickname Wonderwall. It happened because this guy was singing the song, and he kept screwing up the lyrics. I had to correct him. Ever since then I would walk into work and he would start singing to me. Ah, youth.

I don't know what caused me to think of this, but I just googled the lyrics. (Could it be googling words to a musical I haven't seen since 6th grade?)

It is amazing how we all need a Savior. It is ingrained into our blood, our genes. How else could Superman still be so popular? Wouldn't you like it if someone came and destroyed Osama Bin Laden? I can just see Superman now flying over the mountains in Afghanistan...

Jesus is exactly the Savior that is ingrained in our blood. From the beggining of time, it was God's plan for us. 2Timothy chapter 1:

9It is God who saved us and chose us to live a holy life. He did this not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan long before the world began--to show his love and kindness to us through Christ Jesus.

10And now he has made all of this plain to us by the coming of Christ Jesus, our Savior, who broke the power of death and showed us the way to everlasting life through the Good News. So if you ever feel like you want Superman to come by, pray to God. Only Jesus can fill the void in us and save us. From Romans 3: 22We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done. 23For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard. 24Yet now God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty. He has done this through Christ Jesus, who has freed us by taking away our sins. 25For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy God's anger against us. We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood, sacrificing his life for us. God was being entirely fair and just when he did not punish those who sinned in former times. 26And he is entirely fair and just in this present time when he declares sinners to be right in his sight because they believe in Jesus.

Sounds pretty good eh? I know I have a superhero in my life. Thank you Christ Jesus, my Wonderwall.
