"Slow Fade"

I first heard this song when I watched the movie "Fireproof" and it is amazing. It really speaks the truth. It doesn't take a day for someone to stumble and fall, it is a slow fade. This song doesn't just relate to relationships, it relates to singles when they stumble and fall, like a Christian fading away from their faith. Recently, I have seen one of my friends who has seemed to slowly fade away from her faith. We have to be careful what we say, hear, see, and where we go. It could lead down a bad path. If you are starting to fade away from something good to something bad, I strongly encourage you to find help. Find someone who you can talk to and who can keep you accountable for your actions. Find someone who will pray for you and guide you as you turn your life around. Also, pray to God that he will help you overcome your failure and  rediscover him.

Read the lyrics to this song and let them just speak to you. If you ever listen to this song, take to heart what the young girl is singing at the end. I will bold that section of the lyrics so you know what part it is.

"Slow Fade" by Casting Crowns

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
