The Way We Go About It Matters
This evening I am going to read the lyrics from a song I really like. The writer of the song is Kyle Matthews. The song is called The Way We Go About It and it is from his album See For Yourself.
Years ago, she read a letter from the teacher
Sent home with her third-grade son
Tested on some reading
He had been caught cheating
“Why?”, she said
“You told me to make good grades”, he said.
She tried to explain.
“Son, the way we go about it matters
It’s the testimony of the heart
Yes, the way we go about it matters
It’s the proof of who we are”.
Eight years down the road
He’s in a load of trouble
Drugs get him expelled from school
Mother stands her ground
He curses her and heads for town
And says, “It’s good money
For the things we need”
But she says, “It’s worth nothing to me
‘Cause the way we go about it matters
It’s the testimony of the heart
Yes, the way we go about it matters
It’s the proof of who we truly are”
Who we truly are
Tonight, she’ll welcome home
The boy she raised alone
Who has done his time in prison like his father
Friends will come, they’ll dance and laugh
She’ll prepare the fatted calf
And at her table, he will take the seat of honor
And she’ll hold him in her arms
Because the way we go about it matters
It’s the testimony of the heart
Yes, the way we go about it matters
It’s the proof of who we truly are
Who we truly are
Brothers, they way we go about it does matter. Riches, worldly success, power, what does that mean without honor, kindness and love toward our fellow man? Many of you will recognize the story of the prodigal son reflected in the lines of the song. God does love us and will welcome us to Him despite our sins. But the way we go about our lives matters to Him. He wants us to follow His word and His way. That is a way of Glory, of something beyond ourselves, where we can be High Impact Men and strive to be something holy that just isn’t rewarded in our sinful world. But it matters.
Prayers
Prayers of praise for Steam’s baby girl, Anastasia. Prayers for Steam and his wife, Megan, in raising their daughter. Prayers for all traveling at this time during Spring Break. Prayers for High Heels who is on a trip to Spain at this time.
