The History of Thought

"Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile, or the light won't come in." ~Alan Alda

Altar Boyz -- Calling

[Matt]
Looking outside of my window
Watching the world passing by
Feeling so terribly lonely
Wanting to sit down and cry

Suddenly I felt a presence
Ending my deep dark fears
There was this heavenly sound
Of something ringing in my ears

Jesus called me on my cell phone(Jesus called me on my cell phone)
No roaming charges were incurred (ooooo)
He told me that I should go out in the world
And (ahh) spread His glorious word (word)

[Mark]
Walking the streets of the city
Feeling such feelings of strife
Leaving my friends all behind me
Running away from my life

Suddenly I felt a presence
I got a second chance
There was this vibrating feeling
On the belt-loop of my pants

Jesus paged me on my beeper (Jesus paged me on my beeper)
He called from Heaven up above (ooooo)
He said I should go to the ends of the Earth (ahhh)
And spread His glorious love (love)
OOohOooOh

[Abe]
I’m losing your signal, Lord
Can you try your call again?
Please Lord, I’m a losing ya
I’m a going in a tunnel and I can’t see the light!

[All]
Jesus

[Luke]
Called me on my cell phone (dialing his Nokia He called me on the phone)
The clearest voice I ever heard yeah

He beeped me! (He beeped me)
He faxed me! (He faxed me)
He emailed my soul!

And said (and said)
Till the day I'm dead (till the day I’m dead)
That I must spread His glorious word. (word)
oooooooo

All For The Best - Godspell: Broadway Musical

When you feel sad, or under a curse
Your life is bad, your prospects are worse
Your wife is sighing, crying,
And your olive tree is dying,
Temples are graying, and teeth are decaying
And creditors weighing your purse...
Your mood and your robe
Are both a deep blue
You'd bet that Job
Had nothing on you...
Don't forget that when you get to Heaven you'll be blessed..
Yes, it's all for the best...

Some men are born to live at ease, doing what they please,
Richer than the bees are in honey
Never growing old, never feeling cold
Pulling pots of gold from thin air
The best in every town, best at shaking down
Best at making mountains of money
They can't take it with them, but what do they care?
They get the center of the meat, cushions on the seat
Houses on the street where it's sunny...
Summers at the sea, winters warm and free
All of this and we get the rest...
But who is the land for? the sun and the sand for?
You guessed! It's all for the best...

Don't forget that when you get to Heaven you'll be blessed!
Yes, it's all for the.....(all your wrongs will be redressed..)
Yes, it's all for the.....(you must never be distressed....)
Yes, it's all for the.....(someone's got to be oppressed!)
Yes, it's all for the best!!!

Finland - Monty Python

Finland, Finland, Finland.
The country where I want to be,
Pony trekking or camping,
Or just watching TV,
Finland, Finland, Finland.
It's the country for me.

You're so near to Russia.
So far from Japan,
Quite a long way from Cairo,
Lots of miles from Vietnam.

Finland, Finland, Finland.
The country where I want to be,
Eating breakfast or dinner,
Or snack lunch in the Hall,
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.

You're so sadly neglected,
And often ignored.
A poor second to Belgium,
When going abroad.

Finland, Finland, Finland.
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall,
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.

Finland, Finland, Finland.
The country where I quite want to be,
Your treetops so tall,
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.

Finland has it all ...
