consider the ravens

i've got bills to pay
taxman on my tail
just keep prayin' that
the check's in the mail

there are times it seems
when everything's lost
and i'm moaning, i'm tossed
and i see

between the river and the ravens i'm fed
between oblivion and the blazes i'm led
so father give me faith, providence and grace
between the river and ravens i'm fed
sweet deliver, oh you lift up my head
and lead me in your way

i've grown sick and tired
of trying to stand still
i've learned to let the wind
pull me where it will

throw myself into
the will of the wait
i can never be great
'til we're free

between the river and the ravens i'm fed
between oblivion and the blazes i'm led
so father give me faith, providence and grace
between the river and ravens i'm fed
sweet deliver, oh you lift up my head
and lead me in your way

although i'm walking through
the valley of the shadow of death
evils all around
it's coming from the right and the left

trust that i will see
the glory above
oh, your banner of love
flies over me

between the river and the ravens i'm fed
between oblivion and the blazes i'm led
so father give me faith, providence and grace
between the river and ravens i'm fed
sweet deliver, oh you lift up my head
and lead me in your way

"what is true is that if you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original"


this man is amazing. i found this clip on the TED website (ted.com - also amazing) when doing some research for one of my grad profs. that same day she ordered his book "the element." she finished it and now i have it in my possession. it is soooo good. not only is it going to be used as the text for the class i am helping her develop on universal design instruction, but it is possibly going to be a required reading for all incoming bsu freshman. and we're going to try to get sir ken robinson to come and speak on campus.... a girl can only dream.
