diction

I've been quite obsessed with listening to John Mark McMillan lately. A lot of his lyrics are really thought provoking. One song is called Carbon Ribs and I wanted a definition of Carbon. Carbon as a verb is to fill with carbon dioxide which escapes in the form of bubbles. The lyrics read... "Cause I'm a dead man now with a ghost who lives within the confines of these carbon ribs and one day when I'm free I will sit the cripple at your table the cripple by your side." I haven't completly dissected it yet but here's what I'm thinking. When we give our life to Christ we die to ourself. I believe we need to die to self daily. As followers of Christ we've been equipped with the Holy Spirit inside of us or the Holy GHOST. As we walk on this earth our Holy Ghost will be confined inside us or if we want to view it with Mister John, inside our carbon ribs. But I love the end of the definition... "Which escapes in the form of bubbles." We can not contain God. We can't place him in a box, he's just too big. And we are his and he is ours but I'm a firm believer in sharing everything. I don't think we need to become selfish at all when it comes to God. I mean truly nothing we own or have bought is ours in the first place. We need to release him. And when we release bubbles I think of innocence. We make God to be so complex and even I get a stutter when I try to speak of the word of God. I try to sound intellectual but if I'm going out to release God to others I need to release him off in an innocent, childish, comprehendable, loving manner.... And there are just some words I like for no apparent reason and I like the word cripple. We're all crippled... face it..
