Hope and Change: Eye On The Finish Line

Pedro The Lion: Eye on the Finish Line

[purchase]

Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, our loved ones misunderstand us and our best efforts not only fail to benefit them in the ways that we intend, but they actually cause harm. In these times, some people take a longer view and are able to find solace in the hope of an eternal existence where we can "leave this wicked world behind".

In the last few years I've learned to love the artistry of David Bazan, formerly of Pedro The Lion. His hope is a hope in God that we will only find when we keep our eye on the finish line.

Heaven Week: Slow & Steady

Pedro The Lion: Slow And Steady

[purchase]

Quite a nice song of salvation from David Bazan under the Pedro The Lion moniker.  The real heavenly stuff comes along in the second verse:

When I get to heaven I'll be greeted warmly
Surrounded by angels
As Jesus takes my hand
I'll receive a mansion
On the river jordan
And a crown of diamonds
For a race well run
