The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day

The Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul the Apostle
The Interrupters, "Broken World" from Fight the Good Fight (Saint Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: This is my own way of pleading for Christian unity. The world needs Christ, the Light of the World. Is Christ divided? (1 Corinthians, 1:13) Yet we who claim to be His Body, His Church, are divided, sadly & bitterly divided. This broken world needs us to be united in order to believe that the Father send the Son. (St. John, 17:21) Do we have the courage, the charity, the love to unite?
"It's hard livin' in a broken world,
Too much division in a broken world,
Nobody listens in a broken world,
We're on a mission, I wanna know—

"When it's dark as a dungeon can you be a light?
Can you bring peace in the middle of a fight?
When you see separation can you unite?
And when you see 'em doing wrong can you do what's right?

"From the bottom of our hearts,
To the top of our lungs,
We're crying out for unity
And the battle's just begun!
Let love be your foundation,
Let wisdom be your guide,
'Til the problems that we're facing
Can no longer divide
A broken world!…

"If your enemy was drowning would you pull him to shore?
If a stranger was starving would you open your door?
Are there any revolutionaries here anymore?
And what you gonna be remembered for?…"
