How to Be Whole Again- Repentance

The song I chose for my daily message this week is "Castle of Glass" by Linkin Park on their new album Living Things. The lyrics are pasted below.

If you read the lyrics it talks about going down and getting help almost and how some being is helping. I think of that person as being God. It states in the last two lines of the first stanza, "wash the poison from off my skin, Show me how to be whole again" I believe the poison to be sin, sin in our lives, and he is asking god to help him get it off through repentance, so he can be whole again.

In Heleman 5:11 it reads "And he hath power given unto him from the Father to redeem them from their sins because of repentance; therefore he hath sent his angels to declare the tidings of the conditions of repentance, which bringeth unto the power of the Redeemer, unto the salvation of their souls." I really think this goes with my testimony, because I really believe in the process of repentance and have grown to love it. I know that repentance is the only way back to our Heavenly Father. Without it we would all be lost in the world.

I love Jesus Christ because and know without him we wouldn't be able to repent. I love my family and all the support they give me, and I love the church. It brings a great light into my life. I love everybody and hope you enjoy the message today. I miss you all.

Love, Seth

Take me down to the river bend,
Take me down to the fighting end,
Wash the poison from off my skin
Show me how to be whole again

Fly me up on a silver wing
Past the black where the sirens sing
Warm me up in a nova's glow
And drop me down to the dream below

(Chorus)
Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see.
For you to see
Bring me home in a blinding dream
Through the secrets that I have seen
Wash the sorrow from off my skin
And show me how to be whole again

(Chorus)
Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see.
For you to see

(Bridge)
Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything else I need to be

(Chorus)
Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see.
For you to see
For you to see
