The Fortunate from Progress by Rory Friesen
Progress Track 7 - 'The Fortunate'
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 5:3 (ESV)
I found a way to mention Saturday morning cartoons in a song based on such a profound concept. Must've been a God thing.

Lyrics
(lyrics)
Oh, I'm naked and blind,
One of the fortunate kind,
I cannot move You, persuade or choose You,
I'm Yours to find,
I'm begging don't change Your mind.
Tears, they counsel the soul,
Haven't you ever grown old?
Fears an elective and it's been suggested I run,
But I keep on running home.
Saturday morning cartoons,
Pushing it all into rooms,
So introspective,
My Lord come and fill up my view,
Fill it with You,
'Cause faster and faster it goes,
Setting a course no-one knows,
Any direction,
Then once off the table it rolls,
Moving through souls,
God only knows.
