These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
–Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (NIV)–

Train up a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not depart from it.
–Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV)–

Fathers, do not provoke your children,
lest they become discouraged.
–Colossians 3:21 (NKJV)–

As for me and my house,
we will serve the Lord.
–Joshua 24:15 (NKJV)–

—

I’m tired of your open mouth
Crawling inside my skin
Endless pain we never quit
The fight within that pride’s begun

Saying it’s too late
What a man’s got, he’ll learn to hate

Forget the time I said I would
Replace that with I never will
Beyond the facts held in your face
Ignore the facts beyond your nose

Saying it’s too late
What a man’s got, he’ll learn to hate

Grow up!

Not without meaning
No response, no revealing

Just grow up!
Wrong!
Wrong!
Wrong!
Wrong!

–Chevelle, “Family System”–
