Everyday People [ Stewart]
Sometimes I'm right then I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my songs
A butcher, a banker, a drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
I am everyday people
Then it's the blue ones who can't accept
The green ones for living with
The black ones tryin' to be a skinny one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby dooby
Ooh sha sha
We gotta live together
I am no better and neither are you
We're all the same whatever we do
You love me you hate me
You know me and then
Still can't figure out the scene I'm in
I am everyday people
Then it's the new man
That doesn't like the short man
For being such a rich one
That will not help the poor one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on scooby dooby dooby
Ooh sha sha
We got to live together
There is a yellow one that won't Accept the black one
That won't accept the red one That won't accept the white one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and
Scooby dooby dooby Ooh sha sha I am everyday people
I heard the Lord say the words, Everyday People and recognizing it as a song from some time ago, looked up the lyrics. A lot of times God uses songs to speak to me. So I asked Him what He might like to say about this.
“Imagine all My people, living life in peace” came to me to the tune of Imagine from John Lennon.
Well this hasn’t happened before, but then I got, “ What the WORLD needs now, is love sweet love, that’s the only thing that there’s much too little of !”
Artist: Jackie DeShannon Lyrics
Song: What the World Needs Now Is Love Lyrics
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone.
Lord, we don't need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross,
Enough to last till the end of time.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.
Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, lord, if you want to know.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.
No, not just for some, oh, but just for everyone.
I thought at this point, OH YES LORD, that is SO true. What we need is YOUR LOVE poured out in our hearts. Anything else You want to say Abba ?
"Try a little Tenderness"
– Frank Sinatra
In the hustle of the day, we're all inclined to miss
Little things that mean so much
A word, a smile, and a kiss
When a woman loves a man, he's a hero in her eyes
And a hero he can always be if he'll just realize
She may be weary, women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary, try a little tenderness
She may be waiting, just anticipating
Things she may never possess
While she's without them, try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental, she has her grief and her care
But a word that's soft and gentle makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it, women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And it's all so easy, try a little tenderness
Me: Anything else Abba ?
“ I hear a lot of bantering back and forth about many cares and worries right now, and I know that you are recognizing the signs of the times. But I do not want you giving in to the division and the accusations of the enemy but to rise ABOVE to the heavenly places where you are SUPPOSED to be seated to see things as I SEE THEM.
For if you can see them as I see them, then you will be able to not be overcome by
the taunts and threats of the enemy. I want you to be SO secure in My love that you CAN love your enemies and be good to those who HATE you…and to pray for those who spitefully use you.
There are some things YOU DON’T KNOW. I’m aware that many of you think you have the answers and all things figured out. But I have a few surprises of My own. Keep CLOSE to Me beloveds for I am your only Security. I am the All-WISE One.
I alone know what is coming and what your role is and how I will supply the need.
So keep your hearts and eyes fixed on ME. Bear the cross and bear the reproach and fight the good fight of FAITH. Soon all will become more clear and you will dance and sing and jump and shout ! For the enemy who has been the bane of your existence you will ROUT.”
