"All These Things That I've Done" by The Killers
This song is about a life lived, and searching for acknowledgement of that life. Things have gotten desperate but not hopeless. I imagine Jesus singing this song on his last day.
Today I participated in my local church's Stations of the Cross, which takes two hours and is a full passion play though the streets. There were estimated about 2,000 people taking this walk, this pilgrimage, in the streets of Chicago. The police were blocking the streets and I could not help but think this walk had to be similar to the one Jesus took, with onlookers and questionable law enforcement everywhere. What was going through Jesus's mind during that walk?
Is there room for one more son
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
I am so much older than I can take
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner
With all these things that I've done
Listen to the song, and think of the Stations of the Cross. Think of Jesus's journey, not just today but through his life - coming to this moment, his death. Jesus made his sacrifices for us, for the unimaginable love of God for us. What do we make sacrifices for? What do we think about on the road to those sacrifices?
