So Long Self Blog

“Well if I come across a little bit distant, it’s just because I am. Things just seem to feel a little bit different, you understand? Believe it or not, but life is not apparently not about me anyways. But I have met the One that really is worthy so let me say, ‘So long self, well, it’s been fun but I have found somebody else. So long self, there’s just no room for two, so you are gonna have to move. So long self, don’t take this wrong, but you are wrong for me, farewell, oh well, goodbye, don’t cry. Oh, so long self.’ Stop right there because I know what you’re thinking, but no, we can be friends. And even though, I know, your heart is breaking this has to end. And, come to think of it, the blame for all of this simply falls on me for wanting something more in life than all of this. Can’t you see?” “Don’t feel so bad. There’ll be better days. Don’t go away mad, but by all means, just go away.” Mercy Me sings these heartfelt lyrics in the song, So Long Self. As depressing as the song sounds, it is actually just a representation of someone’s faith and belief in God. It clearly lets the world know that God is the only God, and He comes before EVERYTHING and EVERYONE else, including ourselves. I especially like the beginning of the chorus, “So long self, there’s just no room for two, so you are gonna have to move.” I often feel like I do things for myself instead of God, and then I always feel overloaded. This part of the song describes my feelings to a T. I love God with all my heart, all my mind, all my strength, and all my soul, but I seem to get caught up in other things and have to be reminded that God loves me unconditionally.
