Be careful little eyes what you see
It’s the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
Be careful little feet where you go
For it’s the little feet behind you that are sure to follow
It’s a slow fade when you give yourself away
It’s a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It’s a slow fade, it’s a slow fade
Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray
The journey from your mind to your hands
Is shorter than you’re thinking
Be careful if you think you stand
You just might be sinking
It’s a slow fade when you give yourself away
It’s a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day
Oh be careful little eyes what see
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
For the father up above is looking down in love
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
My dad left me at age 9. I am now age 14. All You men should be ashamed for not doing as you should. Love your kids. Cherish your wife. But protect them also. I have seen many awful things in this 21 century world. Leaving your kids destroys them. It destroyed me. Love them, provide for them! Im a boy and I cant wait for my family that God will give me!;)
I am in tears right now. Since I have gone to college I have been slowly turning away from God. Wow its weird to admit that. I've been falling into old bad habbits. I've been cussing, and viewing pornography. This song is so true, nothing like that happens fast. I've been slowly returning to my old ways. My roommate at college told me to watch this video. He doesn't know I've been slipping, he just knows I like this song. I've heard this song thousands of times, but right now I have watched the video for the first time. I need to stop slipping. Listening to this was an obvious nudge from God to prioritize my life. Guys please pray for me.
I didn't cry but when I heard it my heart broke. My names Jordan i'm 17 and I recently got born agian but the old disires have not passed, I still swear, look at pornography, and get angry with my mother. I pray for mercy and love everyday but I live in constant fear. I know i'm still blined and sin, i'm scared that i'm still lukewarm and that GOD will cut me off if I don't change. I had an abusive, cheating father as a kid so the porn and swearing came at an young age, and me and my mother try to get along but its hard. I don't want to sin anymore but every time I try to resist the temptation is to great. I still want to be GODS child but i'm so scared and confused. Please pray for me.
My drug addiction is what this song hits the most. giving myself to men, alcohol and now I'm hitting my rock bottom and I pray everyday that God will be here for me always
Satan's most often used tactic is the small voice that says " What's it going to hurt if you give in just a little bit. "It is ALWAYS about the seduction ................
"The surest road to Hell is the gradual one—the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts."
- Screwtape (slightly paraphrased)
There is a famous saying that says: "When elephants fight, it's the grass that suffer." Translation, when a mom and dad fight, it's the CHILDREN that suffer.
Children may be quiet and don't know what to say, but down deep, they feel whole world is collapsing over them. Just realize what your children are going through mom and dad. Your children matter.
I know this song is primarily about adultery, but all sin is a slow fade. The more consumed you get in your sin the farther you get from the Lord.
Nobody wakes up and says, "Today's the day I cheat on my spouse." or "Today's the day I become an addict or alcoholic." It truly is a slow fade, but will eventually consume you.
I went to a Casting Crowns concert with my children....I was a raging alcoholic and bound by drugs.....when they sang this song I didnt know it was about adultery but it brought heavy conviction over me....I almost walked out of the church while they sang this song....but I couldn't leave because my sons were holding my hands one on each side ...looking at me in the eyes singing this song to me.....I was backslidden at the time so I understood how God was using all this conviction to wake me up......I ended up repenting about a year later....Bless Jesus....for breaking my heart again
