Reminder That I Can Be Stupid
I’m going through all of Calvin Crest’s worship music in order to have a nice binder of songs for the summer. I came across the song “Romans 16:19.” For those unfamiliar with it, the song basically contains the text of Romans 16:19.
It reminded me of a time a few summers back when I was particularly frustrated with some people I was working around. I had the feeling that some of us were being selfish. That we thought it was all about us. I found a copy of the lyrics for “Romans” and noticed that they read “And the God of peace will soon crush Satan… underneath His feet.” I thought to myself, “all this time we’ve been singing: “underneath YOUR feet.”
“Man,” I thought. “We are so selfish.” So I used this as an illustration to the group.
Later on, they pointed out that the scripture does, indeed, read “underneath your feet.” And rather than scouring the grounds of this Christian camp I work at for an actual Bible, I found a misnoted copy of song lyrics to back up my claim.
They were kind to me.
