A man named Solomon once said there’s nothing new under the sun. When you read his story, you’ll see he was someone with authority on the subject.
But I say there’s not nothing new under the sun.
Even though I’m not a king, and I don’t play one on YouTube, I have more authority on the subject than King Solomon had. So, you can quote me.
“There’s not nothing new under the sun.”
I know them there’s some mighty bold words for a gimpy words and music guy. But I done said it. And I ain’t takin’ it back. And you can’t make me.
‘Cause even if I ain’t got a PhD, I know what a double negative is in algebra and grammar. And I know it turns a negative sounding statement into an actually positive statement and two negatives, in algebra, to a positive.
So, when I say there’s not nothing new, that actually means there IS something new. Ya folla? And that something new should be you. Something created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
Now, watch as I take that idea and turn a negative into a positive when I say…
Nothing New
There’s nothing new to say today,
Not even this.
So, I’ll just go outside and play.
Ignorant bliss.
You’ve probably heard it all before
So many times.
And nothing gives you cause to snore
Like simple rhymes.
But maybe this will flash a light
Inside your brain,
A spark of hope so you just might
Avoid some pain.
Now, even though there’s nothing new
To say today,
I know you’ll find some peace when you
Can see the Way
God did the deed you could not do.
And so I pray
For words to write and songs to sing
My whole life long.
To simply not say anything
Would be so wrong.
But will you pay attention to
These words I share?
Or will you say, “It’s nothing new,
And I don’t care.”
You’ll see, one day, you had a choice
Of where you’d be.
If you choose God, you will rejoice
Eternally. © 2020 TF
