Using words as musical instruments.

First off, much accolades to Elton John who did the original song in 1983. Life has been tough but a lot of us are “still standing”. The particular part of this song that really gets me hyper is the chorus. I can relate to the character in the movie “SING”, Johny the Ape with a British accent (Taron Egerton) who was passionate about following his heart despite his father's disapproval and absence. I know how it feels to be abandoned by one of the most important figures in one’s life, a Father.

This music influences me to consistently receive, trust and celebrate the only amazing tripartite personality with absolute divinity. The love poured out through this song flows out of willful adoration. Beginning with an accurate description of God “dependable” am totally at peace knowing that it doesn’t matter what comes my way Jesus remains good, loving and won’t stop being the savior of the world, the way he goes about doing his thing(goodness) is ‘intentional’ because he remains most trusted in every happenstance and/or circumstances.
