Yell me a symphony in the style of a rap

Yell me a symphony in the style of a rap.
Shine a flashlight at the sun.
Ride your bike on the interstate.
Kick your house until it falls over.
Call the White House and ask if you can rent a room there for a while.
Go to an airport, yell "bomb!" and start throwing water balloons at cops.

What? Those things don't make sense?
And yet

Praise music mixes with trash music.
Words of encouragement mixes with cuss words and sex talk.
Watching the Bible on TV and watching some graphic shows right after.
Being a leader but you can't find joy in the Lord.
Seeking the Lord and not respecting other people's boundaries.

Oh, I know, we are all human.
We all sin
We all fail
We all fall short of the glory of God.
But when your life doesn't make sense,
Drop everything and make changes
That only God can help you do.
Seek out friendships to support you,
Sacrifice your earthly desires,
And run as hard as you can into God's presence.

Let everything you do be put through the filter of God.
Your time, friendships, money, books, movies, music, words, decisions....
You'll begin to see life through new eyes.
Your perspective will change.
It is worth it because it is as close to our original image as we can be.
We are created in God's image.
