"An Act of Kindness"

An Act of Kindness - Bastille

This wasn't on my radar at all until last year when I was looking for a piece of music to go behind an Easter chalk drawing... A petition to the Hive-Mind of Facebook brought this song to my attention.
(It was the perfect piece, as long as I removed the bridge about feeling guilty...)

​Here's the video I edited together:

Have you ever noticed that the Cross is everywhere?
In the intentional through religious art.
In the fashionable of jewellery and clothing.
In the integral as a crucial part of the structure of architecture.

And what if we used all those reminders to point back to Jesus' act on the cross?
And what if we thought of it as an "Act of Kindness"?

"​Kindness: The quality of being generous..."

A reminder of the generosity of God...
A reminder of our calling to be generous with what we have received from God...

Lyrics:
​An act of kindness
Is what you show to me
Not more than I can take
Not more than I can take
Kindness is what you show to me
It holds me 'till I ache
Overflow and start to break

Oh I, got a feeling this will shake me down
Oh I, kind of hoping this will turn me round

And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day

An act of kindness
Is what you show to me
It caught me by surprise in this town of glass and eyes
Kindness, so many people pass me by
But you warm me to my core and you left me wanting more

Oh I, got a feeling this will shake me down
Oh I, kind of hoping it will turn me round
Oh I, got a feeling that however slow
Oh I, kind of hoping this will reach my soul

And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day
