Please listen to the following song by John Legend called “Ordinary People”. I plan to follow up this post with how I believe this song can shed some light on how to love church people. I have pasted the lyrics below. Please leave a comment with your thoughts and ideas.

(Due to copyright restrictions I don’t think I can upload the mp3 I have on my computer to this site. I don’t know why, but the embedded player will only play 30 sec. of the song. Please click the link that says “Play Full Song Here” to listen to the entire song on imeem.com.)

Ordinary People - John Legend

“Ordinary People”

Girl, I’m in love with you,
but this ain’t the honeymoon
we’re past the infatuation phase.
We’re right in the thick of love,
at times we get sick of love,
it seems like we argue every day.

[Bridge]

I know I misbehaved
and you made your mistakes
and we both still got room left to grow.
And though love sometimes hurts,
I still put you first
and we’ll make this thing work,
but I think we should take it slow.

[Chorus]

We’re just ordinary people,
we don’t know which way to go.
‘Cos we’re ordinary people,
Maybe we should take it slow.
Take it slow.
This time we’ll take it slow.
Take it slow.
This time we’ll take it slow.

[Verse 2]

This ain’t a movie no,
no fairy tale conclusion ya’ll,
it gets more confusing every day.
Oh, sometimes it’s heaven sent,
then we head back to hell again,
we kiss then we make up on the way.

[Bridge]

I hang up, you call,
we rise and we fall
and we feel like just walking away,
but as our love advances
we take second chances,
though it’s not a fantasy
I Still want you to stay.

[Chorus]

We’re just ordinary people,
we don’t know which way to go.
‘Cos we’re ordinary people,
Maybe we should take it slow.
Take it slow.
This time we’ll take it slow.
Take it slow.
This time we’ll take it slow.

[Verse 3]

Take it slow.

Maybe we’ll live and learn,
maybe we’ll crash and burn,
maybe you’ll stay, maybe you’ll leave,
maybe you’ll return.
Maybe another fight,
maybe we won’t survive,
but maybe we’ll grow,
we never know, baby you and I.

[Chorus]

We’re just ordinary people,
we don’t know which way to go.
‘Cos we’re ordinary people,
Maybe we should take it slow.
We’re just ordinary people,
we don’t know which way to go.
‘Cos we’re ordinary people,
Maybe we should take it slow.
Take it slow.
This time we’ll take it slow.
Take it slow.
This time we’ll take it slow.
Take it slow.
This time we’ll take it slow.
